rainbowbeach Posted August 15, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2008 We are flying into Miami for our 1/10/09 Ruby Princess cruise. Any suggestions on transportation to the port from Miami airport? Would prefer not having to wait for people to fill up a bus. Thanks - :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbowbeach Posted August 15, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Any idea how much a taxi would be from Miami airport to the Port (is it called Port Everglade in FTL?)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About $100. :eek: May as well rent a car, no drop fee. :) 22 miles to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e71465 Posted August 15, 2008 #8 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Due to United no longer flying into Fort Lauderdale, I was forced to fly into Miami. So, I researched this and found the following: Taxi: $100.00 plus one way Super Shuttle: $80.00 one way per person Rental Car: $60.00 for day, plus a $25.00 drop off fee for one way same day drop off? I didn't understand that but what ever? Princess bus transfer from Air Port: $50.00 round trip per person round trip. We chose the Princess transfer because we will already be there and it's easier for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where you got your rates, but the shuttle price from MIA to FLL is $14 to $16/PP and there is never a drop off charge for rental cars between MIA and FLL. Also, a car does not have to cost $60. And a taxi will not cost $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the cab, I called and asked the hotel? Maybe they were full of you know what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judyzoo Posted August 16, 2008 #17 Share Posted August 16, 2008 We usually drive from home -- which is about 15 miles south of the airport -- if we're sailing out of Port Everglades, but we have taken a limo instead, at a cost of about $60 one way (plus tip). $100 sounds too high for a cab from the airport.
