jaedam0820 Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Is catching a taxi easy from the port going to the airport? Do you have any suggestions on how to go from port to the airport on disembarkation day? Is it ideal to book a taxi service beforehand?

AshleyDillo Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 It is very easy. There are people outside with signs for shuttle services that you can walk up to. There's also a taxi line. Additionally you can use Uber or Lyft or purchase an airport transfer through the cruiseline while onboard. jaedam0820 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowchaser Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Taxi is set price of $27 for 1 or a family and you can get a van for that price too. Uber is a couple dollars cheaper but for me the taxi is just easier with it being right outside the terminal door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAYNO Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 We no longer privately arrange a shuttle when we're done with a cruise. We book a shuttle from the ship itself, and our bus is waiting at the terminal. Painless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were going to use a private company, SAS Transportation, for $15/ea. How does that compare to the cost to book on the ship?

Sweety Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 I always take the shuttle to Miami airport at $10 per person. They are outside of the port. We get to the airport before 8am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Wife is cruising, as we speak, or else I'd ask her. Yes, she has VOOM (wifi), but as too often happens, it's not working. KimV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAYNO Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 @KimV I just found it... $31.90 for the two of us. I s'pose there are better deals, but there's also value in stepping outside the cruise terminal, and there's a person waving a paddle for the Royal Caribbean transfer. Step on the bus, and voila!

bobroo Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 It is beyond reasonable thinking why the people of South Florida do not require the port authorities of Miami and Ft Lauderdale and their co-conspirators in the cruise industry to fund and build a tram service/ ski lift/ train/ or a zip line inbetween the cruise port and it’s airport. Why????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's the folks of South Florida who should say it's unfair for cruise ships to inundate our transportation network. It is undue burden for the residents here to have to deal with the traffic, congestion, and limiting of resources so that these cruise lines can make money on their ships that cost $1 B a piece. And; Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Virgin each one of you have just spent about $250 M a piece to build terminals in Miami for yourselves-- so there is plenty of money available. Port authorities, we want you to build ( entirely funded by the cruise lines) a zipline, ski lift gondola, Elon Musk magnetic underground train, a tram, a train, or dredge a canal so that the cruise lines can transport their passengers directly to and from FLL or MIA and not interfere with our community any longer. And Port Canaveral......you especially are in our crosshairs. WAAAYTOOO and WAYNO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
