It was so convenient being able to walk to nearby restaurants, the sports bar, and even the supermarket. Getting to the port was also a breeze—just a quick five-minute Uber ride. I highly recommend this option over the $15 per-person shuttle. An Uber is not only faster and more convenient but also much cheaper. For example, a regular ride was around $11. Since we had five people plus luggage, we booked a Premier SUV, and it still only cost $18. We scheduled the ride in advance, and it worked out perfectly.
