Recommended Posts

We are leaving Sunday for our cruise and we have transportation to the cruise terminal in Miami but haven't secured transportation back to the air port in fort Lauderdale after the cruise.

I was just planning on finding a shuttle at the cruise port once we get off the ship.

Hubby isn't thrilled with this plan.. so...

Any ideas on how much it will cost us to find a shuttle back to the airport. (rough estimate)

We researched Uber and for 4 people it looks like it will be about 80 bucks. That seems high .. I am hoping to find a shuttle cheaper.. am I crazy?

Check out MJS Transportation or SAS Transportation. We're going to use SAS for our cruise in a few weeks. It's $15 each. I haven't used them before but the reviews I found were good.

I will check them out, thanks

If you have an afternoon flight and aren't tight on time, look into the train that runs from MIA to FLL. It's very cheap and runs a couple times per hour.

 

The train... never thought of that. We have the time so that may be an option. Thanks

I've used SAS Transportation several times with good results and plan on using them again in January.

 

I would book a shuttle ahead of time and not count on just finding one when you get back. I've done that before, but the last time I debarked in MIA they would not take walk up fares. Independent (other than Carnival) shuttles are apparently not allowed to take walk-up fares at the port and they said they were being watched and could be fined if caught.

Skip the train - it will cost you $27 to get to the MIA airport to catch the train (under $5 each) to FLL.

 

SAS, QLS, MJS, Go Airport and some other shuttles are suggested on this board almost daily - fares start at about $15 per person and the ride takes about 45+ minutes. Call the driver when you are leaving the ship with your cell - easy! :cool:

I think I'm going to use Uber from Hotel in Ft Lauderdale to POM. Looks to be around $30 and can

Go at my convenience

We were talking about using uber. I've never used it before so I know you get a discount on your first time so that may help..

Interesting site - I have never had an issue with Uber, but cannot say the same for taxis (especially the crooked cabs in Philly! :mad:)

 

4 of your 5 posts recommend the same shuttle company - are you a driver? :confused:
