Ft. Lauderdale

Rent a car, bags go in the trunk, and then go where you want: beach, Hollywood boardwalk, South Beach for lunch and people watching, shopping, movie, etc.

We leave in less than 2 weeks. Our return flight is 8pm out of FLL as well. I think this is what we are going to do as well. With Thrifty you can rent at the port and then return it at the airport right?

1. As noted in earlier posts, rent a car for the day and that gives you more flexibility for 'on your own' touring and you can leave your luggage in the trunk. Touring ideas can be found at Fort Lauderdale's tourism website: www.sunny.org
   
2. I bet Oasis has a program to transfer your luggage (for a fee) to the airport but if your airline does not participate in the program, consider storing your luggage at Bags to Go at the airport (www.bagstogo.net).
   
3. If your disembarkation day is a Saturday or Sunday, the Sun Trolley operates out of the airport with a free Sun Trolley route from the airport to the visitors center. Check out details (including pick up stops) at http://www.broward.org/Airport/Trans...unTrolley.aspx. According to the website, at the visitors center you can purchase Fort Lauderdale Excursion passes. "The pass includes admission to museums and historic properties, discounts at restaurants and shops, and all-day passage on the free Sun Trolley."

The magic of copying and pasting :D. Hope you have a wonderful cruise and enjoy your day in Fort Lauderdale. It's such a fun city that we decided to buy a condo after our first cruise out of FLL in January 2010. We retired this past winter and spend 7 months a year in Pompano Beach (just north of Fort Lauderdale).
