cruise.love Posted April 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I have never taken a cruise out of Mobile. What is the earliest flight time you recommend taking after disembarking in Mobile without stressing? How are the customs there? How is it taking a taxi to the airport? I have taken taxis at Ft Lauderdale after cruises and it was always quick with plenty to pick up cruisers. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorncroft Posted April 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Wherever it is that you want to fly to from Mobile, I'm not certain that you can get there from there. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alatraveler1 Posted May 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Taxi can be less than $40 + tip for up to six passengers (can reserve in advance and I would recommend it, do web search for companies) to go the approximately 19 miles from port to airport. Time should be 45 minutes or so. Debarkation varies, but using a porter definitely saves time here. I will plan at least two hours in addition to airline check-in time just to be on the safe side. At at little over an hour and $152 you can reach Pensacola airport and fares might be lower enough to make it worth your while. If you have the time, the sugar white sand beaches of Gulf Shores, historic Grand Hotel on Mobile Bay in Point Clear or history, museums, clubs and dining of downtown make staying an extra day in the area worth it. For downtown hotels, I can recommend a couple, pm if interested.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise.love Posted May 3, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Thank you so much for your help, it is very nice of you. There is no line-up of taxis at Port of Mobile? I am wondering how to reserve a taxi since I do not know at what time I will be through customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They run airport shuttles in Mobile and Pensacola, and also own Yellow Cab in Mobile. Give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeachLoverstoo Posted August 5, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I How are the customs there? Got off Fantasy Thursday and customs officials forgot to show up. Only two for all those passengers. No more customs forms handed out the night before. While our cruise was lovely, we won't be sailing out of Mobile again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeachLoverstoo Posted August 6, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Sorry you had a bad experience! Thanks for sharing.Were there taxis waiting at the port? Don't remember seeing any taxis; just a lot of hotel shuttle vans. I am sure there must have been an airport shuttle or two BUT I really did not pay attention as we were just trying to get to our car and on the road.
