RCIfan1912 Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 We did the Freeport Maine LL Bean transfer last month in October but didn't like that excursion didn't start till 1 so we were in Freeport much later than we wanted to be. Next October we would like to get into Freeport more like 10:00/10:30. Is it basically Uber as the only option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billdauterive Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Rental cars are usually a better option for a longer trip like that and provide much more time flexibility. I used the Enterprise location in downtown to drive to Kennebunkport. It's about a mile from the port so it's walkable or Uber was about $6 each way. The airport also has several other rental company options and isn't too far from the port. Just like most things, go ahead and create a reservation now and watch for price drops throughout the year. I also like the fact that rental car reservations don't require any deposit up front and you can just no show with no penalty if another option presents itself.

SaGc Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 There's also the Metro BREEZ public bus: https://gpmetro.org/155/Metro-BREEZ. The India/Congress Street stop in Portland is super close to the ship's terminal, and drops you off right in front of LL Bean in Freeport.

I love the idea but we have to plan correctly so we are back to the ship. How frequent are the busses and can we get back in time is the question. Thanks for the suggestion.

RCIfan1912 Posted November 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 Well we can scrap the bus idea, they don't run on Sundays. So it's either Uber, or rent a car. Our son will be almost 3 for that cruise so I'm not sure how that works with babies and all as far as car seats go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most rental car companies can provide a car seat if requested. It might be an additional cost though. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
