We are looking at super shuttle which quoted us $75. For 2 of us. Hope that helps

After a painful evening of searching, this looks like the best rate so far. Would be interesting to see if others sailing on the Oct. 18 Jewel could finagle a group rent of a Super Shuttle. Add't $10/pp isn't too bad if you get a near-full van!

Of course, on further inspection it's still $50+ for a taxi from there. I suppose it is a savings over the $180 for you, though!

If you're looking for affordable, there is this that I just found this evening -- public transit to close-ish the port. It'd get you to the space center, which by Google estimates is ~15 min away from the port. Of course...it's also a ~3h bus ride with the little ones. So there's that.

I hear ya sunquest76! These guys just don't seem to have shuttle transportation down yet. I chose to sail out of Houston because I could get some cheap direct flight tickets. Little did I know I'd be making up for it in cab fare :eek:

Hey everyone,

Suffering some of the consequences of late surprise trip planning...

We're headed on a cruise on the NCL Jewel on October 18 out of the Bayport Cruise Terminal. Little did I realize what an impact sailing from a new-ish port would be. So few affordable transportation options!

Talking directly with Norwegian, their shuttle service is $45pp/one way. That's painful. And of course the hotel they partner with (hotel + shuttle) is already sold out for the night prior.

I looked at one way car rental, but the nearest location that accepts one way is a Hertz or Budget 20+ minutes away! So then you're talking car rental + taxi to the port.

At this point, I'm looking for ideas. I'd prefer avoid the $100 taxi fare, or $90 Norwegian shuttle if I can avoid it.

Any recommendations you have would be appreciated. Thanks!
