Ft. Lauderdale

Thinking of flying into Ft. Lauderdale for my Miami cruise.  A lot cheaper....how far is it too Miami from Ft. Lauderdale...and what would be the best transportation... TIA

The last time we cruised out of Miami,  we stayed the night on Ft Lauderdale Beach and then scheduled an uber XL to the port the next morning.  Uber XL was 97 plus tip.  When researching, SAS transportation was quite popular,  but our hotel wasn't eligible.

we did this last June.  it was easy peasy.   get an UBER ours was not 97.00 more like 47.00

 

30-45 minutes.

Lots of shuttle companies, which work better than Uber with large groups or lots of luggage.

The exact same question was asked an hour before yours...

Flying into FLL for a MIA cruise is quite common. We typically arrive the evening before; stay in the Dania Beach area, and then Uber in the morning. We've never paid anything close to $97. As others have said, numerous shuttles will operate directly from FLL so if you have a hotel with an airport shuttle you can simply return to the airport in the morning.  That's always our Houston Hobby technique.

Best transportation is a limousine.

hmmm...one limo company came up almost $200.00...i don't think so

SAS, QLS, Ect charge $ 15 per person. They are shared shuttles, about 15 people on each. Have used them before with no problems.

We took the Briteline train from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale when our flight got cancelled into FLL during the big flood.  Cost was $17 per person and $10 for the big suitcase.  We used Uber to get to the station and then the hotel.  Train was clean and new with a bathroom.

Do you need a limo? How many people are you? An Uber/Lyft will be around $50.00.

The OP asked about the "best", without any further definition or info. For a party of 8, a limo might be "the best". Nobody knows.

The $97 was for an Uber XL. I just checked the pricing and that is pretty accurate.

Easiest and affordable: you often have to sacrifice one for the other.  How they balance will depend greatly on party size and number of pieces of luggage.
