xan51090 Posted December 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 17, 2014 We changed our 11 AM flight from FLL to a 7:30 PM flight home after reading some threads on possible delays in getting to the airport. My question is can we take a cab to a hotel near a water taxi stop and check our bags there even though we won't be checking into the hotel? We'd like to explore a little of Ft. Lauderdale and retrieve our bags later in the afternoon then taxi to the airport. Has anyone done this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about a hotel but each terminal at FLL has a service call Bags to Go (http://www.bagstogo.net) where you can store luggage for the day. Since the airport is so close to Port Everglades you might consider them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted December 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Your other option is to rent a car, put the bags in the trunk, and then explore all you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a great option for us also, we end our cruise in miami but our flight out of fll isnt untill 7:55 We could shuttle to the airport, store our luggage and then go exploring fll!

xan51090 Posted December 24, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Can we use luggage express that's offered on the ship or is a 7 PM flight too late to take advantage of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to use LE, but I would double check with your cruise line - airline participation varies by port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtMaui Posted December 25, 2014 #7 Share Posted December 25, 2014 We returned from a cruise on 12/22 with a 7:45P flight. We left our luggage at Bagstogo at FLL ($7/bag), took a taxi to the Hilton Marina Hotel, took the water taxi, had lunch on Las Olas, got off at the Hilton Marina stop, and took a taxi to the airport. It was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhraformula00 Posted December 27, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 27, 2014 When we have a late flight we just go back to the Hilton Marina and they will hold your bags for 3-4 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
