Those purchasing premiere Carnival Cruise packages will find that shuttle service accommodations have been included in the price. Cruise-only guests, however, can purchase transfers to and from the pier for an additional cost.
Carnival Cruise shuttle services employ large tour-style buses to take passengers to and from the airports and ship ports. These large buses can fill up quickly, and they head out when they are full. It is important for cruise passengers to be conscious of their airline's flight departure times when going to the airport. Before cruise passengers set out from port, they receive a number that corresponds to their flight time; early passengers receive a low number for first priority.
Carnival Cruise offers shuttle service at the following port locations: Baltimore, Barcelona, Charleston, Ft. Lauderdale, Galveston, Honolulu, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, Miami, Mobile, New Orleans, New York, Orlando, San Diego, San Juan, Seattle, Tampa and Vancouver.
For cruise-only passengers who must purchase shuttle service, the cost varies by location, but starts as low as $19.99 for a one-way trip, as of 2010. Passengers must reserve the service at least seven days prior to their departure.
