dkjretired Posted June 5, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Just a bit of a warning about the transfers. You will not be able to go when you want and you may be going all over the city to pick up other people. Most experienced cruisers in FLL take a cab, it is only about $15.00 and you go when you want. It is a ten minute ride.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiangel Posted June 5, 2012 #5 Share Posted June 5, 2012 We booked through a ta and as we are coming in from the uk on our first ever cruise it was easier for us to get them included. We get picked up at noon per cruise an am sure with the jet lag that will be welcome and post cruise we are straight to airport anyway for a noon flight to new York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted June 5, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 5, 2012 You can always arrange for pre/post hotel stays and transfers on your own. And, you will save money. For example, in Barcelona, Celebrity wanted over $400pp for one night and transfers for a hotel. I booked the same hotel for $200 for 2 and a taxi cost me about $25.

Louiangel Posted June 5, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 5, 2012 The breakdown we recieved was quite reasonable and although slightly more expensive (but not by much) it save a lot of stress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzy Smith Posted June 5, 2012 #8 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Celebrity UK usually offer a complete package which includes flights, hotels and transfers in the cruise price. We have always found the total price for the package reasonable and like the convenience of having everything organised for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texmex.ferr Posted June 5, 2012 #9 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Our cruise is March 2013, and our flights etc have just recently been allocated, it says on X's website that we will also be staying in the Hilton FLL Marina hotel the night before the cruise, our flight doesn't land at Miami until 7.30 in the evening, so by the time we get through security etc and transfer to the hotel, I expect it will be getting quite late. Haven't managed to find out what happens on our return flight cos our return flight doesn't leave until after 6.00 in the evening, but we've time yet to find that answer.

Texmex If your flight is after 6 p.m., Celebrity provide a day room at a hotel and a transfer to the airport. We usually just relax by the pool, have a late lunch and then get showered and dressed for the return flight. It's a nice leisurely end to the holiday. Alternatively there are normally excursions available for purchase which will drop you off at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Arizona Posted June 5, 2012 #11 Share Posted June 5, 2012 We have stayed at the Hilton Marina and thought it very nice. We will be staying with them again in March. We have Hilton Honors frequent guest points and like to use them at this hotel before a cruise. You can see the cruise ships in the morning from the property. Some rooms have a view of the cruise ships, others have views of the small boat Marina. We arrived too late for a real meal so we just had a drink and a snack at the pool bar. It was nice. Nice lobby, nice pool area, comfortable rooms. You can take a virtual tour on their website: http://www.fortlauderdalemarinahotel.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holidaylover10 Posted June 5, 2012 #12 Share Posted June 5, 2012 We came back from a Celebrity Caribbean Crusie last month, We stayed at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina and really enjoyed it. There is a nice pool bar that serves tasty food and it has a very relaxing atmosphere. Next morning was a bit manic with so many people waiting for Celebrity transfers to the ship, You had to go to a desk situated in reception and get a colour coded card to tell you which coach number you would be on. On our return from cruise we had a room at the Sheraton Miami airport and that was also a nice hotel. Our flight was at 6.15pm but nobody told us what time we would be picked up for the airport so had to ring the transfer people to confirm. It was so much easier letting Celebrity sort the whole package especially when you are travelling so far from home. When i booked i only paid £660pp for the return flights to Miami the transfers and both hotels i would have struggled to match that price doing it myself.

scumbers Posted June 5, 2012 Author #13 Share Posted June 5, 2012 hi holiday lover wat did time did celebrity pick u up from sheraton to take u to the airport? was it stress free cause we have all airports and transfers and have been given the sheraton as a day room and our flight is about 730pm i think thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holidaylover10 Posted June 7, 2012 #14 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi Scumbers, We were told by the transfer people that it is always 3 hours before your flight so about 4.30pm for you i guess. It was quite straight forward you just meet the coach at the hotel entrance at allocated time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
