How to get to Port Everglades from Hotel?

[MCManders99]

Hi all! We are staying at Hyatt 17th street in April and wondering best way to cruise port for Allure of the Seas. Hotel charges $7 pp and there is 4 of us (2a/2c). Would a taxi be more cost effective. Will not use Uber ( DH refuses) so looking at professional company, DH is a limo driver here so it would be taxi, car service or hotel shuttle unless there is some other option. I just don't want to spend $50 for all 4 of us but will if we have to.

Take a taxi, $7.00 pp is a rip off. No way should a cab cost more than $15.00 with tip, its such a short drive. If you don't want to spend more than that, have a decent car, and not get ripped off, as much as DH might not like it, Uber is still the way to go. But a taxi should be fine. Absolutely no need for a private car or anything like that.

Taxi would be less expensive and quicker than the hotel shuttle. You will probably need a minivan taxi because of the luggage.

There's usually cabs going back and forth from the nearby hotels for pre and post cruisers. If you don't see the larger size cab after a little wait, have the hotel concierge call for one. Same price as a normal sedan. $15 sounds right.

Just take a taxi. Like mentioned early, if you need a minivan the hotel will call for you. Allow a few extra minutes in that case. You will be literally right at the port. I doubt a car service would take the reservation since the trip is so short.

Just out of curiosity, why won't he take an Uber? It's definitely the best way to go. Cleaner, cheaper, local, and maybe quicker.
