nhraformula00 Posted August 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Some airlines have luggage express, they take your bags to airport for a small fee. We have just taken a cab to Hilton Marina and dropped our bags with the bell hop, $5 to hold them and then got on the water taxi. https://watertaxi.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BNBR Posted August 15, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Which cruise line? I know Royal Caribbean has luggage valet service where they'll check you in for your flight, take your bags and everything right on the ship. You won't have to see or think about your bags until you get off the airplane when you get home. http://www.royalcaribbean.com/contentWithHero.do?pagename=luggage_valet_service As for what to do for the day, I would also suggest the water taxi as a fun way to get around. Check out Las Olas and Hollywood Beach, the water taxi services both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potstech Posted August 15, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Princess has an EZ Check program that will check your luggage to your destination and get your your boarding pass all for about $25.00 plus luggage fees. Does not seem to have a weight limit either. Have used it several times and it is a hassle saver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andismom Posted August 18, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Last time I had a flight like that we took an Uber to the nearest rent a car place - rented for the day and returned the car to the airport location rent a car place. It was only $60 or so. Check prices online - might be the cheapest way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpgirl65 Posted August 18, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Thanks priceline wants $10 online not sure which one to do the water taxi sounds fun but the rent a car is the cheapest way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyMIA Posted August 21, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) You can also rent a car, that is another way to store your luggage during the day. Edited August 21, 2018 by SandyMIA double post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted August 21, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 21, 2018 You can cab to FLL for about $15 (Uber will be closer to $10) and pay to store your bags there - most airlines will not accept checked bags until 3-4 hours prior to departure. Then you are free to explore the FLL area - Las Olas, Water Taxi, beach, etc. www.sunny.org has lots of FLL area tourist info. Your other option is a day pass to one of the resorts - use their pool and other facilities (tip them to store your bags). www.resortpass.com is one source to check for hotels and resorts offering passes on the day you need one. Good luck! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted August 28, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Please come back after your cruise and report on what solution you chose and how it worked out. Lots of questions and suggestions posted on this board, but not enough after-action reports. Have a great cruise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal04 Posted August 28, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 28, 2018 There is also a place to leave your luggage. They close at 5pm and charge $7 a bag. I left my bags there and used the free sun trolley. I have also rented a car for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
