tammi0916 Posted June 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Just wondering if anyone has a ballpark amount if we decide to take a taxi to Port Everglades? Our hotel has a shuttle but may want to go earlier than the shuttles leaves - I am a bit impatient! :D Thanks in advance ! Tam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We NEVER wait for the hotel shuttle. We always get a taxi so we can be at the port nice and early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tammi0916 Posted June 9, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thanks for the infor everyone! Taxi it is for us!!! One more question, it that per cab or per person? There is 4 in my party and 2 mor for my parents. We may need to take 2 cabs as I don't know if the 6 of us will fit in one with all the luggage and carryon's? I would rather spend the 15 dollars on a taxi then wait for the shuttles!! Tam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindsorFred Posted June 9, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Agree 100% It is easier and usually cheaper to take a taxi. From: Yet another impatient one. Sea Ya Same here. Most FL hotels now use a "service" anyway. It's not the hotel shuttle. Was $9 pp last time we used it. Opted for a taxi @ $15 for all 4 of us last time.

snoopyb Posted June 10, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Don't mean to hijack but don't want to create another post about Springill Suites...is the shopping area where kmart, bj's located within walking distance? I know it is across a huge street but wondering if it is safe for pedestrians to cross? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills blasters Posted June 10, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 10, 2014 It is easy to get to the shops across the street. There is a cross walk with a light just at the end of the parking lot. Don't try to cross anywhere else. It is a very busy street. Once you get across the street, the shops are right there. They are kind of spread out, so depending on where you want to go, it can be a few blocks or more walk. Claudia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always get a taxi so we can be at the port nice and early. You must be thinking of a different hotel. It will cost closer to $20 and the taxi ride is about 15 minutes from the hotel to the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalton5 Posted June 30, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Has anyone stayed at the Spring Hill before and what are your thoughts? Can a car be left there during the cruise?Thanks, Cheryl We stayed here two years ago before and Allure cruise. We enjoyed it. We didn't have a car so I'm not sure about that, but there is a shopping plaza across the street for any last minute items you make need. We used the hotel shuttle from the airport to the hotel and then again to the port. However, there was an older gentleman, Isaac, who was a "resident" at the hotel who had a shuttle van. We used him to take our group to dinner. If we hadn't already paid for the hotel shuttle to the port, we would have had him take us. I think we will be staying there again in March. Hope Isaac is still there :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
