Is taxi or shuttle the best way to get to Miami port from airport

[wildshooter]

We fly into Miami Thursday AM around 10am for our cruise on Imagination. Is it cheaper and faster to take a cab to the port from the airport? Is there a shuttle service and if so where do you find it?

Use a taxi - $21 flat fee + tip (for the taxi NOT per person).

The taxi will be faster, plus you won't have to wait for the shuttle to fill up before it leaves.

I figured taxi was the way to go, but wanted to confirm. What do we do with our luggage once we get there? Is there a place to drop off our bags or do we carry them on? We've only cruised once before with a group and they handled everything. This is the 1st time on our own.

There will be porters outside the terminal that will take your bags, just make sure you have your Carnival tags with your cabin# on them. If you don't get tags before you sail the porters will give you some. Most people tip them a $1 or $2 per bag. You can also check your carry-on bags or bring them with you on the ship; they just have to fit through a standard airport size scanner.
