tcfila Posted November 1, 2006 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2006 We are going on 2/25 cruise leaving from Miami. We fly into FLL on 2/24 so we need a hotel close to the airport (hopefully with free shuttle) and need to arrange to get to the pier. Any advice on a decent hotel? Is it easiest to just grab a cab? If so, how much for 2 people? I have no idea... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLaura Posted November 1, 2006 #2 Share Posted November 1, 2006 We booked a room at Sleep Inn (dania) which has free shuttles to Port Everglades, the port in Ft. Lauderdale...I dont know of any hotels that will shuttle you to Miami from FLL maybe someone else can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcfila Posted November 1, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I don't want a shuttle from the hotel near FLL to the Miami pier. I just want to know how much to expect for a cab ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted November 1, 2006 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I don't want a shuttle from the hotel near FLL to the Miami pier. I just want to know how much to expect for a cab ride. $75-$85 depending on traffic. A shared ride shuttle from FLL airport to the Port of Miami is $18 per person.

tcfila Posted November 1, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Being the cheapskate I am.....It would be best to stay at a hotel near FLL that offers free shuttles to the airport. The morning of the cruise, go back to the airport and take a shared shuttle. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calliope Posted November 2, 2006 #8 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I believe that there is commuter rail service between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. Perhaps for the truly frugal this might be a viable option. In fact I'm thinking of using it to go to South Beach for the day after my QM2 trip in January.

It's unpredictable, unreliable, prone to delays and breakdowns. I would not use it to get to the port. If your just sightseeing and time doesn't matter, then go for it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
