Question About Hotels/Airports and Shuttles for Harmony of Seas out of FLL

[JerseyJessica]

Hey Guys

Taking our 4 and 6 year olds on their first flight.  Unfortunately, the flight gets in to MIA International at Midnight the day before we port the Harmony of the Seas.

 

The Harmony of the Seas leaves out of Fort Lauderdale.  It sounds like MIA and FLL are about 30 min apart, but there were no direct flights into FLL, so we are stuck with MIA.

 

What is the best way to stay for one night, get to the port the next day.  Things like free shuttles or free breakfast are great, but I am having a hard time finding a free shuttle from MIA to FLL Cruise port.  And since it is the first flight for them and we are getting in at midnight, they will most likely be asleep.  Just trying to figure out the best way to manage getting from a late flight to a hotel to the cruise port the following day.

 

Also, does anyone have any other tips in general?  Kids have been on Anthem before and love the kids cruise program, but we were sad to hear RCCL Discontinued the Dream Works experience beginning April 1 on all cruises.
