Rare SRQbeachgirl Posted May 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 15, 2023 The cruise lines have transportation between the airport and the nearest cruise terminal, but the only way to get from Tampa to Ft. Lauderdale is by car or plane. I think Spirit might fly that route. If it were me, I would just rent a car for the one-way trip and drive. You can drop the rental off at the closest location to the port and get their shuttle (if they offer one) or an Uber to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted May 15, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Agree...OP if you're a Costco member check out pricing on their website for your rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted May 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 15, 2023 The "best" way? Private helicopter. Second best, limo with champagne in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EatonDoolittle Posted May 15, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Looks like it's doable if they can sit on a bus for a while. Cruise Connection bus is not "the best" , but its a solution if they don't want to drive. https://www.cruiseconnection.travel/rates/ft-lauderdale-miami/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteerageJoe Posted May 15, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) I am always hesitant to answer “what is best” questions because we do not know the available budget. Assuming you do not want to drop a fortune, then Amtrak is a comfortable consideration. Unfortunately the options can be a bit confusing and too long to type here so so suggest to read this article: https://lets-see-america.com/riding-amtrak-trains-to-florida-cruise-ports-port-canaveral-port-everglades-port-miami-tampa-palm-beach-and-jacksonville/ Edited May 15, 2023 by SteerageJoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BoozinCroozin Posted May 17, 2023 #8 Share Posted May 17, 2023 TPA to FLL or MIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocCruisers Posted May 17, 2023 #9 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Have you asked in your Roll Call? Chances are someone on your ship is driving from the Tampa area and could take you for a donation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajathree Posted May 19, 2023 #10 Share Posted May 19, 2023 If you can find a good price fly ....check out Southwest and Silver Airways. Other choice like mentioned is rent a car and drive...it's about a 4hr drive from Tampa to FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
