Cruiser985 Posted February 20, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) I will be staying at the Hilton on 17th street. Looking at google maps, port everglades looks like its only a 1/4 mile away. Im thinking of just walking there. I hear it is a secure area and was wondering if its possible to enter on on foot or if its actually further then it looks and we should take a cab. Thanks Edited February 20, 2015 by Cruiser985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It really depends on what pier your ship is going to be located. While yes, you can walk, it isn't something that is recommended. It is a very busy, commercial port and traffic is very heavy with big semi trucks and passenger vehicles. So while yes, you can walk to port, I would not.

acrn Posted February 20, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I would not suggest walking to the port. It's a HUGE facility, lots of traffic in an industrial type area and that could defintely be a really bad start to your wonderful trip. Most hotels have a shuttle but a taxi is even cheaper, like $10.00. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted February 20, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2015 If you pull up a map of Port Everglades, you'll see that the larger cruise ship terminals are at the southern end and the main entrance is down off Eller Boulevard. That'll be the most likely spot you'll find out which terminal you ship is at too. Closer to a mile and a half walk down Eisenhower to get to the gate. Cabbies are used to this short trip so grab a cab and tip generously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser985 Posted February 20, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I think I will just take a cab. I dont think walking would be worth it Thanks for the insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr and Mrs CIQ Posted February 20, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm going with the gang on this one. I think it would be better and SAFER to catch a ride to the port from your hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted February 21, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2015 If you are boarding Princess Regal or Royal, yes it is easier as those ships will be closest to the entrance. But as stated, the road is busy and if you are boarding a different ship, the walk can be much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted February 21, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Glad you decided NOT to walk it......Port Everglades is not what I consider "Pedestrian Friendly".......not even close. Remember, there are other ships and barges in there that are not cruiseships. Much easier to grab a cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
