I live 10 minutes from the port and it took me 40 minutes just to get to the terminal. The longest delay will be security at the entrance. I would avoid the entrance at the end of I-595 and use State Road 84 instead. The construction & road issues at 595 are awful.:eek: Good Luck!

gimletgal Posted December 12, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) There were 8 last Saturday, with Infinity "tucked in" over by one of the Princess ships. This will pretty much be the scenario for the rest of the winter, with 7 being the norm. You'd be amazed at how smoothly embarkation goes (once you actually get into the port), in spite of the large numbers. Disembarkation, not so much! ;) Edited December 12, 2013 by gimletgal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliftoncruz Posted December 12, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 12, 2013 We were there last Saturday getting off the Infinity. What a mess once we got off the ship. We waited about 2 hours for a taxi to a local hotel. The port had two ships (Infinity and a Princess) feeding passengers into one line for taxis. At one point the police got mad at the taxi dispatcher, who had no control over the line, other passengers that just left the ships went to the front of line and the dispatcher just turned her back and ignored these people. The police basically moved her aside and told her just stand there, and they started assigning people cabs. It appeared to be going well for those arriving, no problem getting to the ship once inside the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twickenham Posted December 12, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 12, 2013 The one time we cruised out of Port Everglades, there were 11 ships in port, including the QM2. The cool part was that we were one of the last ships out, so we got to watch everyone else leave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seacruise9 Posted December 12, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hi, I am leaving on the Celebrity Constellation this Saturday. Because I love cruise ships, I will enjoy seeing the other ships. I am flying to FLL the night before the cruise and staying at the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six. I will get a taxi from the hotel and leave for the ship plenty early on Saturday. Because this is a five-night cruise that ends on Thursday, the port should not be crowded after the cruise. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelmac Posted December 12, 2013 #11 Share Posted December 12, 2013 We will be arriving into Port Everglades on Jan 5th. Looks like they may stick the Century over a Pier #4, next to the Princess ship? Celebrity has been using this pier this season when they have two ships in port. If so, I think we will try something new -- we are going to walk out of the port (through the parking structure, out the gate on to 17th sheet). We are staying at the Renaissance at the intersection of Eisenhower and 17th street. No sense in waiting in the taxi line for over an hour to take a 600 yard ride to the hotel. Wish me luck!

fishycomics Posted December 14, 2013 #19 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Where do you get this information from? things to quickly change, when in person to others informing...... 6AM, three ships seen, besides the Eclipse coming in, making that four... the other three or four, cannot speak for. but in and out was fast and easy, from off loading 30 minutes tops, to inside a car.
