Would it be easier to leave Miami at 12 noon and go to Fort Lauderdale at that time rather then in morning rush hour? Maybe we can just find something to do in Miami first then head to FLL

Provided you do get off the ship early, the drive to Fort Lauderdale from Miami on a Monday morning could take up to 1-1/2 - 2 hours. I am not exaggerating ... if there is an accident on I-95, whether it is the express lanes or the general purpose lanes, traffic could be a nightmare. I drive the daily commute south from Fort Lauderdale to Downtown Miami, in the opposite direction, and some days the traffic going north is pretty bad.

I am not certain if there is luggage storage at FLL (someone else can chime in here), so one option is to Uber to Las Olas, check your bags in at the Riverside Hotel for a few hours (actually, they are on the list for a day room), then go enjoy a leisurely brunch and browse the shops, before heading to the airport.

Our cruise ports in POM on 11/13 at 7a.m. We want to go to a hotel and enjoy beach/pool/food before our flight leaves FLL at 4 pm. We probably need to be at airport no later then 2-2:30 but we have a lot of time to kill once we get off the ship. I have read the threads but the ones I've looked up that people suggested don't appear to allow day passes or are sketchy such as the Rodeway :o. If I need to start calling around I will but I don't want to call every possible place without having some sort of idea if I'm on the right path or wasting my time on places that don't offer this.

Thanks in advance!

HI-

We are going to Nassau the second weekend in November on a RC cruise ship (Enchantment). I'm not loving any of the excursions they have to offer. Let me start with the fact that both my husband and I are going on this mini cruise to get away for a couple days (without kids). I just would really like to relax while I'm there and not feel like the whole day has escaped me. In addition to relaxing we like activities and adventures and water. He's a pale skinned guy so being in sun without any shade at all isn't an option.

That said we want to see things and not stay on the ship but also don't feel like we have to spend the whole time on the island making sure we get use out of the excursion we pick. For example I like the idea of seeing Atlantis (especially b/c I would love to take my kids there one day when we find the money) but spending almost $200 to ride a water slide a couple times and hang on the beach sounds a little pricey to me. Especially b/c I have heard its super expensive to eat and drink on the premises too. Anyways, I was wondering if someone can recommend somewhere we can go in a cab and have a good time and be able to relax on the beach/water/etc without breaking the bank. Thanks in Advance!

I see that this service is 15 pp. I’m looking to take the shuttle to POM from FLL on the same day we fly in to get on our cruise. Anyone see a con to doing this? Does he stop at a tok of hotels on the way down there after he picks us up from the airport? Thanks!

Hi all!

We are going on a weekend cruise out of Miami from 11/10-11/13. We fly in and out of Fort Lauderdale. I’m hoping to get some suggestions where my husband and I can hang out before our flight departs on 11/13 at 4 pm. Cruise ports at 7a.m. So we don’t want to hang out at the airport all morning. I figure we have to get to airport at 2:30 or so. Any suggestions to where we can hang out that may store our luggage for us if we grab lunch/hang on the beach, etc?
