Once you’ve settled on your flight or pickup point, the next decision is which kind of ride to book: shared shuttle, or private van or SUV. Both get you to the cruise terminal — the right one depends on who you’re traveling with.
Traveling Solo or as a Couple
Shared shuttle is usually the better value here, at $40 per person (3-passenger minimum to run). You’ll be riding with other cruisers headed to the same terminals, with possible multiple pickups along the way, but you’ll save significantly over booking a private vehicle for one or two people.
Traveling as a Family of Three or Four
This is where the math gets interesting. A private SUV runs from $260, direct with no stops. Split four ways, that’s $65 per person — more than shared shuttle’s $40, but you get a direct ride, your own luggage space, and no waiting on other pickups. If your flight lands late or your group has a lot of bags, that difference is often worth it.
Traveling as a Group of 5–10
A private van is $170 flat, regardless of exactly how many of you there are up to capacity — which usually beats shared shuttle pricing per person once you’re past four or five travelers. It’s also the only way to guarantee your whole group rides together in one vehicle.
Traveling as a Larger Group (7–10)
If you’d rather book seats than a whole vehicle, our shared shuttle group rate is $350 flat for 7–10 passengers traveling together — worth comparing against a private van depending on your exact headcount and luggage.
