pincak Posted April 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Taking cruise on Celebrity Equinox June 18 out of Miami. Booked flight to FLL and debating whether to stay in Ft Lauderdale hotel with free airport shuttle and Uber or shuttle to port the next day, or Uber or shuttle to Miami hotel with free shuttle to port. Mostly boils down to traffic really. Our flight lands 2:30 pm on Saturday,June 17. What's best option for transportation post cruise from port to FLL? Not familiar with Port of Miami.

Rare 4cats4me Posted April 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) We are in the same situation for October. Ultimately, we've decided to stay in Ft Lauderdale for two nights and will be using Larry's Limos to transport us to the port of Miami. We realize we could Uber, too, but we've Chosen not to for this trip. SAS shuttle will pick up at several hotels in the Ft Laud area and the cost is around $15 pp Our hotel is not on their list, however. There are other shuttles as well. We are just trying to avoid being on a shuttle for a prolonged period of time while going from hotel to hotel to fill the van.

perditax Posted April 3, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I like to fly to FLL and take SAS shuttle from FLL airport hotels to PoM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 4cats4me Posted April 3, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I like to fly to FLL and take SAS shuttle from FLL airport hotels to PoM. When you've taken SAS, did you have to go to several hotels to pick up other passengers or just make a couple stops? How large are the vans, 12, 16, 20 passengers max? Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have, however, been the very last person dropped off at the airport on the way back. Might have been a function of which airline I was using and the fact that I never have early flights). I can't imagine they hold more than about 12 people. They are usually black Mercedes vans with about four rows fitting three people each, if memory serves. Jiffy Jeff is basically the same product.

JohninDC Posted April 3, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hotels in the FLL area are generally cheaper than comparable properties in Miami/Miami Beach. http://www.sunny.org has lots of FLL area tourist & hotel info Choice is yours - uber from FLL to POM or downtown Miami hotels runs about $40 - you'll need another Uber or a taxi to get from your Miami hotel to POM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleteace Posted April 14, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I stayed in Fort Lauderdale for a couple of days then got an über down. I got a shuttle back up because I had already booked it, the shuttle was completely fine but the über was great! It was my first uber trip and I can't recommend using them enough. I've listed here how much each mode of transport cost and how long it took, I hope that helps! http://cruisingisntjustforoldpeople.co.uk/2017/01/07/fort-lauderdale-airport-to-the-port-of-miami/ :-) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
