Flying to Barbados for a cruise? Check whether your airport transfer is included
Before arranging a ride from Grantley Adams International Airport to your ship, check what your cruise booking covers. Your flight, road transfer and baggage arrangements may each have different instructions.
Is the transfer included?
If your documents confirm a ride, save the voucher and meeting instructions. If it is excluded, plan your own onward journey. If the wording is unclear, ask your cruise line or travel agent to confirm the BGI-to-ship leg in writing before paying for another ride.
Who handles your bags at BGI?
Check whether you must collect your bags, who takes them to the ship and which labels to attach. Charter and scheduled-flight procedures can differ. Follow the instructions for your own flight and keep travel documents and essentials with you.
What if you booked your own flight?
For same-day boarding, work backward from the check-in deadline on your cruise documents. Allow for airport formalities, baggage collection, road travel and port access. If you stay overnight, plan the airport-to-hotel and hotel-to-port legs separately. Confirm the gate named in your boarding instructions.

What about the return to BGI?
Check the return leg separately. If you arrange it yourself, confirm the pickup point, expected disembarkation time and your airline’s check-in deadline. Ask the provider about luggage space before choosing a vehicle.
