Moments ago, I saw an interesting article on six things to do to save money on cruises.
One especially caught my attention. It was not to take a cruise line transportation shuttle from the airport (in our case, Miami Airport) to the port. Last summer, a friend and I paid $50 each for transportation to the port from the airport. They never showed up despite us making several phone calls and leaving messages. I instead called Uber and they got us to the the port for about $25. This was for the cruise to the Bahamas with Norwegian Cruise Line.
