ahutchins9 Posted March 25, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I was wondering what would be the cheapest wat to get back and forth from the airport to the cruise terminal in Tampa. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCC retired Posted March 25, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2011 It's about a 7 mile ride . A taxi would be a economical choice .:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner15km Posted March 25, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I could run it in less than 55 minutes but you should take a cab for around $25.00. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnelson99 Posted April 22, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2011 If you stay at the http://www.tahitianinn.com/ in Tampa, they will pick you up for free from TPA and they will also transport you to and from the hotel to the port for free with no additional parking. This is where my family will be staying for our cruise in September. Hope that helps out. See your from NC, we are from up near Asheville.

Krazy Kruizers Posted April 22, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 22, 2011 when we were in tampa october 2010 - the taxi cabs had a flat rate of $25 to go from the airport to the pier and vice versa don't know if the price will go up - due to rising prices of gasoline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted April 23, 2011 #6 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Unless you are a single person needing transportation ... taxi. A single could do a shared ride for about $15 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry2457 Posted April 23, 2011 #7 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Check with Carnival as they often have a shuttle bus that would take you there. I know in Orlando, Ft Lauderdale, and Miami if you fly in the same day the cruise leaves, Carnival offers a round trip shuttle from the airport to the terminal and would assume they do the same in Tampa. The only time I cruised from there, we drove in from Orlando and stayed downtown so a cab ride was about $8-$10 and some of the hotels actually had free shuttles. The downtown area is close to the port terminal but at least if you decide to take a taxi, you don't have to wait around, just grab your bags and go. The shared shuttle would take a bit more time as they have to fill it before they leave but it probably be cheaper than a taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sped01 Posted May 7, 2011 #8 Share Posted May 7, 2011 There are a few hotels in the area providing roundtrip shuttle for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
