kycruisr Posted January 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 19, 2023 How to get to FLL from port of Miami to make an 11:30a.m. Flight? Has anyone done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky1987 Posted January 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Yes. Self-disembark early. Grab a taxi. You can be at FLL by 8:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porsche Racing Posted January 19, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 19, 2023 This was my reply in a NCL thread a few weeks ago. Should apply here also. Just got off the Sky in MIA this morning. Our flight was at 11:05 am leaving FLL to YYZ. We did self disembarkation, left the ship when the all clear was given at 7:40. Cleared American Customs (they just checked our passports and asked a few questions) which was just located outside Deck 6. Walked thru the main terminal and got into a taxi which was just parked outside the terminal. Got to the FLL airport at 8:30 ish and thru airport security in another 10 minutes. (The wait at the Starbucks inside terminal 2 was longer than the security wait time.) It is definitely doable, but everything has to be trouble free. Would I do it again, not if I have other flight options (this flight was booked by NCL). Our schedule was flexible so I wasn't too worried about missing the outbound flight. It was stressful until we sat down at our departure gate. FYI, the taxi ride was $104 plus tip. Our NCL transfer bus was not even at the terminal, and as someone else said, they don't leave until the bus is full....definitely not an option worth risking.

LeeW Posted January 20, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2023 We used ridesas.com for a transfer. Pickup is 7-8:45 and goes directly to FLL. You call them as you go into the customs hall and they will tell you where the vans are. Cost was $15pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very pleased and booked with them for our Oasis departure on Sun with a flight departing FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willwils Posted January 23, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 23, 2023 My travel agent said to use a taxi as they are waiting outside the cruise terminal. But for the very short ride to FLL $104 + seems outrageous. Was that the exception? Our flight is scheduled for 2:35 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be disembarking at Port Everglades Ft Lauderdale) going to nearby FLL. Is taxi, Uber or something like ridesas.com the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be noted that the ride should be pre-booked, on their website, and then you call them just before you go into Customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disembarked Oasis in Miami @ 9:30 for our 2PM flight out of FLL (as it was $99 pp cheaper than MIA). Used SAS Transportation (www.ridesas.com); $15 pp and only 10 passengers. Have used them many times between FLL & POM or area hotels as listed on their website. (No p/ups or dropoffs @ MIA). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're using them in April for a family of 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only several miles away, and the taxi ride is usually around $20-25 depending on what terminals you are at. Uber is around $20 as well. Holidays and such result in higher rates. Make sure the taxi runs a meter, or they'll dupe you like they did us - $50 for that ride... If you are the only person, compare shuttle prices with taxi/uber before deciding.
