cruisingpeople Posted March 20, 2023 #2702 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I know I'm about 80 pages behind and I will read all of them, but I just want to say that we made it home safe and sound without any problems leaving the port and the airports. We had a FANTASTIC time and really enjoyed being with and talking to as many of the Bella Group as we could. Most know that I won't be able to make Bella2 but there's a possibility that Amelia could find one of our friends to take my place. TTYL 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the express lane end soon enough to get on I-75? Yes! You would follow the 12A exit which is the FL Turnpike to the left leading to Alligator Alley. Or you could continue a little farther North and take I-595 West to Alligator alley which is also I-75 at that point.

Pretty tires. Yeah he meant that for me because we told the story that we had received notice on our phone of a low tire pressure warning. We figured we would need to replace or repair once we got off the cruise. Sure enough, when we got to the parking garage we could see a giant screw in the tire. Thankfully it wasn’t flat and we could get to a local dealership. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led to elevator Crammed and warp speed. Off ship. Luggage easily found Through customs That was the good. Now outside the terminal Passengers coming and going. Actually everyone behaved. No bumping, hitting, cutting. Normal pace. As we walked by at 9am heard 100 min wait for a taxi. Yes folks 100 min. We pre scheduled a private car. Called. Brief wait. Off to FLL. To spend night. However. Did witness some busy busy people waiting for their ride. Blocking the area to pick up your ride between pilons numbered 1-5. Port traffic. Unbelievable. and for those arriving today. Traffic coming to port is bumper to bumper. Next time we leave. Taking 2 Tylenol. Making sure I bring a beer to cabin the night before to take Tylenol with breakfast. 11:00 re the 100 min taxi wait. YIKES! is that the norm? or was it because of the marathon or whatever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took us to the front of the taxi line (which might have made a few people unhappy but hey it was him asking people to move out of the way not me) and we got a taxi in about 5 minutes. Taxi fare to the airport was a mere $39 bucks which was a lot better than our last taxi fare for $63. We were one of the last groups debarking which helped too. ...just curious...how much "care" did you give him...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got off abound 8 am and waited about 15 min at most I'd say for a taxi. As renee posted the marathon was jan 29, not during our cruise. No one knows why rcl still handing that traffic warning out. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then signs directing us toward 95N via I-395. As soon as we saw the Express Lanes sign we got in the left lane and booked it for home!
