biomedbob Posted February 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Check some earlier posts but haven't seen the current, most economical way from the airport to the ship. It seems that lyft isn's allowed. Taxis at airport? Shuttle? Any recent hints would be appreiciated. (Our most recent experience was in Baltimore where our taxi driver seemed not to understand English, drove past a clearly marked port exit and took us for a tour of the inner harbor, over our express concerns that he missed the exit. The fare was about $15.00 more than we are used to paying). :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biomedbob Posted February 28, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'm sorry, but the new format has thrown me off. New Orleans airport to New Orleans Port. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sitzmark Posted February 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'm sorry, but the new format has thrown me off. New Orleans airport to New Orleans Port. Thanks! might depend how many people and how much luggage you have. Taxi rates that I've found are $33 for 1 or 2 people and $14 per person for 3 or more. You could check with Uber also, an UberXL is $50 for that trip I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSuitepea Posted February 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Carnival also offers their shuttle service for $23.50pp. We've never used it, but will be from New Orleans Airport on our next cruise due to peace of mind and a flight arriving around noon. I've heard stories of folks waiting for it to fill up before they leave, and I've heard stories of it being fast. A friend used it in Miami and actually beat us to the port once.

maldenmusic Posted February 28, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2017 We cruised from NOLA on the Dream in December and the ship departed late. The reason was that a flight was delayed due to the weather and they held the ship because passengers had the CCL shuttle booked from the airport.

That's exactly why I booked CCL shuttle for our upcoming trip. Glad to know that was done! I don't mind waiting on a shuttle to load as long as we make it to the ship!

A coworker today was flying to another work location and his first flight was delayed by an hour which resulted in him missing his second flight, they put him on another flight but that has resulted in a 6 hour delay. If this was to arrive in port the day of departure I suspect he'd miss the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
