Pet Posted June 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Constellation docks at Fort Lauderdale at 7.00 so will probably be off ship by 8.30. Flight from Miami International is at 21.45. The only tour Celebrity is offering at present is to Sawgrass Mall (which we have done before). Can anyone recommend another way to while away 8-9 hours with luggage in tow? Did think about day room at airport hotel, but couldn’t see any on offer. Many thanks:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project_gal Posted June 12, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) How have you booked your flights? If you booked through Celebrity in the UK, as your flight is leaving so late, you will get a complimentary day-room at a Miami hotel. If you booked flights independently, you can book a day-room yourself. We booked at the Sofitel in January 2013, had a leisurely lunch [then fell asleep for most of the afternoon - but that was unplanned] before taking the hotel's shuttle bus to the terminal. Unless you particularly want to go on a tour, it is a nice way to finish your cruise. You need to contact the hotel directly to make a booking.

HokiePoq Posted June 12, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2014 An 1/2 day Everglades tour (some companies with hold your luggage while you tour) prior to leaving for Miami.:D That one was offered on our last several cruises out of Florida with other lines. We've done it and it was lots of fun. Good idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting onto one of the airboats is great fun in itself.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapytocruise Posted June 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 14, 2014 We have an upcoming cruise with our post cruise flight back to canada early evening. After not rushing off the ship to catch a 10 am flight as we typically do. We plan on getting a car rental for the day at the port with return at the airport. This provides for a trunk (or boot :-). to store luggage while we do a bit of US shopping at the great outlet malls.
