nancynb Posted November 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I know I can book transportation through the RC website for a shuttle back to the airport, but I am wondering if this is the preferred method of getting back to FLL. There are only two of us. Is a taxi preferable to the shuttle and if so, what is the ball park cost? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUSINGFAMILY Posted November 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I agree just take a taxi, or take the car rental shuttle if you are renting a car it is free. Happy sailing Brian J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancynb Posted November 14, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted November 14, 2014 That sounds great. So we just disembark and there will be taxis waiting somewhere easy to find? Thanks so much for the prompt replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted November 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) One way either way FLL-PE or PE-FLL taxi will be approx $15.00...metered never pay a flat rate...It's approx 10 min ride. Taxi's at FLL are right outside the luggage claim area turn left as you exit the door and you'll see the line up. Taxi's are just outside the terminal luggage claim..many will be lined up and waiting for passengers. Edited November 14, 2014 by Ashland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took a cab from there to PE this past Saturday. They charged some sort of "airport to port fee" that added $3 to the fare so it was almost $20 + tip altogether.

If you take a taxi, you can leave when you want. Taxi will run about $15 and is 10 min or less to the airport. Take the taxi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bnook 1 Posted November 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I understand taxis are plentiful at the port in Fort Lauderdale. My question is what about a party of five? Are we better off taking the RCCL shuttle bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know about the construction..I was just there in October. Sorry we haven't ever been charged this airport fee :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is the RC transfer.........if they charge per person it will add up. RC shuttle would be my last choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
