mysparky Posted March 27, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2007 There are 6 of us in our party (my parents, me, husband, & 2 kids) and we embark/disembark in Ft Lauderdale. In order to avoid outrageous airfare, we are actually flying home from West Palm Beach and our flight leaves at 3:30pm. My question is two-fold: First, from a logistics standpoint, what's the best way to get to West Palm Beach, considering that our flight isn't until 3:30? Should we go taxi to the airport and pickup a rental and then drive up? Should we get on a shuttle (then what would we do)? Second, I'm assuming that we'd disembark around 9:00 and the ride to West Palm should only take about 1 hr. What are your suggestions on what to do with all of the "hang out" time? We plan on being at the airport at 1:30, but we'd still have about 3.5 hours (with luggage) to occupy. I'm open to suggestions! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmeister Posted March 30, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2007 The car rental is likely to be your best bet, since you have a large group. Just be sure to rent a large enough vehicle to accommodate 6 people and their luggage (sounds like a Grand Caravan would work). Ft Lauderdale and West Palm (and a number of other cities in between) have decent downtown areas with nice shops, restaurants, etc. Unfortunately, you really don't have a lot of time for any sort of attractions or amusements.

Thanks for the reply - that's what I was thinking as well. Does anyone know if I have to return to the airport to rent a car? Are there options closer to the cruiseport?
