I want to cruise Posted June 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Can someone please share what would be the most cost effective mode of transportation for a family of 6 to get from Miami Airport to Miami Cruise Terminal on July 1(Sunday) and the reverse on the 8th of July. Thanks for any advice. Should we separate into 3 groups or 2 groups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Oceansaway17 Posted June 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 2, 2018 shuttle. I would not take Uber ever since they are not regulated. Super Shuttle will do a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_s_allen Posted June 2, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Taxi is easiest, and not too expensive. They will have lines of taxis already waiting at both airport and when you disembark the ship at the cruise terminal. Uber might be slightly cheaper and may be worthwhile going from airport to cruise terminal but coming back on embarkation day the port is so crazy with people coming and going I'd just take the taxi.

IrieBajan54 Posted June 2, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I have used Uber every time going from POM to MIA. Very cost effective and I would suggest breaking into 2 groups of 3. The wait time has been no more than about 4 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvh Posted June 3, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Uber, Uber, uber. By far the least expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted June 3, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Caution make sure whatever mode of transportation is selected it is able to handle all your luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted June 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Can someone please share what would be the most cost effective mode of transportation for a family of 6 to get from Miami Airport to Miami Cruise Terminal on July 1(Sunday) and the reverse on the 8th of July. Thanks for any advice. Should we separate into 3 groups or 2 groups? A single mini van cab will work. It is a flat fee of about $27. No need to break into groups. If for some reason you can't find a large enough cab Uber might be less expensive but watch out for surge pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted June 6, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Lyft will be cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visigoth Posted June 7, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Usually a shared van is the least expensive and the least comfortable. Uber and Lyft are almost always the best choices and you can check them both to see their fare, as well as select your vehicle and driver before they arrive. If you have a smart phone both are easy to use, efficient, inexpensive....and that is why the competition hates them. Both Uber and Lyft have some issues but they have never taken me to the wrong address on purpose, picked a longer route than necessary, changed the quoted fare during the trip, tried to add for luggage or additional riders. There is no fumbling to pay the fare, no trying to figure the tip, and no trying to get the driver to give you the correct change. I traveled for a living for nearly 40 years and I have been cheated by taxi drivers so many time that I couldn't even estimate the losses. I have been screwed by taxi drivers on my last three trips to countries that don't allow Uber or Lyft. If drivers try that with BS with Uber or Lyft you can simply back the charge off your Credit Card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Videophile Posted June 7, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Lyft or Uber, for sure. They'll be much nicer than a cab, and much less expensive than a Super Shuttle that will charge per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby0215 Posted June 7, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 7, 2018 shuttle. I would not take Uber ever since they are not regulated. Super Shuttle will do a good job. Nothing wrong with Uber or Lyft and vehicles usually much nicer and drivers usually nicer too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboatahoy Posted June 7, 2018 #12 Share Posted June 7, 2018 shuttle. I would not take Uber ever since they are not regulated. Super Shuttle will do a good job.An uninformed opinion. Uber works very well in South Florida. Used it many times and never an issue. Much easier than dealing with a shuttle.

cb at sea Posted June 7, 2018 #13 Share Posted June 7, 2018 You will need a van, if you take a taxi...a car cab will only take 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visigoth Posted June 7, 2018 #15 Share Posted June 7, 2018 If you order an Uber XL it will hold at least 6 passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
