For most cruise operators, the timetable is the principal driver. Massive cruise ships have to leave and arrive at port based on a fixed schedule that is tied to the tide, the availability of shipping berths, and the precision economics of their industry.
So when schedule variances go even a few minutes in either direction, it can cause massive, expensive problems that have implications throughout the industry. In other words, ships run on a tight schedule.
Ground Transportation
Generally, it’s not the ships themselves that cause delays. Most cruise ships are well-maintained, can operate in practically any weather, and are run by experienced military-trained teams that understand and appreciate the need to stay on schedule. No, most of the time delays are caused by ground transportation.
Getting passengers to and from the ship on time requires luxury charter bus drivers who respect a ship’s tight timetable. The best charter bus drivers know that they need to account for traffic, weather, and passengers’ tendency to dawdle. All of these factors are built into the schedules of FloridaTours.com, South Florida’s most reliable provider of ground transportation services for the cruise industry.
