Need advice on timing

[loves2sail]

We are cruising out of Miami but flying into Ft. Lauderdale, arriving at 10:40 on the day of the cruise. Will we have enough time to get to the ship in Miami before it leaves at 4pm? Want to set up the air but need answers before I do it. Any advice on how to do this would be helpful

Hi,:) you will have plenty of time to get to the port.

Most cruiselines offer transfers and if you are arriving at 10:40am

you should be at the ship (even in Miami) between 12-1.

If you don't want to use the transfer, there are limo services

in FLL and of course taxis are plentiful though pricey down to Miami.

grrr....what is with the boards again:eek: :confused: :rolleyes:

In addition taxis, limos and the crusieline shuttle bus there's the Tri-County Airport Express shared ride shuttle. At $18 per person it's a very economical choice for two people.

When you arrive at the airport, collect your luggage and go outside the baggage claim area, lower level, curbside, contact one of the starters (customer services reps.) wearing a white shirt with "AIRPORT EXPRESS" in red on the back of the shirt and an emblem on the sleeve and over the breast pocket. Let the starter know what service you are interested in and he/she will assist you.

Just get a cab--there are plenty, it's relatively cheap, and that's the fastest way to do it! Have fun!

hi cb:) cheap is a relative term...From the FLL Airport down

to the Port of Miami? A cab ride is at least 50.00.......where

as the shared rides are 18.00.

You can't be serious? A cab from FLL to Port of Miami runs between $70-$80.....:rolleyes:
