michelle.zhang.90 Posted September 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2015 We have two kids and two adults, will arrive at noon at MIA. MSC Divina departure time is 7 PM. Anyone knows what's the best plan for us? Do we take a taxi to the port? Will they allow us to check in that early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parallax Posted September 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2015 By noon, if not earlier, they will start boarding the ship. No need to kill time. Once you board you can go grab a bite to eat, if the cabin is not ready. I would take a taxi. Since there are four, just make sure you get an SUV. The taxi fare to the port is a set amount ( I can't remember what it is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelle.zhang.90 Posted September 11, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thank you guys for the reply! Is it hard to get a taxi in MIA? DD is 4 and DS is 2, do not plan to carry car seats. Do I call taxi early to reserve it and get car seats?

I used shuttle buses from hotel or private transportation. Its more money but it's safer. Ask someone from Miami if taxi diver will take you with no seat.

alpal1993 Posted October 3, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I think you made the best choice. You would need car seats for a taxi,but not in a bus . Go figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
