New and need help

[vacationmama3]

Hi! Im a new cruiser here. My husband and I are going to be flying into Ft Lauderdale on March 3 the day before we cruise out of POM. We are stuck on finding the cheapest/ reasonable way (taxi,shuttle,rental) to get to POM. Not sure if we would be better off staying in Ft Lauderdale or Miami.Any advice would be great.

Thanks

I've always enjoyed staying in Ft Lauderdale. There are several shuttle services that can get you to and from POM. I have always used SAS but the others get good reviews too.

 

If you stay on 17th you will have access to number of restaurants (Southport Raw Bar is my personal favorite), a grocery (Publix) and a great wine shop (Total Wine) all within walking distance.

 

It's also about a 10-12 minute walk to a water taxi stop. You can ride round trip and see a lot of homes of the rich, famous and not so famous.:p

Taxi over $100. There is a booth outside FLL airport luggage pickup that offers shared shuttles to Miami for $25 m/l pp. Runs 24 hours. Miami Beach has several cheap hostels. Do not know about Fort L. Do a search.
