I'm on holiday Posted December 27, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2011 The airfare to MIA is so much less expensive than to FLL. Is it a pain and/or time consuming to get from the airport in MIA to the port in FLL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue L Posted December 27, 2011 #2 Share Posted December 27, 2011 It is about a 75$ taxi ride, 30-45 minute ride depending on traffic. We do it all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm on holiday Posted December 31, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted December 31, 2011 What do you think would be a safe flight time for our return flight out of MIA? We will be on the Liberty returning on a Monday morning into Port Everglades and need to make our way to MIA. American has an 11:45 am departure. Is that reasonable?

Is that reasonable? 11:45 will be tight - better to look for a flight after 12:30 or 1:00 to be safe. :cool: Besides a taxi there are shuttle services (SuperShuttle, Go Airport Shuttle, and Quality Limo Services) that will make the trip for about $30+ per person, depending upon which hotel in the FLL area you are going to - you are being a smart cruiser and arriving at least one day early, correct? :confused: The cheapest way from MIA to the Port Everglades area is a one way car rental. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm on holiday Posted January 1, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted January 1, 2012 We are still kicking around our options for getting to Port Everglades. It's a 4 1/2 hour drive from the Tampa Bay area or a 1 hour flight. Decisions, decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decisions' date=' decisions.[/quote'] No way I'd try to fly - by the time you check in and get through security you could be half-way to FLL. By the time you land in MIA and cab or shuttle to PE you could be enjoying your first DOD. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! If you are off the ship with express departure then an 11:45 is doable, but I wouldn't recommend it - why rush around like a crazy person on your last day of vacation? We just disembarked Navigator on Sunday. We left the ship at 8:30 and it only took about 15 minutes to be curbside. But friends who left at 8:45 took over an hour to get out - they had halted disembarkation because the line at immigration was too long (we could hear the announcement from the curb). Then it took another 40 minutes to get a cab to FLL. They were lucky to make their 12:45 flight. And you'll be going quite a bit further. As for renting a car, it depends on the day whether it's a reasonably priced option. On the day we departed MIA for Port Everglades, the total cost would have been over $100, plus then you have to return the car and take another shuttle to the pier. We used South Florida Transportation (towncar service) for $86 each way (including tip and toll) and were very happy with them. The cars were clean, the drivers prompt and courteous to friendly. Can't ask for more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
