3red7s Posted April 1, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi folks, I apologize as I am sure that this has been covered already. Looking ahead, we are going into FLL one day early & staying in a hotel. What is my best form of transportation from my hotel, to the Port of MIami, the morning of the cruise? It appears that a Taxi or UBER are NOT the best prices. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted April 1, 2020 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2020 You BEST bet would have been to Uber to your hotel in Miami and then taken the free (or low cost) hotel shuttle to the port. However, Since you're doing it this way, Uber is still going to be less expensive than a taxi or a limo. You could jump on your roll call and see if others are staying near you and maybe share a shuttle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted April 1, 2020 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Curious, when are you planning on doing this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted April 1, 2020 #4 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The best place to ask this is the Florida Departures Board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadaboutgal Posted April 1, 2020 #5 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) If you are flying in to Ft. Lauderdale, you might consider renting a car, perhaps Hertz, from there to downtown Miami. Hertz has an office (229 Southeast 2nd Street Miami-less than 3 miles to port) and they will shuttle you to the port. In the meantime, you would have the car for transportation between and around the two cities. Edited April 1, 2020 by gadaboutgal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted April 1, 2020 #6 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I have done this several times. I like to stay in FLL for several reasons but have cruised out of Miami too. I always use Uber - very reasonable. Have fun! Stay Well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted April 2, 2020 #9 Share Posted April 2, 2020 We also use Uber. The price varies depending on surge pricing, but it usually cost us about $38. Keep in mind that is the total cost for a vehicle which will take you from you directly from your hotel to the proper pier with no waiting for other passengers, no waiting for other pick up spots, and no waiting while others are dropped at other piers at the port. Another nice advantage is you summon Uber on your own schedule rather then having to crowd into some shared shuttle service at a designated time.

hannibal54 Posted April 2, 2020 #11 Share Posted April 2, 2020 We always use SAS, they will pick us up at the hotel and take us to the port. Yes, they may make other stops along the way but we don't mind talking to others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for info purposes, we used S&S trans and they were great. But, our flight came in after 3 PM and the charge went to $75. This was about two years ago, so I don't know if the policy has changed.
