Large group, late flight

We are a group of 11 cruising out of Miami. When we return after the cruise, our flight doesn’t leave until 8:30pm out FLL. Any economical suggestions for the day? We could spend the day on the beach, but what about bags? Also, beach in Miami or FLL?

You can taxi/Uber to South Beach and pay to store your bags at the Luggage Lounge. Spend the day on the beach, people watching, lunch, drinks, etc. Collect your bags in the afternoon and taxi/Uber to FLL.

You could head straight to FLL and pay to store your bags there - then you are free to explore the FLL area; water taxi, beach, Las Olas, etc. http://www.sunny.org has lots of FLL area tourist info.

http://www.resortpass.com may allow all/some of your group to enjoy the facilities/pool of some of the larger hotels/resorts for $25-50+ per person depending upon availability. Tip them to store your bags.

For 11 you could rent 3 cars, put the bags in the trunk, and then go where you want for the day.

Thanks JohninDC for the information. I have heard of luggage lounge at Miami Beach but is there something similar in Ft. Lauderdale? We have a day before the cruise and plan to explore Miami, so I think a Ft. Lauderdale beach is a better idea and we would be closer to the airport.

Not sure about any place on the beach in FLL that would store bags, but you can store them for a fee at the airport (most airlines will not take them until 3-4 hours prior to your flight) and head from there to the beach/water taxi, etc.

Thank you

Last week we did this with our group of 20....

Totally last minute ( standing outside of port) I called

Thank you Kayjay. Sounds like a great idea!

My vote would be do a day room or two and hang out at a pool with places to change and services.
