[quote crazymama]Thanks for the great input! It really helps to have a grasp of those distances. One thing that I still don't get is that if you book a shuttle (such as Primetime) how do you know when to have them pick you up at the dock to leave since you aren't sure exactly what time you'll be off the boat? Do you phone them when you are off or something? Wow, I am really green at this cruising stuff! For some reason the ground transportation piece has me the most stressed out! HAHA! D It is great to have you guys out there who have done this before! Thanks again!

Well, unfortunately I have never done a shuttle, so I cannot answer your question. When we arrive back in Los Angeles (4 times), I just go to my car. Twice in Florida I made arrangements for a rental car. Once I took a ship tour upon arrival in Miami and once I took a taxi back to the airport. In Vancouver I took a bus provided by the ship to the airport. My next cruise, in Puerto Rico, I'm going to take a taxi. So, I have no experience with shuttles.
