FLL Cruiseport to MIA Airport transportation options?

[John73]

All my previous cruises have been flying in to and departing from FLL, but due to saving time and airfare differences I'm considering departing from MIA.

 

I'm looking at doing a Celebrity cruise on Solstice in December. In looking at return flights I can get home to Seattle about 5 hours earlier if I take a noon flight out of MIA as opposed to a 5PM flight out of FLL. (The noon FLL flight is over $300 more than the 5PM) Based on my previous cruise experience I'd feel pretty confident about a noon flight out of FLL via taxi from the cruiseport. But what are my transportation options to get to MIA airport? I figure taxi is going to be ridiculously priced. Are there some shared shuttle options? Should I just have my TA book me a transfer through Celebrity for the port to MIA?

 

Thanks in advance! Appreciate the help here.

Taxi or car service (try Larry's Limos) will be between $85-100. :eek: A rental car is your cheapest option, but you may not have the time. :( Supershuttle will make the trip for about $40 per person, but time would again be my concern - it is a 45+ minute or so drive once you are loaded up and rolling.

 

You might look into cruiseline transfers - this is one case where they might be your best option. Good luck! :)

Celebrity charges $29 per person for POM to FLL.
