How this list is made

We include every rated port whose guide says rideshare apps (Uber, Lyft or a local app) are available for getting around. Ports where the guide says there is no rideshare, such as Cozumel and Roatán, are left out. Pickup points at cruise terminals can be restricted, so check the app before you walk out.

Quick answers

Can you use Uber at cruise ports?

At the ports on this list, yes, according to our guides. Many Caribbean islands have no rideshare at all, so plan on taxis there. Fares and availability change; check the app on the day.
