Transportation from POM to FLL Airport

[ssteve923]

We are sailing Royal Caribbean and returning to the Port of Miami. We need to get to FLL airport for a late afternoon flight. There are 4 adults with luggage. Can we call an UBER XL from the port or do we need to make those arrangements before we sail? Does anyone know the approximate cost? Would a taxi be about the same price? What are other options that won't break the bank?

Thank you for the help.

You should call for Uber from the port - no telling exactly when you will get off the ship, find your bags and clear customs.  For 4 plus bags you will likely need UberXL or a taxi van - the cab will run $80+ on the meter and Uber XL should be a little cheaper - you can do a mock booking to verify, but surge pricing may affect what you are quoted when you are at POM. 

 

The ride from POM to FLL takes about 45 or so minutes; I would store my bags and then head out to lunch somewhere, or look at wwwresortpass.com for hotels offering day passes to their pool/beach/spa facilities.

 

Have a good cruise!
