Looking hotel/shuttle transportation Fort Lauderdale to Port of MIami

[Rneighh]

We fly into Fort Lauderdale late the night before our February 15 cruise sailing out of Miami.  I need hotel/shuttle suggestions from a hotel near the airport.

 

Thanks.

If you look down the board, you will see many recommendations for using services like SAS, QLS, MLS, Jiffy Jeff, GO Shuttle Jeff's Limos and a couple others, plus the possibility of using Uber or Lyft. You may need to, if you are staying close to the airport, return to the airport to catch your shuttle. Check the websites for the shuttle services to determine what hotels they pick up at.

It is a 35-45+ minute drive from the FLL area to POM - no hotel will do this for free.  You are better off booking your own transport.

 

Your best bet is to find a hotel near FLL that meets your needs and budget - February will be pricey so start shopping ASAP. www.sunny.org has lots of FLL area hotel info.  There are lots of shared shuttles that will take you from the FLL area to POM and back to FLL after your cruise - all for about $15 per person each way - check SAS, QLS, MJS, Go Airport and others.  Most list the hotels they pick up at on their web sites, saving you a trip back tot he airport just to catch your shuttle.

 

Many now choose to use Uber or Lyft - standard fare between FLL area and POM for 2-3 passengers plus bags is about $35+ each  way for the car (not per person like the shuttles).  If you have 4-5 travelling together you'll need UberXL for about $70+ each way.  Taxi fare on the same run will be about $70+ on the meter - same fare for a standard cab or a larger mini-van taxi.

 

Or call Larry's Limos and arrive in style - basic car is about $100+ each way and there are bigger and more expensive options if your budget will allow it. 😎

While most hotels will offer a shuttle, they typically leave at designated times and will wait until each van is filled.  As an option Uber and Lyft both serve this area very well and inexpensively with a vehicle that will be dedicated just to you and at your convenience.

We used the SAS website to search for FL hotels that they serve.  Found one in our price range, near the FL airport, booked that and booked SAS shuttle to POM for the next morning.  We will probably use them for the POM-FL airport trip after the cruise.

When we do this we usually stay at Embassy Suites in FLL and then get SAS transportation as our shuttle to Miami.

There are zero hotels in Ft. Lauderdale that provide free shuttle transportation to Port of Miami. 

You would have to find your own transportation from your Ft. Lauderdale hotel to Port of Miami.
