mickjacket Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Our travel agent advised me to use either Uber or lyft for transfer to airport following trip. My concern is will there be any issues getting either of those or either taxi? We disembark on Friday morning 2/2/18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 You shouldn't have any issue with getting Uber or Lyft. I love it, because you can queue it up when you're still in the airport (like getting luggage) and then know exactly where the car is, and when it will get you.

jticarruthers Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Miami airport to Miami cruise port is a straight shot down a highway and seems to be a very popular connection, shouldn't be a problem to get uber/lyft/taxi/supershuttle, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mworkman Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I'm here in Miami now and it wasn't a problem getting Lyft from airport to hotel and to the port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I plan on trying either Uber/Lyft for the first time when I cruise out of Miami in January(we don't have either here) I will be trying it out from the port to a hotel near the Dolphin mall and then the next morning from the hotel to the airport very early. Hoping it works as well and as smooth as every seems to say it does. Normally I rely on hotel shuttles or a cab when its not too expensive. But for these two trips, it was going to cost me close to $100 so I figured that was a good time to try another option. Wish me luck on my experience!

JLMoran Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Given all the trouble Uber has been getting into lately with issues like tracking riders after the ride was done, their Greyball software, being hacked and paying off the hackers to keep it quiet for over a year, etc. (not to mention their treatment of employees and drivers), I'd suggest only trying out Lyft. Particularly with that hacking revelation, not sure I'd want to give my personal info to them. Granted, so many US companies have been hacked now and so much personal / credit card info has been stolen that it might almost make no difference at this point; but seeing as you're Canadian and maybe have avoided some of this mess, why open yourself up to it now?

monctonguy Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Good to know and something to think about....I generally use a prepaid/loaded USD credit card when I travel for that very reason....but still, cant be too cautious.....

DocLC Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 If you do end up needing to take a taxi after disembarking, there will be plenty and the price is fixed between the cruise port and the airport. Last time I sailed from Miami it was $24, but it may have gone up since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Yes....was $27 when I was there in January....BUT...I am going to a hotel for the night...so I would have to pay $27 for a taxi to the airport and then get a shuttle to the hotel for free......or pay a cab to go from the port to the hotel whish is around $55-60...or hopefully get a Uber/Lyft for about $20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
