Price of taxi from Miami Airport to Port Everglades

[patross]

I am not sure whether to purchase a Celebrity transfer from Miami Airport to Port Everglades, or take a taxi. I know with a transfer we must wait for the bus to fill up before it leaves. A taxi is more convenient for that reason. Does anyone know the price of a taxi?

It will run approx $75 one way plus grate.

There is a shuttle service, search the boards as I cannot remember the name, but the cost is only $15 a person or so. But if you don't mind the cost, taxi is more convienent or maybe look into having a car service pick you up, sometimes that is a better deal then a cab.

Thank you for the help and suggestions!

taxi cost me $85 + tip

And the price adds up quickly if you're stuck in a long line at the port entry security station. Once, we were in line for more than a half hour, and that really added to the fare.

Kitty9, that is a good point about getting stuck in traffic!! fleckle, I will check out the private shuttles. Thanks for the tips.

Traffic? You Americans want to come to London. Then we will show you what real traffic is. Our lovely M25 for example, 2 hours to get to the next turn off some 5 to 10 miles away. Or try our North Circular Road at 5.30pm.

Better still if you can drive the 18 miles from the suburbs to central London in less than 90 mins you are doing well.

At $75-85 plus tip, I would DEFINITELY look into a car service. Much more comfortable and no worries about the cost, because it's determined up front.

You can get from Miami Airport to FLL Airport via train (fairly cheap) or you can rent a car at Miami Airport and drop off at FLL (better if you want to do some siteseeing ahead of time). Either way, the taxi from FLL airport to cruise ship is about $20.

[Fixit2010]

I am assuming that you will have got off a long haul flight, then gone through customs which at Miami can take anything up to 2 hours, and then you collect your bags.

 

The last thing you want is hassle to get to the ship after all the travelling you have done so far and in the grand scheme of things an extra $100 on a taxi is neither here nor there and certainly more convenient.

I'd really like that info too!

 

Celebrity changed their port from FLL to MIA. I always arrive in port 2 days prior to cruising and love spending that time in FLL. Not sure I would like 2 days in MIA so I'm planning to take a taxi/ train/ shuttle from FLL to MIA on cruise day

A cab was over $100 in Dec from Port Everglades to MIA

If you have time , try taking the train

Miami on a Thursday night at 5pm is pretty horrendous as well!

Especially if the Taxi driver doesn't speak English ( the 1st language of Miami Airport is Spanish) he phoned his base x3 when taking us to our Hotel( Best Western Plus at Doral)

I wasn't sure if he was lost, or trying to take a quicker route.

Whatever, it cost $50.
