Bequia Posted October 30, 2007 #26 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Lois is absolutely right. The cruiseport entrance road was not designed with pedestrian traffic in mind. ///// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhead621 Posted November 3, 2007 #27 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I tried booking with Go Shuttle. The trip from FLL to Port of Miami, no problem, $18 per person, the return............134.00 because they do not have vans at the pier waiting. ???????This is what I was told on the phone by a live person. Can this be correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who you are sailing with but the transfer is way less than that....actually a cab is less than that too:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not offer any shuttle services originating from any other location. 69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiecat Posted November 8, 2007 #30 Share Posted November 8, 2007 does the Go Shuttle pick passengers up @ hotels 5am to get them to the airport for a 7am departure? Thanks ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calenita Posted November 8, 2007 #32 Share Posted November 8, 2007 We are a family of five and I've been looking at renting a vehicle in FLL - we fly in the day before our cruise - staying at a hotel overnight and then dropping of our vehicle with either DH dropping us off at the port or if the car rental people ahve a shuttle using that to get us to the port. Renting a car is about $60 including all the taxes charges etc, so for us it works out cheaper I believe. Any opinions on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhead621 Posted November 8, 2007 #33 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Has anyone used Port of Miami Shuttle before. Just want to hire someone that will be there when they say they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a pass, they're a transportation broker. They are not responsible for anything. You'll be hard pressed to find any mailing address for them, terms of service etc. Just a middleman, you can do better on your own. ;) 72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted November 8, 2007 #35 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Bequia, you are a gem:) I have never done this but was wondering about transportation from a FLL hotel down to the Port of Miami. Example, I was flying down on the morning I sail..you know I am up in Jacksonville and the flight is only 50 minutes. If I change plans and arrive the night before...I am still flying into FLL and grabbing a cab to the hotel...but to get down to Miami the next morning. I don't want to go back to the airport to pick up "GO"...what would you suggest to get to Miami? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted November 9, 2007 #36 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Lois, tough question....Gas was $3.12 a gallon today in Miami and it keeps creeping up. You just know cab fares are going to go up as well. We all know cabs from Ft Lauderdale to Miami will set you back $70+. Even an economical car rental isn't the great savings it used to be with the rising fuel prices. Unfortunately GO is the only reasonable alternative, and that's only TO Miami, doesn't help you coming back. It's a shame our rail system is so unreliable, even if it wasn't getting to and from the rail station adds up as well..... I wish I had a better answer for you..... 70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted November 9, 2007 #37 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hmmm....I will stick with what I am doing now then...... Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plant Posted November 9, 2007 #38 Share Posted November 9, 2007 NO. GOShuttle only picks up passengers at Ft Lauderdale International Airport. They'll drop you off anywhere from that point of origin. 69 Bequia, thanks so much for all your help! On the GO Shuttle website it says that you can book from the Miami airport or the cruise port if you pre-pay. Do you know if that's still available? It sure would make it easier to get back to FLL, and I'm sure they could fill a shuttle or two :). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted November 10, 2007 #39 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Plant, if you are pre-paying..how do they know what time to pick you up at the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plant Posted November 10, 2007 #40 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Plant, if you are pre-paying..how do they know what time to pickyou up at the ship? Good question, Lois! I guess you'd have to give them a time and hope the ship is cleared by then :confused: . They'd probably charge for time they spent waiting, too. We haven't booked our air yet, but I predict we'll be flying into FLL, too, to save $$. I just read the post about the return GO Shuttle trip from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale costing $134.00.
