Roimont Posted November 9, 2006 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hi, What is the best way to get to the port of Miami from the Miami airport if there are 3 of us travelling. Should I buy transfers $14 one way $28 round trip each or are there other more cost effective ways of doing this. Reliable shuttle service suggestions or take a cab from the airport? I am on Valor Dec 24th sailing and the return is the 31st. I am sure the airports will be crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdood Posted November 9, 2006 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Define "best", is that the cheapest, most convenient, most comfortable? Cheapest is at the center of the terminal, lower level you can catch the bus, it is $1.50 per person, runs pretty frequently, little bit of walking. Most convenient is a cab, it will run about $30 one way for the three of you. Most comfortable is private limo car, about $85 each way not including tip. I would add that the Carnival shuttle is not even in the running for any of those categories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob42 Posted November 9, 2006 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2006 In oct. we did the cab thing $23 and was at the airport in about 25 minutes. Stay away from the Carnival transpo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted November 9, 2006 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Take a cab. They are plentiful, cheap fast and efficient. The Carnival transfer in Miami is a mistake we only made once.....on our first cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roimont Posted November 9, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Thanks. Are there plenty of cabs when you get off the ship or are there long lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted November 9, 2006 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Thanks. Are there plenty of cabs when you get off the ship or are there long lines? Cabs are plentiful but you wait in a queue. Even if the queue is long it is much easier to get in a cab than the far less organized lines for the Carnival busses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rick (or anyone with information on this topic) , do you recommend taking the bus in Miami? And is there direct bus From MIA to port or do you have many transfers on the way? ... Walking is not a problem, but wondering if it is safe! Thanks for any information:) ziggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
