chrob Posted April 19, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2005 How far is it from the Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport to the cruise docks? How much would it be in a taxi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanafan Posted April 19, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2005 We were just there in February. It is a beautiful hotel. We wanted a cab at 10:30 but I was told we could not go to the pier until noon. I said I would take my chances......the guy again told me I could not go until noon. I insisted he call me a cab and that I would be fine ( he kept saying the traffic would be so heavy it would cost 30-40 bucks for a cab.) We ended up getting picked up around 10:45 am or so drove straight to the pier and were in our cabin at 11:10. There was no traffic whatsoever. I think we were the only ones getting dropped off when our cab pulled up. It think it cost around 10 bucks......give or take a couple with tip. They will try to make you take their shuttle----you still pay for it, but for some reason they really push their noon shuttle. If you do take a cab, be sure to tell them the night before when you want your pick up......and again in the morning. Many of the cabs are picking up at the port and running to the airport. Be sure to get one lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrob Posted April 19, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Thanks for that info. We definately want to go early as we want to try for an uograde if possible. Even if we don't upgrade, I'd rather get on the ship as early as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudbmw Posted April 20, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I have stayed there twice prior to cruises and its a nice hotel. Decent buffet but its about $15. They do push their shuttle but but you can insist on a cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chotton Posted April 20, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Never book directly with Sheraton. I have stayed there 3 times prior to cruises and have always paid $50 through priceline. Just pick 3 star near FLL airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
