arpster Posted September 17, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2011 cost approx $100 journey approx 45mins/1hr We travelled from Ft Lauderdale Hilton Marina - to MIA - using Supershuttle....... $64 total for 2 people...usually a shared van but we were the only passengers ....bit of a white knuckle ride with a mad driver (took less than 30 mins!) but suited us fine.....recommended http://www.supershuttle.com/en/MIAAi...ttleMiami.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeBeGone Posted September 17, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Taxis are too expensive. Use Supershuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pia1913 Posted September 18, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Or catch the free bus at miami airport to the tri-rail train $3.75 to ft.laud. cab to ft.laud. hotel. We stayed at fairfield inn across the street from the station in ft.laud. Easy to walk to. Next morn. called a cab to port. $16.00 for two. Forget about the train. Ridiculous for people with luggage. Perhaps you can do it, but most cannot. To the OP: A taxi should run in the vicinity of $80. Super Shuttle is the better and less expensive option.

caryh Posted September 18, 2011 #6 Share Posted September 18, 2011 We've rented a car for about $65 (each way), pre and post cruise. Picking up at Miami and dropping off at FLL, then the other way around post cruise. Use Costco or Entertainment card for best rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw64 Posted September 18, 2011 #7 Share Posted September 18, 2011 If you can handle your luggage. Go the Tri-rail route. Most hotels will pick you up, at the tri-rail, or go to the airport in Fort lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
