April-in-NC Posted October 14, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Is there a shuttle from the airport to the ship? If not - about how much is the taxi ride? If so, how often does it run? If I remember a taxi is a flat rate of $33 (for 1-2 people). If you have more than 3 people it is $13 per person. I don't remember a shuttle, but most airports have a shared shuttle program that you can use for a per person charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea_u_onboard Posted October 20, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Carnival always offers a shuttle service but for what you are paying you are better off grabbing a cab. Carnival charges $23 each way per person. Cab is cheaper (as someone stated $13 pp - with a $33 minimum). You will get to the port quicker and be able to off load your luggage quicker. With Carnival you have to wait until the shuttle l is full before you can leave and then you have to fight the masses to get off the ship and find your luggage so you can check it.

veann Posted October 21, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I always take a taxi to the pier in New Orleans, rather than the shuttle or the cruise line transportion. I don't like waiting until the bus or shuttle is full before leaving the airport. With the shuttle, you could be with other people who are going to a hotel, and they will drop them off first. I was in New Orleans in May and the taxi from airport to Holiday Inn French Quarter where I always stay before leaving on a cruise (or any time I'm down there!) was $25 for 2 people not including tax. The taxi from hotel to pier was $14 plus tip (around $7 per person). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
