The Guru Take
Scheduled Rides
Yes, Uber does allow you to schedule rides for future dates and times. You can do this directly in the app. (For instructions, take a look at this article.)
There are a few caveats however:
For one, this is not a true reservation. This is a "scheduled" request that gets triggered when the preset time arrives. Hence, the driver availability is not guaranteed.
Also, scheduled rides does not mean a driver will already be waiting for you. It is still an on-demand service, and hence you may still have to wait, depending on the drivers. In short, this is not that different than you requesting a ride upon arrival at the cruise terminal.
For more info: Is it true that Uber Scheduled Rides are not guaranteed?

You probably don't need to schedule in advance, as long as you're going to a populated area... Uber is everywhere. When you get there, just hit the button in your uber app.
