Negotiate a $20 taxi - $30 at most. Get 2 chairs and an umbrella at most beaches for $20. I would avoid Jolly as there are gangs of guys who run the beach and try to scam people. At The Nest they went up when they saw me give my card to open a tab and were telling them to charge some jet ski rentals to it - And I hadn't done any jet skis or had any business with them. Go to Ffryes or the North Side of Jolly in front of Pop Up beach bar. Pop Up was great with great selection. Also, take and use cash only. They take USD.

If you want to maximize your time, there is a bounce luggage storage at 1300 SE 17th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316 (less than a mile from port). It opens at 7am and I think it's around $6 per bag. Bounce has a website you can find on google - they have locations all over.

I called last night and upgraded from classic to premium beverage package for 13.50 per day plus gratuities.
