Boston: Black Falcon Terminal to Hilton at Logan by taxi or ship transfer?

Would appreciate someone giving me an idea on what it will cost for one person to go from Black Falcon Terminal (at the end of a Carnival cruise) to the Hilton at the airport. I know the Hilton is "at" the airport, but not sure what that means. If I sign up for the cruise ship's transfer it will take me to the airport. A taxi would take me directly to the Hilton. The cruise transfer is $23. I'm thinking a taxi might be around the same cost. Thanks. Diane

The Logan Hilton is right in the airport with walkways from Terminal A (Delta) and Terminal E (International). If you have a lot of luggage a taxi might be better as the walk is an escalator up and a good walk, elevator down, once in the hotel, an escalator to the ground floor of the Hilton. I agree the cost maybe similar but have never taken a taxi between those 2 points. We stay at the Hilton often when we have an early morning flight, nice hotel.

A taxi should cost approximately the amount of the cruiseline transfer. After exiting the ship you will find a line of taxis waiting to take whoever wherever. I would just take a taxi - although Hilton is right at the airport and a stop on the free airport loop bus, after a cruise, why stress over possibly a few dollars difference - just get where you want to go.

Yes, I think a taxi is the way to go. Thanks.
