BJAMINGIRL Posted August 14, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I haven't heard of any. Many of the airport hotels have free shuttles from the airport and then they will set you up with a shuttle the next day to the ship for 8 to 10 dollars per person. I prefer to take a taxi to the Holiday Inn Port of Miami (about $25) Stay there close to the action at bayside. Then have breakfast and take a taxi about 11:30 am to the pier (about $10). And the Holiday Inn is usually reasonable in price. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted August 15, 2007 #3 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Thanks in advance! Short answer, no. The hotels near the port enjoy such a high occupancy factor they have no incentive to offer the traveler free shuttles, free parking etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bccruiser2007 Posted August 15, 2007 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2007 We just booked on line the Days Inn Airport North for $89.00 (Jan 25th). They have 24 hour free shuttle from the airport. (We arrive at 12:30 am). and free shuttle to the pier. We can still cancel up to 6;00 pm on Jan 25th. (If we can find anything better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emdia43 Posted August 21, 2007 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I second the vote for Holiday Inn Port of Miami. You can just walk across the road to the Bayside Marketplace to eat,shop,browse around. We had a room that overlooked the port so we could see our ship come in! I think I paid $25 for taxi from the airport and then ?$8 to the pier in the morning.

clerky96 Posted August 21, 2007 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Few questions about these answers. 1. There will be 3 of us (adults). Will 3 people be able to get 3 large pieces of luggage and 3 carryons in a taxi? 3. I have read there are regular taxi's and van taxi's. Are they both the same price? 4. Is the taxi charge of $8 from the hotel to the port per person, or for all of us? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emdia43 Posted August 21, 2007 #8 Share Posted August 21, 2007 There were 3 of us in each taxi. Cost from airport to the hotel was $25. Cost from hotel to pier was $8. That's not per person. We all had one large suitcase each, and carryon bags, got in taxis without problem. We didn't use the van type so can't comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
