I agree! I shopped around and it was a good deal with the transfers! They also will take you back to the airport after the cruise which I didn't realize it included until they gave me the number to call on the way to POM. We bought water and pop, etc. that night as well and walked to Red Lobster. It's a nice location and had a nice pool area with hot tub.

I had a 12:05 flight and was stressing. I sailed the Getaway and part of the issue was waiting on the shuttle. There was a huge traffic jam and it was making everyone's shuttles late. The driver was stressing as he had to get back into that mess to pick more up after he dropped us off. I'm sure there were a lot of people late for their flights.

A taxi from PC to MCO is likely to run $100-120+ for the 45-60 minute trip. How much are you saving on that early flight? :confused:

Holy cow! I had no ideal!! LOL...yeah...think I'll switch :)

Thank you! There aren't taxi's lined up at all around 8 or so when ships are in? I was just thinking of getting a taxi but will get the car if need be.

Hilton Garden Inn in FLL has a free shuttle to POM? :confused:

They have a stay and cruise pkg that includes it..They have one for POM and there were about 10 of us on it :) I thought it was a good deal since the airfare was cheaper into FLL saved me money from Airport to hotel, hotel to pier and then pier to airport and included breakfast for only 170 a night when we went.

I flew into FLL and sailed the Getaway out of POM. The Hilton Garden Inn had an airport shuttle and also to the port with a package which also included breakfast. They then took us back to the FLL Airport directly from the Pier. It was great! The room wasn't that expensive either which when combined with all the transfers was well worth it! Hotel is also within walking distance to shopping, etc. They also have a shuttle for restaurants, etc. the night before if you want-we just walked everywhere.

The Hilton Garden Inn was nice and reasonable with their airport and pier transportation option which included breakfast in the morning. They have a nice outdoor pool and hot tub too if people are flying in early. I used this hotel in June for four of us going on the Getaway. And we walked to Red Lobster the night before and plenty of shopping within walking distance too for last minute things and pop, etc. There were quite a few restaurants to walk to.

I will be on Carnival Valor arriving in port at 7am. If I carry my own luggage, will I make a 10:50 flight ok out of Orlando? Its just a straight flight and the next ones out are so much pricier and have stops. Thanks in advance!

I will be on the same cruise on the 22nd! I have been a few cruises, but never to Puerto Rico. We are flying in the night before as well. I figure we can drop the luggage at the port early and then explore. Is there a lot within walking distance from the port?
