cruzin23 Posted October 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2004 For my January 2005 cruise out of Miami, I decided to fly into FLL because it was much cheaper. However, now I am having trouble finding a cheap way to Miami from FLL. We are going a day early, so the cruise line transfers won't help. Options such as taking a taxi or limo service seem to be pretty expensive (plus I'm too young to rent a car) so I was just wondering if anybody ever took the public transportation services (Tri-Rail, MetroRail, MetroMover, etc) to get from FLL to their hotel in Miami. I had looked into it and it's super cheap, just though I'd like to get some input from anybody who had any experience with it... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jleq Posted October 8, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2004 If you haven't selected a Miami hotel, you can stay in FLL...take a cab back to the airport and take Carnival's shuttle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted October 8, 2004 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I agree with the above poster...stay in FLL at an airport hotel (since most of them have free shuttle service fromt he airport. Use biddingfortravel for a cheap place. In the morning head back to the airport and take the shuttle. BUT- for what the shuttle will cost I am sure you can find a town car to get you back and forth. try [url]www.larryslimo.com[/url] and see what they will charge for just a car. to take the tri rail you will need a lot of patience. You will walk there from the airport carrying your luggage. Take the train all the way to Miami then grab a cab to get you to the Hotel..(unless you stay at the Wynham which is right across the street) then on the way back get off the ship- take a cab to the tri rail. one way is less then 5 bucks. look over the site and see if its for you [url]http://www.tri-rail.com/system_map/index.htm#[/url] also the train does not ride every hour...so chec k this schedule to see how it adds up with your flights...you may have to wait an hour or two for the next train. [url]http://www.tri-rail.com/schedules_fares/stm_wend.htm[/url] what time is your flighthome? trains leave Miami at 9:13 Dont even think you could catch that train) or 11:13 ( yes) which will put you in the FLL airport around noon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
