Fort Lauderdale: cruise bus vs. taxi

[Artemis908]

When departing the ship, is it faster and cheaper for two people to get a cab vs. taking the cruise line's bus to the airport? Our flight departs at 1:55pm and I am wondering if we should just try to get a taxi since the cruise port is so close to the airport.

With a 1:55pm flight you have plenty of time (unless the ship arrives very late for some reason). I would just catch a cab as the cost should be about $15 plus tip, alot less than the ship's transfers. Plus, you get to the airport faster (not having to wait to fill the bus) and are not in a large group - a mess at the airport sometimes.

 

Lots of cabs around the piers.

The $15 cab (the price is for the cab, not per person) will be cheaper than the bus for two. With a 1:55 flight you have lots of time - you could even check your bags with the airline and then cab to somewhere fun for an early lunch.

Thanks! Exactly the kind of info I was looking for!

I too would go with the Taxi as JohninDC has said.

 

Have a great cruise.
