stanky284 Posted July 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Maybe we will be staying close to Airport. Was wandering how easy is it to get to the water taxi for a day of visiting the day before are cruise out of Miami. Is it easy to book a shuttle for Saturday from hotel in Ft. Lauderdale? When should I do it? We are going on our first cruise on the Escape in November! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted July 6, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2016 http://www.sunny.org has lots of FLL area tourist and hotel info. Depending upon when in Nov, rates should be reasonable -- unless your budget demands it I would choose to stay in the downtown/17th street area, with lots of hotels and dining options to choose from. Skip the shuttles - taxi or Uber are cheap and easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalcruz Posted July 6, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Uber to/from water taxi is your best bet for transport. SAS shuttle from hotel to Port Miami is a popular service on CC (book online in advance and you'll see if your hotel is on their pickup list...if not just get a ride to one that is)...usually runs $15pp. Edited July 6, 2016 by royalcruz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted July 6, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Is there a reason you decided to stay near the airport? Cab fare in and out of the city/beach area will run you $30. Considering you are looking at a slower weekend and I see the rates are lower, I'd just choose something on 17th st minutes from the port, restaurants, shopping and sun trolley to bop around the city.

I totally agree. You may want to check out the rates at the Hilton Marina as the water taxi actually stops there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
