brunello22 Posted January 24, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The port is about 10 minutes from the airport, so it should cost you no more than $15 by taxi. But, if you need to stop at Publix, CVS or Walgreens, just ask the taxi driver to take you to the closest ones located along on the 17th Street Causeway (10 minutes south of the airport, but still close to the port). The taxi will wait while you shop, but the meter will keep running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual cab fare is about $12 and there is nothing to buy anything in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and that is why I mentioned that if they stop on the way, the meter will keep running .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would still be taking the long way around the barn to go north on Federal Highway, east on 17th to the northern port entrance then south to the ship rather than taking Eller Drive straight from the airport to the ship. The OP probably doesn't want to blow an extra $20-$25 on cab fare just to pick up a few dollars of toiletries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends entirely on what ship and what terminal it's leaving from. When you board a Princess ship at Terminal 2 (the northermost terminal), they actually recommend using the north entrance (Eisenhower off 17th) instead of Eller Drive.

They don't have to pay the extra cab fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted January 28, 2011 #9 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The fare will also depend upon how far they are backed up at the security check...$15 to $20 is a safe range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
