abby1257 Posted June 11, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Thinking of flying into Ft. Lauderdale for my Miami cruise. A lot cheaper....how far is it too Miami from Ft. Lauderdale...and what would be the best transportation... TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StacyKMN Posted June 11, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2023 The last time we cruised out of Miami, we stayed the night on Ft Lauderdale Beach and then scheduled an uber XL to the port the next morning. Uber XL was 97 plus tip. When researching, SAS transportation was quite popular, but our hotel wasn't eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PrincessArlena'sDad Posted June 11, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Lots of shuttle companies, which work better than Uber with large groups or lots of luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsglow Posted June 11, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Flying into FLL for a MIA cruise is quite common. We typically arrive the evening before; stay in the Dania Beach area, and then Uber in the morning. We've never paid anything close to $97. As others have said, numerous shuttles will operate directly from FLL so if you have a hotel with an airport shuttle you can simply return to the airport in the morning. That's always our Houston Hobby technique. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhraformula00 Posted June 12, 2023 #10 Share Posted June 12, 2023 SAS, QLS, Ect charge $ 15 per person. They are shared shuttles, about 15 people on each. Have used them before with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Shoes Posted June 14, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 14, 2023 We took the Briteline train from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale when our flight got cancelled into FLL during the big flood. Cost was $17 per person and $10 for the big suitcase. We used Uber to get to the station and then the hotel. Train was clean and new with a bathroom.

How many people are you? An Uber/Lyft will be around $50.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP asked about the "best", without any further definition or info. For a party of 8, a limo might be "the best". Nobody knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easiest and affordable: you often have to sacrifice one for the other. How they balance will depend greatly on party size and number of pieces of luggage.
