Fort Lauderdale taxi and shopping?

[mrrick747]

We are arriving in Fort Lauderdale for a Celebrity Cruise out of Fort Lauderdale, I read that the port is only a few miles from the airport and was curious about a few things. Is there a shuttle or is a taxi best bet and cost? With that in mind, I wondered about a liquor store enroute or in the airport and also a store to pick up a case of Pepsi? I could travel with all this ( pack the liquor and carry on the soda) but is there any other reasonable option?, thanks, Rick

the cruise terminal is quite close--not more then 10-12 min traffic getting to the port --i would take a taxi cause its the easiest--fare 10-12 i would guess--ask the cab driver to stop at a liquor store so you can make your purchases

have a great sail

We asked the taxi driver to stop at the nearest store to pick up Pepsi. Are you flying in on a Sunday? Dont know if STate stores are opened then. Better find out before you get there.

For anyone that has had the taxi stop enroute,do they stop and restart the meter or does the liquior suddenly cost 5-10 bucks more??? :confused: I was thinking of stopping on the way to my hotel the day before my cruise so I wouldn't have to go back out.
