distance from tampa airport to tampa pier

my family and I traveling on the Inspiration 8/09 fpr the first time. How far is the port from tampa airport? and does anyone know approx cost of a cab for 5 to the pier or alternate transportation besides carnival bus service.? thanks for any info appreciate it

The airport is about 15 miles from Port Tampa. A cab ride should be about $25-$30. You should be able to negotiate a flat fee from the airport. Just look for the taxi stand outside of baggage claim. The cruise terminal is right next door to the Tampa Aquarium. Have a great cruise.

thanks for the info!!

The flat fee last August from the Airport was $25. The way our cab driver drove, it seems like it only took 5 mins to get to the port. Be sure to buckle up. :-)

Yep, straight shot down the interstate. Takes no time at all. I believe there is also an aiport shuttle van service for $20/pp.

15 miles????

Its definitely not that long at all...

Depending on traffic you should be at the port before 15 minutes.....

It depends what time you fly in.....

If you go the shortest route, it's about 10 miles; sometimes shortest isn't fastest though, since it involves more stoplights & side streets. If you hop on the interstate it's a little more, maybe 11 miles or so. Barring traffic issues, it takes around 15 minutes.

Cab is a flat rate of $25 per cab. Five might be able to squeeze into a minivan style cab (same fare rate) depending on how much luggage you have.

yeah, its definately 10 miles or less....I used to work near the airport and from my office to the downtown exit it was 8 miles, the port is probably less than a mile from the exit.
