Yes, it is pricey! The NCL excursion will cost us $1248, so if i can find a sprinter van to rent for a few hours that would be in the same ball-park price wise, would really like to not be part of the large bus load of people. When I google I find plenty of companies that arrange transportation from the pier to the airport, but haven't found anyone yet to book a van for a longer period of time. I appreciate everyone weighing in!!
