Best car service for big family?

We will have 17 people in our group when we cruise the Dream in May. Could you tell me the best option for a car/limo/van service for us? I would welcome suggestions of company as well as type of vehicle that would fit us all and be the least expensive option. Thanks!

Unless you are going to hire a large bus (which might not be a bad idea), you're going to have to have two vehicles. Probably the best choice to accomodate all of those people and luggage would be two 10-passenger vans. FL Tours (sponsor of this board; see link above) and other providers offer such vehicles.

When we cruised with a large group about six years ago, someone arranged for a 23 passenger bus. It was perfect and had plenty of room for ALL of our luggage. I will try to track down the name of the company after work.
Where are you starting from? MCO? WDW? or somewhere else?

If you don't mind taking two vans, lots of companies have them. We've used these vehicles with Tiffany Towncar and Happy Limo for recent trips. Both the vehicles and the companies were fine. The vans hold from 10 to 14 people, depending on the size.

If you prefer to have everyone in the same vehicle, Happy Limo has a 32 passenger mini-bus that will take your group from MCO or from Disney hotels to the port. We used the min-bus a few trips ago. Lots of room and quite comfortable. I think a round trip from a Disney hotel to the port and back is in the $600.00 range. Divided up amongst a group that size, the cost per person is not too bad.

My guess is the cost would be about the same for either option (one vehicle or two).

Good luck.
