How to arrange travel from port back to a hotel...Miami


2preschoolers

Recommended Posts

Many hotels I've called said that they will drop off at the port of Miami but are not able to wait after a cruise to pick back up. So how do you get back to a hotel afterwards? Do you have to pre-arrange a shuttle service somehow or can you just grab a taxi when you get off the ship? ALSO - there will be 7 of us (5 adults, 2 kids) - are there any van-type taxi's or would we need to take 2 taxi's?? THANKS!

Cabs are generally quicker and more convenient than hotel shuttles, even when the latter are offered between the hotel and the port. With five adults, two kids and luggage, you are going to need two cabs even with mini-vans.

Taxis will run around $15 from port to downtown hotels, but depending on where in Miami you are staying the fares could go to $25 toward the airport.

"Many" hotels? I take it you've inquired about hotels by the airport then, yes? Downtown hotels to not shuttle to the POM. As stated, you're looking at at least $25.00 + tip for each cab and yes, you'll need two.
