InDreams2 Posted October 8, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I am looking at a cruise out of Ft Lauderdale but the flights times aren't great. We are flying out of Alberta so wondering how it would be to fly into Miami and then shuttle to Ft Lauderdale. If anyone has experience with this the time it takes to get to ft lauderdale and which company you have used would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twickenham Posted October 8, 2010 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2010 It's frequently done. You could also consider renting a car. Just make sure to allow yourselves extra time on either end for the transfer (it's about a 45-minute drive, more if traffic is heavy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying it's only a 45 minute drive from Miami airport to ft lauderdale. If I rent a car is there a drop off charge for one way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I rent a car is there a drop off charge for one way Typically no, but you'll need to poll different agencies. There are numerous shuttle services, and limos. A cab will be around $80-$90. It just depends on what your preference is. Based upon when you arrive, traffic can be a deciding factor, in either direction. If you're arriving at rush hour, morning or eveing, do a shuttle. If you're steely nerved, drive in traffic, just get a GPS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanAllyn Posted October 8, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 8, 2010 In any case, you should fly in the day before your cruise. There are many reasonable places to stay near the port (as well as some luxury ones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
