katelocura Posted December 14, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2018 We will arrive at the Miami port Sunday morning & do not fly out until 8pm on Sunday out of FLL. Looking for ideas on what to do. We will have luggage with us. Ive seen a few mentions of different tours. Any specific suggestions would be awesome. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted December 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Check with your cruise line to see what tours they have that interest you. Many, if not all will end at the airport, and your luggage will be on the bus or other vehicle with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted December 14, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The easy & convenient thing to do is take an excursion offered by your ship. Your luggage will be on the excursion with you and they will take you to the airport when it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted December 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Since you have the entire day and because a cruise line excursion will get you to the airport no later than mid-afternoon, consider renting a car. You can store your luggage in the trunk and one way rentals don't incur an additional fee. For things to see and do in Fort Lauderdale, check out www.sunny.org and TripAdvisor. Top on just about anyone's list is the water taxi (www.watertaxi.com). If you don't want to rent a car, take a cab/Uber/Lyft to Fort Lauderdale airport after disembarking the ship. There is a Bags to Go luggage storage facility in each terminal (www.bagstogo.net) where you can store your luggage until 5:30. From the airport you can take a cab/Uber/Lyft to downtown (a short, inexpensive ride). Once downtown, hop on the Sun Trolley (www.suntrolley.com) for cheap transportation ($1/ride or #3/day pass) down Las Olas, along the beach, and down 17th Street. Then take a cab/Lyft/Uber back to the airport arriving before 5:30 to pick up your luggage and check in for your flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted December 14, 2018 #5 Share Posted December 14, 2018 From POM take an Uber to South Beach and store your bags at the Luggage Lounge. Enjoy SB for the day - boozy brunch, beach, people watching, art deco architecture, hop-on/off bus tour. Collect your bags when ready and Uber to FLL. www.resortpass.com is one source for large hotels and resorts offering day passes to their spa, pool and beach facilities - tipe them to store your bags while you enjoy.

Rare cruiselvr04 Posted December 14, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Hotels by day is another to try. We used the Ocean B in FFL this week. It wasn’t cheap but had a room and used the pool, was on the beach. Much better then spending all day at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted December 16, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 16, 2018 these guys supposedly will take your bags from ship to airport and hold them til you get there http://myjetservice.com then I'd make my way over to Bayside and get a ticket for the Hop on Hop off, get off in time to grab an Uber to FLL. Play it right and you can get off a bit further north and reduce the UBER cost ... (there's a couple of HoHo's so I'd check their route maps ... they are NOT all the same . . . ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
