After seeing all the pictures, it amazes me how this ship will be ready to sail in 4 days now. I'm guessing it will leave Freeport Friday night to make it's way to Tampa, but after a 2 1/2 week dry dock it's nuts how contractors can accomplish so much. I'm really interested to see the Fun Times as well and hear all about the ships improvements. I'm on the 11/30 sailing and can't wait.

If it's anything like the Freedom dry dock in the Spring, everything won't be done. We were the first sailing out of dry dock and while we had a great time. wouldn't recommend doing that again. :) New staff boarding the same time we were, Red Frog opened the last 2 days and we were glad we got to see it, the kids area was still under construction as well as a few other small areas. So they will finish up things while sailing.

It really is amazing what they can do in that short amount of time! We sail on the Pride Jan 18th and can not wait!!!!

Taxi from the port to TPA is a flat rate fare of $25+tip for the cab; van and SUV cabs are the same price. The ride takes about 15+ minutes.

We will be traveling with 6. Would this rate be for all of us or is it per person? TIA! Still deciding on the best hotel pkg. This thread has been helpful! We are cruising Jan 18, 2015.

Thanks SS for your awesome review! We will be sailing on the Pride for the first time in July. We're stopping in Grand Turk, HMC, and Freeport. We only have a short time in Freeport also. I know my husband, and I don't think he's going to want to take a taxi anywhere in fear of missing the ship at 1:30! Did you ever feel like your driver wouldn't show or were there other taxis at Junkaroo?
