We were on the Eclipse also last May, and "abysmal" is not a strong enough word to describe the chaos.  We prebooked a taxi, but the port security was stopping the taxis.  Never saw our taxi.  We managed to hitch a ride with a small group in a van.  We only had to get to a hotel.  This year when we arrive on May 6, we will be catching a flight at Dublin Airport at 11:15 am, which is too early for Celebrity's airport transfer.  We're trying to find a shuttle/transfer, but the websites do not show Dublin cruise port as an option.  Any suggestions?  

Book the Celebrity Transfer on board.I did that last year and my flight was 11:00 am

The big issue last May was that it was the first time for a cruise to disembark in Dublin. It was a mess!!  Tents were used for the new cruisers arriving. Taxis were stopped at the port gates when someone decided that they were not allowed into the area. Suddenly the pick ups ended for a while due to this. The lines built and so did tempers. Taxis came that were prebooked but it seems that some passengers could not be found. Those taxies were not allowed to take a substitute passenger. The drivers spent a long time walking around yelling the names of people who were not to be found and being bribed by frustrated people who were waiting in line.
