Thanks in advance. :) Because the airport and port are so close to each other, don't base your choice of hotel on free shuttle. Pick a hotel you like because a cab will be cheap to either from the immediate area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bequia Posted August 16, 2007 #5 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Does anyone know approximately what cabs cost from airport to hotel and hotel to pier? Thanks The shared ride shuttle charges from $9 to $15 per person to the Ft.Lauderdale area hotels. Cab fares from the airport start at $10 (minimum). Cabs to the SE 17th St hotels run $12-$14. From there to the pier is usually under $10. All fares are metered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks FLL Hilton= Free ride from airport to hotel, then $8 to the pier from hotel in a van. Hilton is maybe 1-2 miles from pier and FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emdia43 Posted August 17, 2007 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Amerisuite on 17th st will shuttle you from airport to hotel and then to pier the next day- free. Taxi from the ship to the airport last summer was $13 plus tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunkie103 Posted August 17, 2007 #8 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Some of our group stayed at the amerisuites and were disappointed in March saying it looked very "tired". We stayed at the HIEX and it was beautiful. Airport shuttle, great new beds with lovely linens, delicious breakfast, well worth the money. Try it.
