Transfers - small shuttle or large bus?

[QTPieRye]

What type of vehicle does Carnival use for transfer services and approximately how many passengers does it hold? Does it vary by port? I am looking for information in San Juan. We have 20 people using transfer services on embarkation day and wondering if that's enough for the shuttle to head to the port. Thanks :)

It's a full size bus, so I'm guessing 50 passengers or so, so 20 will not be enough for them to head off to the airport. Sorry.

We bought an airport transfer (which also included a two or three hour city tour) from the cruise terminal in San Juan after a repositioning cruise. They used a regular parking style shuttle for the guests. I think those things hold 20-25 people. All the big luggage was transported in a separate vehicle.

 

That particular cruise was on RCI, but I'm certain Carnival will be similar since they all just subcontract through local transportation/tour companies.
