South Florida/Florida cruisers: Parking & Travel "Hack"

[haolenate]

Hey friends,

 

Just wanted to chime in on a lil 'secret' that's not very well published or talked about anywhere else.

 

BRIGHTLINE has *FREE* shuttles from their stations (Miami, Ft Laud) to their respective cruise ports.  AND, you can prepurchase parking at the Brightline garages for $7/day.   Granted, the free shuttles are only TO the port, taxi's back aren't that bad.  I just did this a few weeks ago on Divina in Miami, and the taxi was about $14 and took all of 5 minutes.

 

The free shuttles are a very nice treat, and its great to not have to deal with the turnpike or I-95 for those of us in Florida (I'm a partial resident.. commute between Alaska & Florida)

I was just looking into Brightline for our cruise next week, but because it’s only a three-nighter we really wouldn’t save any money.  Keeping it in mind for longer cruises, though.

Excellent!  Thanks for the tip.  Probably should post this in North American Homeports/Florida Departures.
