snowlancer Posted January 18, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi everyone, I tried searching but it never seems to work properly for me. How does everyone get from MIA to the Cruise Terminal? I don't want to rent a car, and I've seen people say that there are taxis for ~$24 + tip, and some kind of shuttle. Do I need to call ahead for these services, or are they at the airport already, ready for hire? Also, getting back to MIA from the port, are there taxis at the port? or do I have to schedule something for then as well? Thanks in advance!

nasa-rm Posted January 18, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Since we stayed in Miami the night before we took a taxi from MIA to downtown. I think it was about $30 or so.You just walk out ot the curb and tell the person at the taxi stand where you want to go. We did this at 11PM and there were 5 or 6 cabs lined up ready to go. From the port back to MIA is easy. As you walk out the door to the area where the taxis & shuttles are just look for someone screaming "Shuttle to the airport - only $10 per person!!!". Before I could say maybe, the guy grabbed my bag and put us and the bags on the shuttle :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Nahoumi Posted January 18, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Since I booked my flights through the cruise line, a transfer from the airport to port was included. Taxis were available at the port for the return trip, but I used my transfer. Just boarded the busses, no fuss. Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pullbangdead Posted January 18, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Taxis are easily available, and are $24 per trip regardless of the number of people in the cab. The $24 fee is a flat rate that is set by law for all trips between the port and the airport, so don't let a cabbie gouge you by asking for more. But the cab is easy and convenient, and is often the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish1c Posted January 19, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 19, 2010 All AP buildings & cruise ships have magnets inside that attract taxis. ;) There are hundreds. No worries or advance registrations required. If you do chose to take the ship's shuttle service you do need to call ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Absolutely NO reason to prebook anything either directions. Cabs are plentiful and reasonable with set fares. There will be lines of them waiting on both ends of your cruise. Have fun!

snowlancer Posted January 19, 2010 Author #7 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Nice, Thanks everyone! It makes me feel a whole lot better that I don't have to worry about trying to search for a cab then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
