Using Carnival transportation to port

[mrpayroll]

We have never used carnival transportation for airport to port before. Upcoming cruise is from San Juan. Does the bus wait to be full before leaving from airport to port, or is it on a schedule like every half hour or so ? Would taking a taxi be quicker? Thanks....:)

My experience has been they wait until they are full - they have a list of people they are expecting and don't go until they have all on the list.

Taxis are lined up as you exit the terminal. The dispatcher asks where you are going, and tells the driver, and off you go. Little, if any wait.

Actually in San Juan the taxi is cheaper than Carnival transportation anyway.

As mentioned by others, you should expect the shuttle to leave when it's full. There's no set schedule. A taxi would almost certainly be quicker.

For two or more people, yes. For one, no.

Anytime we have had transfers with Carnival, we have waited a very long time. They do not like you to get to the Dock to early. We no longer use Carnival transfers.

luvs2cruz so you take a taxi instead and there are no problems? we always took the shuttle.

I have used both. Carnival transfer and private companies. Quite frankly, I prefer using the Carnival transfer. I pay for the service, they know what time and what airline I'm on. I just go to bag claim and there they are. Private companies, I'm calling them or they are calling me, where is the van, where do I go.....I feel that I'm very well taken care of when I book Carnival transfers.

Just grab a cab. They are easy and much more comfortable.

I've only used Carnival transfers in Miami, but it went very smoothly and was less expensive for two people. We waited maybe 10 minutes to get into the shuttle after getting our S&S cards at baggage claim. I'm using Carnival transfers again in a few months in Miami.
