Is one of the specific hotels close to your hotel?

30-minute drive more or less

Check around this board. There are many companies commonly recommended...SAS, QLS, Jiffy Jeff, GO Shuttle,  a couple others. 

I checked SAS and Jiffy Jeff already, but they seem to do pick-up at specific hotels and at the airport only. Which is not what I need. I will check again. Maybe I missed something. 

Besides Uber, is there a service offering shuttle from Fort Lauderdale (Deerfield Beach) to port of Miami? We are not flying in and not staying at an hotel offering a shuttle service. 
I am guessing a private transport service but I have no clue where to begin looking. We are a group of 12 and would need transportation on December 26th, with return on January 2nd. Any help would be appreciated. 
 

TIA

We are considering renting two cabanas but would like them to be next to each other? Would that be possible?

Are cabanas worth the money? I am speaking about non-YC cabanas. 
 

Thank you!

Why do we need a test to enter your country?  

Per Canada’s government website : Pre-entry tests are not required for fully vaccinated travellers entering Canada by land, air or water.

Pretesting only stands for cruising.

Maybe then ask Canada to drop the test for people cruising into Canada.

There is no testing requirement for entering by land, air, yet it’s still there for cruising. I guess MSC is punishing us for keeping it 🤣

It is not just an MSC requirement - all the cruise lines have to abide by the rules of the various countries. 

 

Then they should have a test requirement based on the countries in the itinerary. As it stands none of our stops require a test on entry. Not even the USA.

Why should Canadians (and USA residents, for that matter) be treated differently from any other Nationality??

Exactly!

I can only imagine the hassle of someone flying internationally a few days before their cruise to enjoy the city and having to figure out where to get tested. This stress could be removed simply by lifting the test requirement. 

I am interested to know as well. When we booked, all cruise lines required testing for embarkation. I figured we’d give MSC a try. As we near final payment and I see the requirement being dropped by other cruise lines, I am figuring I could cancel and book somewhere else where I wouldn’t have to worry about finding a place on road for testing while driving down to Miami from Quebec during the Holidays. 
 

I do have insurance so it’s not about that. It’s that I could have a worry-less drive if the requirement were dropped.

I even messaged MSC on Facebook regarding us, Canadians, who don’t have to test to enter into the States but (no surprise here) I didn’t get an answer. 

Thank you both! I will check the websites mentionned. 

Hi all,

I am looking for suggestion. We are driving from Canada to FLL. We need a hotel for one night prior to our cruise. We would like one where we can leave our car while on our cruise. There need to be a shuttle early in the morning on the day of departure. No hour really for the shuttle when we return. 

Which hotel would you suggest?
