Buquebus: A Great Way to BA…unless you are handicapped

Posted by southron on September 5th, 2006

The Trip on the “fast” boat from MVD to BA takes 3 hours in each direction and usually leaves withing a half hour of the scheduled departure time. The trip is comfortable in airline style seats and there is ample food and drinks available for purchase during the trip. The lounges are really nice at both ends. This is a really low tension alternative to flying and takes you from downtown to downtown. However, during the highseason the lines can be very long and if you are not traveling 1st Class you must arrive early and stand in line waiting to board you may be left with a poor seating choice.

But if you are handicapped, and especially if you are wheelchair bound - it could be pretty rough.

Traveling to Uruguay from Costa Rica via Miami with 2 dogs, 5 suitcases and 2 wheelchairs.
