djo53 Posted November 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2018 We are sailing on Celebrity Equinox out of Miami next Jan/Feb. We are in two minds whether, on disembarkation, we should pre book our taxi transfers to Miami airport or simply pick up a cab from the rank at the cruise port. We are inclined to the latter as we have no time constraints (flight home is at 18.00) and to pre book would cost about $86, which seems expensive. Can anyone please offer advice? Particularly; are cabs for hire plentiful at the cruise port?; approximately how much should I expect to pay (for two adults plus luggage)?; are there any cab types/companies I should avoid? All and any advice welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted November 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2018 There are tons and tons of Ubers, taxis and shuttles (we paid $10pp) on our July shuttle to the airport. Sooooo easy. You don't have to pre-arrange transportation at the Miami Port. PS: We loved, loved, loved the Equinox. Hope you love it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a scooter and therefore needed transportation that would accommodate it and our luggage. There were a whole bunch of large Mercedes shuttles (black) lined up with all the cabs. My husband asked how much to go to the airport and he said $10pp. It was an eight seater and we just had to wait about 10 minutes for 6 more people to hop on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted November 27, 2018 #6 Share Posted November 27, 2018 A taxi or Uber will cost you about $30 (including tip) for the entire cab. Not sure why anyone would want to book a private transfer for $86...which is akin to highway robbery unless you are being transferred in a Roll Royce Silver Shadow :).

Thanks cannot say I noticed of course I was not looking for them either I usually prebook a car service & share with others on the ship . no line up for the taxis & the cost is about the same Next time will look for the shuttle guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted November 28, 2018 #9 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Taxi or Uber/lyft is your cheapest, fastest option. If you do need HC accessible transportation, then I'd order it in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
