ThetaAddy Posted February 2, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2012 We are planning on taking a taxi from the Port of Tampa to the airport after we disembark. Are there usually taxis there waiting like at the airport or should we call ahead of time to have one waiting for us? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted February 2, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Several cabs just waiting for customers every time we have cruised from Tampa. Flat rate fare for the cab from port to TPA airport is $25+tip. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted March 1, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The last time we cruised from Tampa on Carnival they escorted those with early flights off the ship at 9:00. Our bags were waiting and there was almost no line at customs; we jumped into a cab for the 15 minute/$25+tip ride to TPA. We were checked in, cleared through TSA and and were happy to be sitting at our gate at just after 10:00 for an 11:45 flight. Spending your cruise worried about making an early flight is not my idea of fun :(; I'd look for something after 11:00 and preferably closer to noon to be safe - sometimes the fog will delay ship arrivals into Tampa, or there are delays coaused by customs/immigration. Give yourself some margin for error. :cool: Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
