Cruising on Millenium 10/27. Flying PVD to FLL (I hate flying out of Boston. Not convenient for us). It's been quite a few years since we've last done this. What is the approximate taxi cost one way from FLL Airport to Miami pier?

 

Thanks.

Hi LadyTenorJD

We are on a B2B cruise that will have a turnaround day on a Sunday in November wherein we will be off the ship from mid morning till around 4PM. A couple of old friends plan to drive over from Naples, on the gulf coast, to visit with us. Can anyone suggest an easy to find (for all of us), meeting place such as a restaurant or landmark with parking, perhaps on 17th street in Ft Lauderdale?

You are always so helpful . . . . and PROMPT.

Muchas Gracias from Costa Rica Jim and Flora:)

We will be staying post cruise at a hotel near Oakwood Plaza and we will not have a rental car but would like to visit Hollywood mall which has a target store. Bus service? . . . Approximate cost of a taxi? Thank you for any input.

Correct! Go for downtown and 3 or 4 stars and you can't go wrong. You will either get 17th St, Las Olas Blvd, or possibly Crowne Plaza on S.R. 84 (that one is new and is between the airport and downtown areas so it is always possible that it could pop up).

Thanks for telling it like it is with regard to hotwire and priceline deals.

Although the majority of the hotels offered within a given area would well serve my needs - I will usually be better off by selecting a "bird in the hand" booking rather than risk the possibility of obtaining - for a lesser price - something that could turn out to be really inconvenient for us.
