pjpu Posted November 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2019 A couple of questions. How far is the airport to cruise port for Carnival? Other than Carnival's paid shuttle, what other options are available for transportation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted November 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2019 About 8-9 miles. Taxis and Uber. Taxi fare is around $19 plus $1 per each piece of luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonsai3s Posted November 20, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 20, 2019 As stated, we can confirm that Uber is now available FROM the airport. It started approximately the second week of October. Here's our experience: At the Luis Munoz International Airport, there was a sign on wall stating "Rideshare", by the baggage claim. We followed the arrow and it led us UPSTAIRS to the ground floor. There was a designated area for Uber and an airport employee giving assistance to passengers wanting to use Uber. (We exited at Terminal B) Disclosure: Our hotel (Embassy Suites) was on minutes away from the airport but we wanted to confirm if Uber was actually an option instead of the taxi. It took less than 2 minutes for our Uber driver to show up...and less than 10 minutes to our hotel...cost $9 including tip. The next day, we also used Uber from our hotel to the Pan American Pier...again it took less than 2 minutes for our driver to arrive....about 15 minutes (without traffic) from the hotel to the Pan American cruise terminal....cost $7.20. Happy Sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1TravelMom Posted November 22, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Uber is a great option. There are more drivers than before so service is prompt. Remember to tip generously so service continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piggiepuff Posted January 10, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2020 San Juan is split into zones for taxis. As mentioned above, it is $19 (not per person but for the total fare) plus $1 per bag (they've only charged us for suitcases, not our carry-on backpacks). There used to be an additional $1-2 fee for the airport itself, but I don't know if they've gotten rid of it. I haven't done an uber FROM the airport (yet), but we did uber TO the airport and had no issues at all. I believe our uber rides in San Juan were all slightly cheaper than the taxi rates and they did not charge us for luggage. ZONE 1 → San Juan International Airport ZONE 2 → Isla Verde Hotels & Resorts ZONE 3 → Condado, Miramar, Ocean Park – Hotels, Resorts, New San Juan Beaches ZONE 4 → Old San Juan & Hotels, ALL Cruise Ship Piers, Puerta de Tierra ZONE 5 → Puerto Rico Convention Center, Isla Grande Airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
