What is a transportation add on when booking a cruise?
What is a transportation add on when booking a cruise?
And why is it so expensive?

That is typically called “transfers” which mean that the cruise line makes arrangements to pick you up at the airport, generally by bus or mini-van, and drops you and your bags at the port. Then after the cruise they will take you back to the airport. You can request transfers both ways, or just one way if you want.
The price of transfers, or as you called it transportation is not really that much more costly than taking a taxi between the airport and the cruise port. Sometimes what seems like a lot is actually a few dollars more than a cab ride and the cruise line is making a little money on the transportation the same as it does with the cruise, and tours from the ship. Transfers vary in price because the distances from the airport to the port vary. For example, if you fly to Ft Lauderdale, Florida for a cruise out of Port Everglades, the port is only about 5 or 6 miles from the airport; about 15 minutes away, so its a much lower price than if you were cruising leaving the Rome airport and the cruise port is 80 miles, or an hour’s drive, away.
So distance from the port is the main reason. Then add in a little profit to cover the cost of renting and reserving the bus. The transportation, or transfers, are an option that you can decline and make your own plan to get to the port. Sometimes that makes sense and I have done that when I know that I can easily get a taxi to the pier or airport.

This is two parts-
Air travel “add on” is the airfare from your home airport to the cruise departure airport. This is the price of the airfare, based on their bulk rates. The down side is that they charge you an extra +/- $35 per person extra if you want to change what they offer (read “custom air”) along with their inflated price. I have found that their price is usually MORE than what I am able to book independently, plus I can choose to go a day earlier, or stay later. Just be sure to plan to fly early enough to allow for delays, luggage, taxi, etc.
Ground “transfers” are the price of the bus from the cruise departure airport to the pier, each way. Uniformed agents wait at baggage claim and direct you and your luggage to buses. They have a list of paid transfer passengers and try to round you up in groups. Although we once waited about 45 minute for some bozos who decided to stop and have drinks in the airport upon arrival <sigh>. This price is based on distance. But again, independent is cheaper- always. In Dover England, you walk 100 yards to the train to get you to London. Cruise line wanted $100 per person, while the train ticket was about $50!
If you are intelligent and independent, book your own. Ask on cruiselinefans.com, on your particular port, and you can get a good guess what it will cost.

Overweight experience at Sea World, Univerals Studios/Island of Adventure or Busch Gardens?
A few of my close friends and I are planning a trip to Orlando this summer. One of our friends is overweight, and is scared she won’t be able to ride anything. We’ve been to Disney, so we know she’s okay there. But what about Sea World, Universal Studios Parks and Busch Gardens? Does anyone know where I can find information on size/weight restrictions or perhaps other people’s experiences with these non-Disney Parks? She’s so nervous about it, and I want to help ease a little anxiety.
