Reina del Mar Posted January 7, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Staying at Embassy Suites pre cruise. Flying into FLL so no hire car. Please advise whether Sawgrass Mills is doable . Never used Uber or Lyft.(Bit of a technophobe) Any suggestions for public transport ? Shuttle ? Not sure taxi fare would make it a worthwhile experience Help ? Ideas ? Suggestions > Thanks.

Rare Roz Posted January 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I've seen a city bus go down 17th St. with a sign on it saying Sawgrass Mills. Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted January 7, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 7, 2017 We did it once by public bus, but wouldn't do it again. It was a long indirect journey and the bus got very crowded specially on the way back. I believe that a taxi would be $50+ each way. Unless you want to hit a specific store/stores the Sawgrass Mall is huge. More than you can cover in one day. For our shopping day now, we go to Galleria Mall, which has a Macy's (10% discount on most items on production of passport) and numerous other stores. Then we go over to TJ Maxx in Harbour shops (close to Embassy Suites) and buy a couple of bottles of wine in Total Wines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted January 7, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2017 VMax, That is helpful information. Have you ever taken the city bus from 17th St. to Las Olas? Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb4534 Posted January 7, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 7, 2017 We stayed at Embassy Suites three days ago. There was a pamphlet for Sawgrass Mills. It stated that there was a shuttle. Roundtrip was $30/pp. There is a concierge desk in the lobby, I guess you sign up there. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchHill Posted January 7, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Sawgrass offers their own shopping shuttle from various Ft Lauderdale hotel locations. On our last trip to the area, I recall reading something about this in the Pier 66 room literature. Contact your hotel, or google Sawgrass Shuttle. Since we had a rental car, it as an easy drive. IMO, not much different from premium malls near me, but a nice way to spend pre-cruise money. Darcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you...this sounds easier than renting a car and paying for parking at the hotel....if we have to carry shopping might stop us over spending too.:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
