Victory748 Posted January 26, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I can save $60 on my airfare by flying into Ft. Lauderdale instead of Miami. Will I spend more than $60 getting to and from the the Ft Lauderdale airport to the pier than I would from the Miami airport to the pier, or is this a good plan to have a little more drinking money once on the ship? :D Thanks!

Froufie Posted January 26, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Well I believe the ship's transfers are $40 pp from FLL to Miami, a cab is around $80, and there are also shuttle buses (super shuttle, port of miami shuttle) that would run around $25 pp. If there are two of you flying - sounds like you would save $120 and could spend only $50 leaving you with that extra $70 in drink money? Up to you I guess? (I do hope you are flying in a day early so you won't be too stressed about getting to the ship?) Froufie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory748 Posted January 26, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Thanks. Went ahead and booked the tickets to FLL. Yep, flying in the day before. Don't need that added stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon2bretired Posted January 26, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2006 We had this same dilemma. I decided to fly into FLL a day early, sprung for a limo to miami hotel, cab to port the next day and cab to miami airport when cruise is done. Not sure how much i am SAVING, but the FLL air was only $68 one way from Pittsburgh so it SEEMED like a savings since the to Miami air was over $100 pp, we are a family of 4. I think springing for the stretch probably ate up that savings, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sme Posted January 26, 2006 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2006 We are surprising the kids by having a limo waiting for us to take us to Miami. :p They aren't expecting it and I can't wait to see their eyes, 16 and 8 yr old. We found one for $90 from limos.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bequia Posted January 27, 2006 #8 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Tri County Airport Express http://www.floridalimo.com/Pages/sharedr.html When you arrive at the airport, collect your luggage and go outside the baggage claim area, lower level, curbside, contact one of our starters (customer services reps.) wearing a white shirt with "AIRPORT EXPRESS" in red on the back of the shirt and an emblem on the sleeve and over the breast pocket. Let the starter know what service you are interested in and he/she will assist you. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted January 27, 2006 #9 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Thanks Bequia - but I am actually looking for shuttle service from the port of Miami to the FLL airport for my return home - does tri-county provide this as well?

Bequia Posted January 27, 2006 #10 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Thanks Bequia - but I am actually looking for shuttle service from the port of Miami to the FLL airport for my return home - does tri-county provide this as well? Thanks, Froufie The last time I used them from Port of Miami there were 8 of us in our group. Their website shows a rate of $64 for private Town Car service for up to 4 people. That's less then cab fare. I suggest calling them directly to see if they can accomodate you. They may have a shared van available on your return date. 800-244-8252 Reservations http://www.floridalimo.com/Pages/private.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
