FLL Airport to Miami port Transportation

[platterb]

Has anyone used SAS Transportation for transfer between the Ft. Lauderdale Airport and the Port of Miami? Any problems? Do they have a lot of drivers or do you have to wait for them to return from POM? What about transfer back to the Airport? How do they accommodate all of the people getting off the ship in a relative short period of time? If I'm not mistaken, it's a 40 minute drive.

 

Appreciate any assistance.

If you book with SAS and they tell you what time they will be there, they will be there at that time. Steve is very dependable and runs a good business.

We've never used them but we are booked with them for next March, based on all the positive recommendations on Cruise Critic. So far, all of the feedback I've seen has been good. If you pop over to the Ports of Call -> United States -> Florida Departures board, there are lots of positive recommendations and info for SAS there.

We just got back Saturday from our cruise and used SAS again. This time they had us call when heading down to get our luggage and again when we had it all. Walked out of the building and he drove right up. Getting off the cruise ship he again had us call before going through Customs and then again when we finished. Walked out to the spot and he pulled right up. Very quick service with friendly drivers. Would recommend using SAS to any family or friend.

If you have questions, Steve is really good about calling/emailing back so just ask him.

We had excellent service from SAS when we traveled earlier this year. They were prompt and safe drivers. I would travel with them again in a minute.

We have used SAS several times. Our next cruise in November we found some others on our roll call who also have to go to the FFL airport. Since there will be five in our group, we each had our price dropped to $13. They also pick us up from our hotel in Ft. Lauderdale (we always fly in the day before cruising) and drive us to the port. Just 32 days to go. Yippee!:D

We used SAS in March, they picked us up at POM with others. They dropped the others at FLL, then took us to our hotel near the airport, no problems. I would use them again when needed.

I'll be using them in 9 days! I'll report back in on how it went.:)

Thanks everybody for your comments. I've heard great comments but was worried that Steve might not be able to accommodate everyone.

 

Have a great time cruising!!

Just to chime in, we used them for the September 25th sailing of the Epic and they were prompt and courteous. I would not hesitate to use this service again.

Great service. Used SAS last Friday. Our plane was nearly 2 hours late. They were calling me before I even got off the aircraft to tell me they were there waiting and where to meet them. Express service directly to our hotel. Couldn't have been better.

Used SAS at end of October. For only $15 pp each way from FLL airport or from your hotel in that area to Port of Miami in a clean, comfortable van with a very nice, very accomodating driver, WHY USE ANYBODY ELSE??? They are super reliable and a great value. Much quicker than using the cruise line's bus, less crowded and the driver gave us a tour while driving instead of awkward silence. :p

We traveled from Ft. Lauderdale to the Port of Miami and back with SAS , they were very timely and very nice, we are going to use them again here very soon. I would recommend them to anyone going on a cruise.

www.ridesas.com but it's a little early to be booking transport for a 2013 cruise. Good luck! :)

I just booked my transportation with them for October. They replied to my email almost immediately and they are even picking me up from my FLL hotel! Can't beat the $15 price either!

LOVED SAS transportation when we used them from FLL - MIA. They are very dependable and come highly recommended on these boards. :)

If we arrive FLL the day before sailing, but would prefer to stay in Miami, can we still arrange transport through SAS?

Yes -but for downtown hotels colse to POM. From there you'll need to taxi to POM (about $10-12 for the cab). Try Hyatt, Doubletree, Intercontinental, Holiday Inn and a few versions of Marriott. Good luck! :)

SAS is easy to get ahold of just call them at - 1-954-600-0240, we called the day we were ready to head for our cruise and they had enough room for us, but you can call ahead too, we will this time around.

SAS has a sight on here, you can get all the info on the rates and times they run, and the phone number, and the driver will give you his cell number when you get back to Miami before you go thru the security check call him and he will be waiting for you and tell you where he is located.

Thanks. Have sailed from POM many times. Usually stay on South Beach but not this time. Sailing over new years and hotel prices are outrageous. Have stayed at the downtown Courtyard and Marriott Biscayne Bay on business and will probably pick one of these. Or if prices stay where they are, may just stay in FLL.
