blambition Posted October 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Our cruise ends in Miami, however we are flying out of Fort Lauderdale. By chance does Oceania have a program that you can check your luggage through to the airport? Our flight is not until 6 PM. Thanks in advance for any info.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums They do not offer such a program, probably owing to the scant number, proportionally speaking, of Oceania Cruises, which use Miami. In your situation, I'd probably suggest renting a car for the day from a large Rental company which will allow you to return the car to FLL and storing the luggage in the trunk.

Rare LHT28 Posted October 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 29, 2016 You could also take a shuttle to FLL & use bagstogo.com to store your bags then go off to explore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that is a more flexible option then again by the time you go to the car rental place (usually at MIA), stand in line then get on the road you could be in FLL :D Edited October 29, 2016 by LHT28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 29, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 29, 2016 an option if you are up to siteseeing in Miami http://eng.bigbustours.com/miami/ship-to-shore.html# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertygo Posted October 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 30, 2016 an option if you are up to siteseeing in Miamihttp://eng.bigbustours.com/miami/ship-to-shore.html# Great suggestion!! We're renting a car since our flight doesn't leave MIA until 7:30 PM, but looks great for someone with less time or not wanting to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blambition Posted October 30, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Thank you for the ideas! Looking at the tours, I flashed back on taking a city tour once after a redeye when all we wanted to do was go to sleep! This had to be about 30 years ago LOL, obviously I don't remember any of it.

blambition Posted October 30, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted October 30, 2016 After looking at bagstogo, I am thinking we might use that. It seems like a nice choice and then we could always take a shuttle to a convenient hotel and have a nice leisurely lunch possibly around the pool, and then take the shuttle back to the airport. May look into getting a day room. I'm not that interested in touring Fort Lauderdale. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 30, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Another suggestion not sure where you are flying to but one cruise we had a bunch of people arrive about 9am at MIA but their flight was not until late afternoon we were on the 12:20 flight so not a problem Some were able to get on the earlier flight for a small fee Might be worth checking if staying in FLL area try http://www.sunny.org for options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potterhill Posted October 31, 2016 #11 Share Posted October 31, 2016 We hired a car and driver. He gave a little tour of interesting sights in and around Miami, we stopped for lunch on the beach, drove up the coast and to the airport. Lovely day.
