How do I get from the airport to the cruise port?
Getting from the airport to the pier is one of those travel decisions with no single right answer, which is annoying but also means you have options. Royal Caribbean sells shuttle transfers at most departure ports if you want the cruise line running the handoff. Outside that, most ports come with a full menu of alternatives: hotel shuttles if you stayed overnight, taxis, Uber and Lyft, private car services, public transportation at certain ports, and local transportation companies that specialize in cruise traffic. The right pick depends on your budget, how many people and suitcases you are herding, and whether you flew in that morning or spent the night nearby. Compare a few choices before you sail so embarkation morning is about boarding, not haggling with a confused rideshare driver who cannot find Terminal B.
