Any advantages of booking RC transfers from MIA to Port?

[kenandlaura06]

Our flight was just cancelled (Delta :( ) and now we are flying into Miami (in at 9:13 a.m. for a 5:00 ship departure--hope it works out!!!)...is it worth it to book the cruise transfers or should we just get a cab from the airport to the port?

The cab ride is $24 each way, if that helps. I never use transfers, so I'm sorry I can't help with that. Have a great cruise.

Since you are supposed to be in at 9:13 am, you shouldn't have a problem getting to the ship via cab or shuttle. I don't know what the charge is for the RCCL transfer, but the only reason I would do that is if my plane were going to be close to sail time. You don't say where you are flying from, but you probably have the 1st flight of the day?? so unless weather is a factor, you should arrive on time. What's with all the cancellations and schedule changes? We fly 3-4 times a year and have never been switched around like this! Our flight was changed to the point where I cancelled and re-booked out of a different city! It's most aggravating!

Thanks! You are telling me about these cancellations! We are flying from Boston to Miami, directly, first flight of the day, so we are hoping that is in our favor. We first booked an 8:55 on Delta the night before from Boston to Ft. Lauderdale, and then were bumped to a 7:55 Boston to Ft. Lauderdale, and then bumped to a 12:35---which was smack dab in the middle of our wedding reception. Delta had nothing that would work well for us, so they gave us back our money and I booked this new flight with American...I hope it works! The options have run out at this point.
