Rare cgolf1 Posted December 4, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2016 When we have cruised out of Miami we have used SAS to get us back to Ft Lauderdale airport. Now that we are going out of Port Everglades, what is our best option, still SAS or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we are going out of Port Everglades, what is our best option, still SAS or something else? Taxi is best, around $15 total, not per person.

Rare island lady Posted December 4, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 4, 2016 You can actually see the airport from the deck of the ship. It's that close. Agree with the others...taxi is the best. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Good for "fly to" cruisers....but sigh....the traffic is the pits for "drive to" cruisers like me. If I was flying in, I would love that short distance from airport to ship also. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 4, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Also beware of a "taxi" charging per person rates. This seems to be a recurring theme at Port Everglades, it happened to us several times. We ask for a taxi, someone drives up, I ask how much to the airport, they say some number per person. If this happens, walk away and find the real taxi line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All relaxed and ready to cruise! :) Me....I am nail biter through the horrible traffic down through West Palm into Ft. Lauderdale.

If this happens, walk away and find the real taxi line. We took a taxi from there this morning. Driver puts the meter on then says It's gonna be $100 JOKINGLY AND THEN SAYS NO IT'S $20. The meter read either $12.90 or $13.90, can't remember. Gave the guy a $20 and he seemed quite pertrurbed. lol BTW we were off Allure and at the gate at our gate at 7:20am for our 9:40am flight. Also used the mobile app at customs. Still wanted to see our passports and collected the paper version of the customs document too but said if you didn't have it, it wasn't a big deal.
