Love Boat Express (Bus)

Does anyone have recent experience of the Love Boat Express Bus from Clearwater FL to Ft Lauderdale. What kind of bus is it etc. We're travelling on Caribbean Princess Aug 7th.

Hi we have done it. It is the cruise connection. It was $25pp when we were on it. It will pick you up at a fast food place, and make stps till yo get to naples, then it will go 75 to Ft Lauderdale. The bus is comfy, bring a sweater cause if the air conditioning, and there is a potty on board. Takes you right to the ship, and is waiting when you get off.

I've done the Love Boat Express from Clearwater last December. You meet the bus at Steak and Shake on US19 and they take you directly to the ship. Clearwater is the first stop, so you'll have a few stops along the way (I believe it was 2 on the way up and 3 on the way back). The bus is a tour bus, similiar to what Greyhound operates.

 

It worked out well for my mother and I. It was very inexpensive compared to the gas and parking when you get to the ship. My husband and I drove from Clearwater and parked at the port when he and I went on a cruise last May. Gas varies, but the parking is $12 a day, $84 for the week. The parking may have gone up since my husband and I cruised last May.

 

The nice thing is you don't have to do the driving, especially on the return trip when you're very tired. I actually caught the flu the last day at sea and couldn't have drove back to Clearwater myself. I would definitely use them again on my next cruise in November.

 

Hope this helps out.

I think the price has gone up to 45$, but you should doublecheck.
