Uber at FLL cruise port

I have heard Uber is a problem at FLL Cruise port. Does anyone have information if Uber to and from FLL Cruise port is now allowed?

Uber is allowed and it's not a problem. It's used every day at the port, constantly. They have a waiting area for drivers and full procedures in place for Uber/Lyft. We need to stop this rumor.

No problem with Uber. They picked us up right in front of the terminal.

Thank you very much. Love cruise critic !

We find it easier to Uber to the port and taxi back out.

How much are the Royal Caribbean transfers to Port Everglades?

We were in FLL in August. Found Uber really easy to use. Pick up from port was not a problem. They have a designated pick up and drop off area.

I think they are around $35 per person. Can't quite remember.

Used Lyft to get to the terminal without issue except that the driver was frustrated in having to wait in line. Used a taxi leaving simply so we wouldn't have to wait and go through the "make sure we have the right car" routine.

Just off Harmony last Saturday. Uber pick up in about 8 minutes from when we called from curb. We were luggage call tag 5. Called from lounge in Harmony at 7:45 and we were sitting at FLL airport gate at 9am.

Uber is easy at this port. HOWEVER, when we were there in August, we walked ourselves off the ship and just walked right up to a cab. We were flying from FLL airport, so the cab ride was less than $20. Uber won't be much cheaper. For me, using the cab and having immediate service and no need to fumble my phone while dragging luggage was worth the $5 extra.

But back to the OP...the uber from the port is simple. It was more of a hassle at the airport...but uber is getting to be a hassle at EVERY airport these days. So FLL is no worse than anyone else.

Way too much for such a short drive. Assuming you mean from the Ft L airport.

There was a problem back in 2011 (forget when Uber first started) But that is long ago.

Way too much and it can kill your morale sitting on a bus for an hour waiting for it to fill up when you can see Allure or Harmony sitting right there! Grabbing a cab is cheaper and faster.

Used Uber on Saturday to go from Port Everglades to FLL -driver arrived in just under 5 minutes- cost $14.

Tried to use uber last month at FLL and they said they couldn't go to the spot that I was at even though other uber and lyft drivers were there. Took a taxi both ways for with no wait for $15 each way. The uber fair estimate was more than that.

Taking Uber from Everglades to Miami international. Any advice?

Wear your seatbelt? What sort of advice are you looking for?

Approximate cost and ease of getting a driver to go to Miami

Surge pricing happens all the time so I wonder from others experience what the cost is. I surely can go to the Uber estimator but it won’t say whether surge pricing happens often when cruise ships come in. So experience is what I am asking Thank you

We had trouble with Uber from FLL airport to hotel upon arrival.

Not easy to figure out when to get picked up and when we were a few minutes finding driver, he yelled at us for taking up his time.

We refused the ride and took a cab.

I have avoided this kind of problem at ports and airports by finding out where the designated pickup spots are and making my way there. Using a porter makes things even easier as they know exactly where to take you.

It is a pain but I find that if I conform in this respect, everything else is easy. Picking up a Taxi is an easier option but not practical for long journeys like transfers to Miami.
