Hello,

 

I am taking a cruise with my almost 2 year old who has never cruised and do not want to bring a carseat. Anyone know of shuttle,taxi, car service that provides carseats. I am flying into Houston and need transported to Galveston. I am in a large group of people 14-19. Any help appreciated!

Here is a prior thread:

The one time we cruise out of Galveston (while not living in Texas), we actually rented a car and paid to park it. However, it was different in that we were visiting family for several days before hand. In your case, you can probably do well on a per-person cost basis with a shuttle bus (or 2 or 3.) :)

 

In the end, you're going to need to call and ask about carseats, particularly if you want a guarantee that they'll have one. We have never run into a problem, but most car rental or shuttle will not guarantee availability of a seat.

 

Anyway, the above thread should give you some leads.

After facing a similar dilemma, someone recommended this:

 

Costco Scenera, it's cheap, super light and can be used on planes!

For $39, it's hard to beat! We took it off the ship to use in the taxi in Cozumel too.

When I took our then 16 month old on a cruise that left out of Houston, we booked a cruise transfer from the airport to the port through Princess. The transportation provided was a bus so no car seat needed.
