On the Spirit a few weeks ago, my cabin was not ready and the cabin steward gave me a hard time because I wanted to put my luggage in the room. He said that only Suites are ready. So it all depend on the ship I suppose.
I just got off the Spirit last week. We took Lyft to go to the airport and cost us $25 I believe. Our friend got in a taxi and it was like $60. (She only found out once she got to the destination)
