Port Everglades Experts - need advice!

[mringenoldus]

My little 3 night Enchantment cruise with my grandson has grown to a group of 12! (10 adults, 2 children)

 

Getting to the precruise hotel and to the ship will not be a problem as the service is provided by the hotel.

 

However, disembarking is a whole other story. Even a limo won't fit us with the luggage.

 

Should I order 2 limos or has someone used a good transport service that will get us back to FLL fairly quickly? Typically, there's something more reasonable than RCCL transfers.

 

I'd appreciate all the advice I can get :)

FLL is only 2.5 miles from Port Everglades, a quick 5 minute ride. Grab three or four cabs for the short hop. Cabs are plentiful and cheaper then a limo or the cruise ship shuttle. ;)

Cabs are the fastest and cheapest way from the port to the airport. There will be tons of them lined up at the terminal.

I had no idea that the airport was so close to the pier. We'll all jump in 3 cabs and be off! Thanks a million for the advice.

When we disembarked there last March, there were also a lot of van taxis that would accomodate you. Maybe you could grab one of those for at least most of you along with a regular cab!! have a great time.

According to Google, it is 2.9 miles.

 

You can see it on my Fort Lauderdale cruise map. :)

Very, very helpful. Thanks!

One other thing to expedite your trip back to the airport. Once you locate your luggage grab a porter and he will take you and your bags through the sea of humanity and get you a taxi. Otherwise you'll be standing there for quite awhile unless you are extremely pushy.

Since it's only a 3-nighter, those of us who don't OVERPACK could haul our own suitcase off the morning of disembarkation. (However, I have one daughter who's hopeless!)
