luv2beachkansascity Posted July 24, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2011 What is the best way to get from the Ft. Lauderdale airport to the cruise ship terminal? We are on our first cruise in November on Carnival Freedom. Does Carnival have a shuttle service or is it cheaper to take a taxi or other means of transportation. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

firefly333 Posted July 24, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2011 taxi, its only about $10 or $12 at most plus tip. transfers thru the cruiseship are $10 per person. Its very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanAllyn Posted July 24, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Definitely, taxi. It is more like $15 plus tip. But with cruise line transfers, you generally have to wait for the bus and it makes several stops at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted July 24, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The cruise lines tend to charge $17 - $19 per person for their transfers -- and you have to wait for the bus to fill up. Same thing at the end of the cruise. So take a taxi -- both ways. There are lots of taxis at the airport and the cruise terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCI_FADM_76 Posted July 24, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'll chime in and say that a Taxi is the way to go as well. Cheaper and no waiting around - unlike the transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Girl Forever Posted July 26, 2011 #11 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Transfers are per person. Taxi can take up to three people for the same price. Once accually 4 of us piled in the taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
