Port of Miami to FLL

[oufpat]

We anticipate getting off cruise ship in Miami by 8:30 and we need to be at FLL by 12:30. There will be 10 of us, 5 children 9-12 in a van we have reserverd for 4 hours. Any recommendations on what we can do in this amount of time to keep every one entertained?

As FLL will be pretty crazy with people coming from Port Everglades...you won't have that much time, when you consider moving 10 people, returning a rental, etc. I would just be going slow to FLL.

I agree, go straight to FLL. You will have lines to go through before you are through customs. They you will have to get to your rental vehicle, then drop it off. Hopefully there isn't a lot of traffic. You may have more lines at FLL.

I’ll differ a bit- a quick diversion to Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlor on Federal Highway- http://jaxsonsicecream.com/.

 

Its about 8 minutes south of the airport.

Amazing how quickly the time goes once you exit customs.  I would get your transportation settled and head out towards Ft. Lauderdale, which is about 45 minutes (not considering any unusual traffic.) I would rather have an hour to spare being at the airport then rush, rush, rush to return vehicle, go thru security etc. etc.
