islesdave Posted November 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2015 There are cheaper hotels closer to the airport with free airport shuttle. Some of the downtown hotels that are closer to the port have port shuttle. I stayed once at the Ramada Inn Miami Airport North when they were offering both complimentary, no longer. If you're not a large group, Uber is the way to go - cheaper than a cab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted November 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Check out the Florida departures board. Lots of great information and advice from local cruisers.

cb at sea Posted November 10, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 10, 2015 No Miami hotels are what I consider to be "cheap", pricewise! Cabs aren't that costly, so don't worry about shuttles...they take so long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do check out the Florida Departures Board. In February, prices tend to be high in Southern Florida as demand for them is high. In the end you pay for these services so I would not limit yourself to inclusive shuttles. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted November 10, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 10, 2015 thinking of booking this since we won't have to rent a car with the shuttle. is there anything within walking distance? There is not a lot of interest close to the hotel but there is a bus "outside" that will take you right downtown. If you look at routes 11 and 51 at http://www.miamidade.gov/transit/routes.asp you will be able to work out the timetable. The route is shown on http://www.miamidade.gov/transit/library/system-maps-web.pdf We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights after our cruise and went downtown on the two days. Very easy and even more so using the 51 as it is an express bus. Good luck Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggielover68 Posted November 10, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 10, 2015 We always use Priceline Express deals to get a hotel near the airport for around $100. We also always rent a car for a night from the airport because they are cheap if you book a few weeks out. The last two times it was only $25 including tax and fees. Then in the morning we drop it off at the airport and the car rental agency has a free shuttle to the port. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmccoy Posted November 11, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 11, 2015 What car rental company has a shuttle to the port ? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Thrifty, we use them every time. You must choose to return the rental at the Port or they will not give you the shuttle ride...so pick up and return will be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyeSeaEwe Posted November 11, 2015 #15 Share Posted November 11, 2015 LaQuinta MIA East has a free shuttle between the airport and the hotel and a free shuttle form the hotel to the port (but not back). They also offer discounts to military (active and vets). There is a Bennigan's or some such in the adjacent parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
