getting from port of MIA to port in FLL

[gar90]

we're doing a really interesting B2B cruise situation for our honeymoon. We're going on the norweigen getaway out of miami for the first week, then boarding the allure of the seas on the same day the getaway returns. the ports are only a half hour drive apart so i'm not terribly worried about timing. does anyone know of a good way to manage the travel other than shell out for a taxi?

The Florida Departures forum has much good info on transfers:

Have done this exact thing several times. We rent a car from Hertz located downtown Miami who picks up from the port and shuttles to their office on 2nd St.; we then return it to Hertz in Ft L. When you go on their site choose "Miami-Port of Miami" for pickup and choose "Fort Lauderdale-Port Everglade Fort Lauderdale" for return. Ft. Lauderdale Hertz will shuttle you to the port.

Both ships are fabulous. Different, but so nice. Enjoy!
