Taxi from MSY to Port

[ctyhrn]

I looked up a taxi finder and it said it would cost about $20 one way, where the Carnival transfer is $24 per person does that seem right to anyone? My husband and I are going straight from the airport to the port and toegether it would be cheaper to take a taxi. I would think the Carnival trasnfer would be about the same price. Anyone had experiance with this?

Cab is $33 for two persons.

 

It costs more, but is a lot quicker.

If it's $33 for 2 ppl in a taxi than that would be cheaper than 48 for two people on the shuttle, right? Is there a benefit of spending more for a shuttle than the taxi?

As far as I'm concerned: No benefit to the shuttle. With the shuttle, you have to wait until they fill the van or the bus (if it's a cruise ship transfer). With the taxi, you get your bags and go.

 

Also, if you use one of the airport shuttle services, you'll probably find you're stopping at several hotels (for other customers in the van) on the way to the pier.
