Flying In to FLL, Cruising from Miami; Shuttle Question

[sickofsnowinmich]

For an April 1st cruise, the four of us are flying in to FLL, cruising from Miami the following day.

Since we are getting in to FLL at about 9 p.m., we plan to get a hotel there. If I book an independant shuttle service for the day of our cruise, will they pick up at a hotel vs. the FLL airport?

Any suggestions as to a shuttle service to use?

 

Thanks

I believe the answere is yes...

 

Check out SAS Shuttle

QLS (Quality Limo Service) has shuttles and will pick you up at a hotel in FLL. They pick up earlier than SAS will according to their website. I've used them and have only good things to say.

The answer is yes. Call SAS is my vote. I've been using them for a few years. Very reasonable and on time.

Used QLS and were very happy with them, they have a much better customer service than SAS.

Yes, a hotel pick up is no problem. Just make a reservation in advance with one of the shuttle services in the area. SAS and QLS Transportation are two that I know of.

I used SAS in October , they get my vote.

Used SAS in November of last year and plan on using them again in January. Excellent service for a great price.

Have used both QLS and SAS between FLL and POM and felt that both were very good.If your hotel is at FLL they likely will have no issue picking you up there. Have a good time.

I used QLS in November and they do start 1 hr earlier then SAS. I thought they were great and would definately use them again, since I like to be at the Port as soon as I can. I was there before SAS even started to pick up their passengers :)

SAS have used them several times.

Don't know if it would be cheaper for you (depending on how many you have to split the cost), but whenever we fly into FLL for a Miami cruise we rent a car at FLL and the next day drop it off at MIA. Then we take the free shuttle from the rental center at MIA to the port. Car usually costs about $60 for the day with the extra insurance. Just a suggestion...

SAS left us stranded at our horel in FLL. They never showed as promised. They never answered their phone when we called asking where they were. They never called us back as we left our phone number when we had called.

 

We had a confirmed reservation with them

Thank you everyone for your input on the shuttle question from FLL to POM.

 

I like the idea of the one that can get me earlier rather than later..;)

Have you used both? Why is QLS better? I've only used SAS. They irritated me the last time. Would consider making a switch.

Used SAS in November of last year and plan on using them again in January. Excellent service for a great price.

 

We will be using them also!!!! I couldn't agree more.

We'll soon be booking flights for a cruise out of <MIA in October...there are 4 of us...trying to decide at what "price point" do I switch from flying into MIA and go to FLL instead. I'd like to fly in to either airport the night before..seems to me I have several options..

 

#1) Carnival Transfer

#2) rent a car

#3) limo/shuttle service

 

Questions..

 

#1) If we take the Carnival Transfer then we have to go back to the airport to get the bus and then do we have to wait for the bus to fill up before we head to the cruise port?

 

#2) If we rent a car is it easy to get a car to return to FLL once off the cruise?

 

#3) Does anyone know the approx price for limo/shuttle service - round trip for 4?

 

Thanks for any help.
