Hyatt to Port transfers for 19

I booked 5 rooms at Hyatt for 8/1 before our cruise on Indy. Thanks to these boards I went through Valuetrip and got them for $99 each! Other sites were quoting $131 to $145 and non refundable. But now I want to figure out a better way to transport 19 people to the port Sunday morning. It seems like the hotel shuttle service at $7/person is high and I don't know if we'd all get on the same one. Would we be able to get enough taxi vans on our own or is there a shuttle bus service I can rent?

I am also interested in that. I have 22 people to transport to the port

Okay, you are so close to the port that to try an arrange a shuttle bus would be an expensive PIA.

I would just have everyone meet downstairs and start taking cabs. You can fit four to a cab with luggage for around $10 a cab.

If you try and arrange transportation for everyone, you are going to be at the mercy of the last, late person who is going to piss off your early birds.

Yes, I tend to agree with you. We'll just meet up at the terminal. Do you have to show your passport at the gates to the port when taking a taxi in? Does everyone in the party need to?

Yes and yes!

Cab it. Some cab van/suv models will hold 5 or 6. I'm not talking shuttle service vans which charge per person.
