What is Carnival's PoM to FLL shuttle schedule?

[75snow]

Hi,

I know this is a basic question but we will be coming back to Miami on the Glory next Saturday and have arranged for Carnival's shuttle to FLL. We are considering trying to do a mini-tour in Ft. Lauderdale as our flight is not until 3:30 flight.

 

So, how does Carnival schedule their service? Just wondering if we will be able to get off the ship early and have a scheduled shuttle or is it a first come, first ride arrangement. Kind of disappointed Carnival does not have any published information.

 

Thanks.

They have buses and you just show your ticket and get on-they wait until the bus is full before heading to FLL airport.

Correct. It is not like they have a scheduled time.

You would be better off arranging your own shuttle (SAS, QLS, Go Airport and others are often suggested on this board) to FLL; cheaper and they will leave earlier. Carry your own bags off the ship to get a head start.

 

Your other option is a one-way rental car from Miami to FLL; put the bags in the trunk and go where you want. Avis and others have downtown Miami locations close to POM ($12 cab if they do not shuttle), or book with National, Alamo or Thrifty and ride their free shuttle to their MIA airport location.

Our last cruise we fly into FLL and cruised out of Miami. We did use the Carnival transfer to get back to FLL for a noon flight . The night before debarkation we asked GS for Zone 1 . Without self assist , we were off the ship and through customs a little before 9 AM. Boarded the first transfer bus and got to FLL around 10:15 . The first few transfer buses fill up quickly , so there is not much waiting. You would plenty of time to explore FLL using Carnival.
