babaloo41 Posted September 28, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2005 My family and I (party of 4) are sailing on Carnival Liberty on 11/20. Any advice on taxi versus transfer? I know the transfer is $20 rt pp. Is cab fare any cheaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted September 28, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2005 a cab will cost 20 bucks for the whole cab-- so if you have more then one person-- its cheaper by cabi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted September 28, 2005 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I would go by cab from Ft Lauderdale airport to Port Everglades. Don't worry...it will cost you no where near $20 for the ride!!!! Usually it's less then $12. With the cab, you get in it and go. With the transfers you wait till the bus fills. Cabs not only more economical, its faster too. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxmichelle Posted September 29, 2005 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I completely agree with Bequia. It's so much easier to take a taxi. With the bus transfers, you have to wait until the bus is full, which could take hours sometimes, as people arrive at different times. We did this once (on our first cruise), but never again.

luvscruzs Posted September 29, 2005 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Even for cruise line assigned hotels with transfers, we always opt to take a taxi rather than the bus transfer. The cost is really minimal and saves a lot of time and aggravation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruisers Posted September 29, 2005 #6 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Port Everglades is right next to the Fort Lauderdale Airport. Take a taxi. For those of you renting cars prior to or after the cruise, Hertz runs a shuttle to the Port. Other agencies may also run shuttles - check with them.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmom Posted September 30, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Definately get a taxi. I'm assuming you are flying into FLL and the ship will be at the port nearby, Port Everglades. Taxi fare for 5 of us this Aug. from FLL to the port was $12 plus tip and $9.50 plus tip from port to airport. Lots of taxis both at the airport and at the port.
