Borntocruise1956 Posted February 15, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Are you looking for the best transportation to the port in Miami? Her name is Harriet Quarles. She is the best person you can hire to transport you from the airport to a cruise ship or any other place you want to go in Miami. We have know her for years. She and her drivers are friendly, prompt. Her prices are fantastic and they will welcome you to Miami and make your vacation experience special. She is a Minnesotan. She lives in Grand Marias, MN in the summer and winters in Miami. And she loves my Papa! heart emoticon Thank you Harriet Quarles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3CanadianBears Posted February 15, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 15, 2016 We stayed arrived in Fort Lauderdale the night before our cruise. We did this because the air fare prices were considerably cheaper than flying to Miami. We booked a hotel with free shuttle from the airport, then Uber to Miami port the next day. Work well for us.

asubaru Posted February 15, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 15, 2016 It's likely she, or one of her drivers, is trolling message boards since this is their first post. It's not the type of recommendation I would take. Does she have a website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDougOut Posted February 15, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 15, 2016 We picked up a 1 way rental at FLL, drove to our Miami hotel, and then dropped the rental car off in the morning at the downtown Avis location, which had a free shuttle to the port.

Nola26 Posted February 15, 2016 #13 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Any suggestions how to get from the FLL airport to downtown Miami hotels pre-cruise? Why are you trying to get to a Miami area hotel? If you're flying into FLL, consider just staying near the airport at a hotel that has a courtesy shuttle from FLL to the hotel. There are shuttle services directly from those FLL area hotels to the Port of Miami. I've done this twice. First time I was solo and used the NCL shuttle bus $25 one way and would use them again(had to go back to airport to catch this one). Second time my family was with me and I used QLS at $15pp. The ride was fine, but they arrived later than agreed so I'd hesitate to use them again, but others endorse them. Unless you have a need to be in Miami other than boarding the NCL ship I'd must stay in the FLL area. Edited February 15, 2016 by Nola26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to find my way around the message boards. I have alot of info to share. I appreciate quality people that provide transportation without breaking the bank.

mmbcater Posted February 15, 2016 #16 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Got two awesome deals through Thrifty for one ways and we are good to go. We get in early the day before the cruise and fly out later on the disembark day-so this affords us the luxury of taking our time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbmom1 Posted February 15, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Got two awesome deals through Thrifty for one ways and we are good to go. We get in early the day before the cruise and fly out later on the disembark day-so this affords us the luxury of taking our time! My son also booked a one way rental for the family for both arrival day, which is the day before and departure day. It was a lot cheaper than paying for the shuttle service and that way you have a vehicle to get around if you need to pick things up or do your own sightseeing! As the other person mentioned, when we drop the rental car in Miami, they have a free shuttle to the pier as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle Posted February 15, 2016 #18 Share Posted February 15, 2016 For a solo SAS worked great for me. I had a 10:40 flight out of Ft Lauderdale. I spoke to the driver on the way down and he assured me that if I got off the ship early they would have no problem getting me there with plenty of time to spare. Well, there was a holdup because there was a problem with the gangway so I got off (easy walk off) much later than I planned. SAS got me in a van and we were on our way shortly. They are in constant communication with other drivers so they know ways around traffic jams and are able to avoid them. Yes, I did get to Ft. Lauderdale in plenty of time. For some reason I was given TSA Preferred so I basically walked right through security with no lines and went straight to my gate. Guess what, my flight was delayed!

Borntocruise1956 Posted February 16, 2016 #21 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Any suggestions how to get from the FLL airport to downtown Miami hotels pre-cruise? I am new to this site, but will repost this for you...I am not a troll....I really want to promote Harriet. She will not rip you off and has been doing this for years. Every year, we cruise... she comes in, helps us, picks us up, gets us to the port and has gone out of our way when we were stuck in Miami. She is also a hoot. Just saying...give her a try. You can contact her at Seaport Shuttle on Facebook. Here is her direct number 1-218-370-9164. I want to post a picture of her and my 90 yr old Dad but I do not know how!

barb65 Posted February 18, 2016 Author #22 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks for your suggestion. We prefer staying in Miami at the Hampton/Brickell. Stayed there before and loved the location, restaurants, plus prefer to be in Miami the day of departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
