We used an UBER driver and it was ~$110 - $125 for the 1.5 hour trip to the port. Just remember to have the port address handy in case you need to get specific directions as it is an industrial port.

@sightseewithjg6828 thank you! And you feel safe taking Uber? Sorry for so many question .

Santiago was the safest place of all we were in when in South America. The Uber was fine - the address to the port is the most important thing to give the driver so that he can load it into the GPS map. The driver will most likely not speak English (your hotel doorman can help there as well) and will use a translation app on his phone to communicate with you. Ubers can be tracked by license number and their app, so there is a safety net there. Always use your best judgement. If you don't feel comfortable using the Uber service, use the ship's transport (I think it was $88/person) to get to the ship - a couple on the boat used it and really liked the service and drive to San Antonio. Hope this help.

You're welcome!

Wow, thanks!

Thanks much for the additional information!

You're most welcome - we really liked the suite!

Thanks so much - we really loved the tour!

She's actually right although the 165 road sign in her video should be an interstate sign and not a state highway sign. Coming south on I-65, you should take the interstate spur I-165 to downtown. If you don't and continue south on I-65 you will end up at the junction with I-10 and will be about 10 miles west of downtown and the terminal.

Yes, there are at least 2 levels that are covered parking and then 1 rooftop parking level in the garage that is adjacent to the cruise terminal. There is also a ground level parking lot available as well. Parking at the cruise terminal was very convenient.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with folks since we did not use a hotel and park option! Glad you had an improved debarkation experience as well!

Hello, we are taking the Spirit at the end of December to January (6 days to the Bahamas)...How was the cruise?

@@jenniferjjwaits206 The cruise was very nice - Nassau is always fun as there is much to do. Bimini has beautiful waters for a beach day - but the wait is long for the tram and it is a long walk to town. Lots of fun activities on board - good music (I liked the electric violins), shows are good, cruise director Erin is fun and not many kids. I enjoyed the sea days and the cruisers seemed to be a good group of party-ers. All in all, a good break. Oh, and the food was better than I expected - better portions and lots of options.

Thanks so much for the feedback! It was a lovely cruise and our first time driving, so I thought it might be helpful for others considering to sail out of Mobile!

Glad it was helpful!
