Transportation cruise to airport

[LA24]

Just wondering easiest, best way to get from ship to Fort Lauderdale Airport.

Cruise shuttle, uber, taxi?

Flight leaves at 2pm.

thanks

Lyft/Uber was really easy for us last month.  Side note, you should really put this on the Florida Departure board.

Taxi or Uber. The airport is close by. The cruise shuttle is both more expensive, and slower, since you have to wait for everyone to board before it will leave.

We usually go with Uber or a taxi.  Shuttle can be cheaper, but you have to wait until the bus is filled before it leaves.

We have usually just used a taxi.  Uber might be a bit cheaper/nicer, but there typically seems to be a cluster of people and cars in the Uber area trying to figure out who goes with who.  Taxis are typically lined and waiting when you walk off the boat.  For reference, this past Sunday 2 of us took a taxi from Port Everglades to FLL for $20 (before tip).  It was maybe a 15 minute ride, even with traffic. 

 

Also agree with others that ship transfers likely both the slowest and most expensive.  If I recall, Celebrity was selling that option onboard last week for $18.95pp.

 

Edit to add:  PS - another thing to confirm is when you airline will allow you to check bags.  We have not had trouble checking bags a few hours early with Delta.  We most recently flew Allegiant, and they would not allow folks to check bags until 2 hours before flight time.  So, a group of us had to wait at the ticket counter
