kayjaypea42 Posted June 27 #1 Share Posted June 27 Hello all! I booked a flight into and out of the Fort Lauderdale airport for a cruise in the Miami port. What's the best mode of transport? Uber? Shuttle? Cab? Car rental? Also, would you recommend I stay in a hotel near FLL or a hotel near the port? Thanks so much for any advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhraformula00 Posted June 27 #2 Share Posted June 27 Hotels in Lauderdale are generally cheaper, depending on time of year. We always stay at Hyatt Place on SE 10th. street. It is a 2-3 mile shuttle ride from airport. There are shuttle companys that will pick you up in the morning, ( shared shuttles ) and bring you to port of Miami. Starting at $ 15 P.P. We have used sasrideshares in the past. They will bring you back to Fort Lauderdale airport after your cruise. There are a few others also. Qls. Uber or taxi will be quite expensive, it is about 22 miles trip. https://www.ridesas.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted June 27 #3 Share Posted June 27 When sailing out of FLL we stay at the Renaissance on 17th street. In February we stayed at the Marriott Fort Lauderdale Airport for our cruise out of Miami. We take a Lyft or Uber from our hotel to the cruise ship, either FLL or MIA. For our upcoming cruise out of Miami we are flying to Miami and staying at either the Marriott Miami Biscayne Bay or maybe the JW Marriott in Brickell - still undecided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past FLL hotels were cheaper, but it is no longer true. SAS left us at the port, without providing a reasonable explanation as to why. We were lucky enough to catch a different shuttle. 3 weeks ago Lyft/Uber from Port Everglades to MIA was $60 (3 of us, SUV). It's the same price it would have been in a shuttle for 3 people. If you are alone, you may be better off sharing Lyft/Uber with people or with a shuttle. Edited June 27 by Itchy&Scratchy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
