Barb_and_Sean Posted September 24, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2005 We are going to be going on RCCL Navigators of the Seas on 12/10/05. We have to fly in the day before so I'm trying to figure out airfare and hotels now... It looks like it's nearly $100 per person cheaper to fly into FLL but our ship sails out of Port of Miami. Is it actually going to wind up costing us the same amount to have to get from FLL to MIA? I haven't been into FLL before, so I'm unsure of the distance, etc. If we do decide to do this, would you suggest staying in FLL or MIA? I don't want to spend a fortune but would like to have a nice place to stay. Thanks for your help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentS Posted September 24, 2005 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2005 It's a 30-45 minute drive from FLL to the Port of Miami/downtown Miami under "normal" circumstances, much longer during rush "hour" or if there's been an accident. The cheapest way is usually to just rent a car, but if you don't want to bother with that we use the following companies, both are reliable, reputable local companies... Tri-County/Airport Express (shared van service and private cars)... http://www.floridalimo.com/ Larry's Limo... http://larryslimo.com/ Personally I would use one of those to go from FLL to a downtown Miami hotel, then take a short, cheap cab ride from downtown Miami to the port on the morning of your cruise. (BTW- You'll LOVE the Navigator, wonderful ship! :) ) Downtown Miami hotels, closest to the Port of Miami and Bayside Marketplace... http://www.baysidemarketplace.com/ JW Marriott... http://marriott.com/property/propertypage/miajw Hyatt Regency... http://miamiregency.hyatt.com/property/index.jhtml Intercontinental... http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ic/1/en/hd/miaha?irs=null Marriott Courtyard... http://www.miamicourtyard.com/ Biscayne Bay Marriott... http://marriott.com/property/propertypage/miabb Conrad International... http://conradhotels.hilton.com/en/ch/hotels/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=MIACICI Four Seasons... http://www.fourseasons.com/miami/index.html Mandarin Oriental... http://www.mandarinoriental.com/hotel/526000001.asp Holiday Inn Bayside/Port of Miami (for the budget minded)... http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/hd/miabb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
