This is a great tip for transportation to & from YVR airport to/from cruise dock. We just got off the Radiance of the Seas 05/17/2019, and did not want to be rushed by taking the cruise line bus and pay the $21.00+ per person they wanted, I looked into other options and found the public transportation called "Sky Train", it has a station about 5 minutes away on foot from Canada Place called the waterfront station. Please note there are two train lines that run from the area of Canada Place , you want to take the "Canada Line", the station is around the corner and down about a block from the station that is across the street from Canada Place. The cost $3.11 USD (4.20 Canadian) per person one way it takes about 26 minutes. Canada Place is where the cruise ship dock in Vancouver. The station at the airport is a short walk from the arrival/departure area. I don't know what taxis cost but Uber/Lyft is not available (late 2019 is projected for service) in the city of Vancouver. We had four pieces of luggage, a backpack, and a tote (so how did we drag all this luggage to the train station?), I always have six plastic hook bungee cords when we travel and I piggy backed the luggage. One bungee went through the top handles of the bag, two bungees hooked together went around the bags, so we each had two bags hooked together and rolled the luggage down the street - and we weren't the only ones , the train is full of people going to the airport.

Hello everyone; Excited to be going on my first mega ship the Oasis in a few weeks. We will be dropping a rental car off at FLL airport and have to get to Port everglades. Our thought is to drop luggage off early at the ship and then drop rental car off and head back to the port. Question: What would be the options for getting back to the port. I am thinking Taxi, I am reading on line its about $20 but how old is that info? Anyone used taxi frequently? Uber is another options. Never used it but thinking of trying it. Also we would not be adverse to a shuttle but Yelp had some preatty poor reviews about the "GO" shuttle service. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks Rich
