We just booked a Carnival tour which included the cigar factory as well as Rum and Chocolate factories for our cruise in 2 weeks.  Check out the positive reviews on their web site.  I don't like that it's a very long day (5 hours leaving at 8 AM).   We were in Amber Cove last October and it was wonderful but wanted to check out some Dominican culture.  If anyone has done this tour, did you like it and was there time to hang out at the pool area?

Thoughts on the cigar factory tour?

Or you could always book private transportation with cruise control, we have done it twice now with them and the communication was great both times.

Definitely a good option. I was hoping to save a little $ with the shared option, but sometimes peace of mind is worth the extra. 

Thank you, I will check that.

Trying to decide on transportation to MCO from Port Canaveral post Carnival Mardi Gras with a 1:30pm flight. As far as timing, would it be safe to use a shared shuttle service such as Cruise Control (I believe their max capacity is 10-12 people per van) to make the flight or would you take an Uber/Lyft? My concern is being delayed waiting for other passengers or stops at other Canaveral terminals to pick up passengers. 
Last I cruised out of Canaveral was pre-Covid and I used a bus shuttle service to MCO, which I don’t care to use again. 
 

TIA!
