toban1 Posted October 31, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2016 We are flying into Ft L but our cruise departs from Miami. Any recommendations on convenient and economical travel between cities ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breanainn Posted October 31, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Took the tri-rail several years ago for a celebrity cruise, the flights into Ftl were too cheap to pass up vs Mia. Once in Miami I juat hired a cab to the cruise port. http://www.tri-rail.com/airport-connections/ Sent from my XT1095 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted October 31, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 31, 2016 If you look on the Florida Departures board, here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=495 you will see dozens of threads on this topic. The answer is shuttle, and there are many recommendations over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEST COASTER Posted October 31, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Just a question for you, HardToPort, about SAS. I have read Trip Advisor reviews and they are all good. However, I called the number on their web site at just after 3:00 p.m. Miami time and received a voice message saying they are closed. No contact info anywhere else. Do they have an email address ? I have a question for them about my arrival in Ft. Lauderdale at 5:15 p.m. Looks like they don't service after 3:00 p.m. I am right on this? Thanks for your help.

Hi CallCharg I don't know if they've closed shop. I used them in February with no problems and their website still works. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redmustanggt89 Posted November 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 1, 2016 We rented a car because there were four of us. We went a day early and Stayed at a hotel that had shuttle to the ship so we turned the car in early. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted November 1, 2016 #10 Share Posted November 1, 2016 You don't say if this is just you or how many are in your party. There are five of us and airfare to FLL is much cheaper than MIA, so we're going to fly into FLL with our cruise leaving from Miami. Because there are five of us, we're renting an SUV in FLL and will turn it in, in Miami. This will allow us to use the car to go out to eat, check things out in Miami and pick up some wine, sunscreen and a few other things. Each of us will only have a carry on, so we will be limited on bringing liquid items on the plane. When the cruise is over, we will be using a shuttle to get from the pier to the FLL airport.

xeroxme Posted November 2, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Check out Miami Shuttle express. They have a website. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvlworm Posted November 3, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Depending on how many people you have, it might be least expensive to do a one way car rental. We did that this past March, was very easy and cheaper than a shuttle since there were 4 in our group. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfinster007 Posted November 3, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 3, 2016 If you want a car service, check out 'A Family Limo'. They service Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin'Christine Posted November 4, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 4, 2016 We recently took John's Car Service, as there were 4 of us and we had 6 pieces of luggage. It was $95, including tax, tolls, and tip. We were picked up in a black Escalade that had plenty of room. The driver had bottles of water for us. He met us at the airport with a sign and then took all of our luggage for us. It was a great way to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donfairview2001 Posted November 4, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I believe once you book they will give you a cell phone number for that morning for the dispatcher and you tell him when you get in the airport or off the ship depending which way you're going Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
