CaribbeanCrush Posted July 24, 2008 #3 Share Posted July 24, 2008 If you have time you might consider renting a car. It gives you some flexibility. we have always rented from Hertz, they have a drop-off in downtown Miami. From there its a $6 cab ride to the pier.

Pumbaamd Posted July 25, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2008 The shuttles from FLL to MIA are OK. Just make shore that you get a direct van to the pier. Ask the dispatcher and/or driver if you have a direct, nonstop ride. We learned the hard way. Our van stopped at three Miami hotels before we got to the pier. It was an hour and 1/2 unscheduled, unguided, hot tour of Miami. Just make shore you go direct! And have a great cruise! Rick and Deirdra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CroozeAddict Posted July 25, 2008 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2008 If I rent the car and take cab or shuttle to pier from Hertz downtown how do I get back to FLL airport after cruise? Use the RCI post cruise transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivineDivia Posted July 25, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 25, 2008 You can use Go! Aiprot Shuttle http://www.goairportshuttle.com/ You can get a quote on the shared ride shuttle or the private sedan. A taxi will be at least $60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmom893 Posted July 25, 2008 #10 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Rent a car in both directions. We did this--used Entertainment book coupons so it was VERY inexpensive. Alamo to Miami, Hertz home. It worked well since we did a red eye from LAX, and an early evening flight home....somewhere to stash the luggage while we looked around town a bit.

parsleymom Posted July 25, 2008 #11 Share Posted July 25, 2008 We just went out of Miami on June 28th with a group of 40 family/friends. 30 of us stayed in FL the night before. I booked with QLS Transportation (qlsshuttle.com) and they were terrific!!! we got a rate of $9 pp/each wayl They were there on time both in FL and on the return from the port. Nice people, good service, great price!~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribbeanCrush Posted July 25, 2008 #12 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hertz has a free shuttle to the pier. NO WAY!!! Thanks I'll remember that in December! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribbeanCrush Posted July 25, 2008 #13 Share Posted July 25, 2008 If I rent the car and take cab or shuttle to pier from Hertz downtown how do I get back to FLL airport after cruise? We have always taken the RCCL transfer because our flight back home is usually just a few hours after debarking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphakitty Posted July 26, 2008 #16 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Anyone has used the easyexpress shuttle service? We've used Easy Express in the past...they were fine and reasonably priced. Right on time too. We used them from POM to FLL and they were waiting for us when we disembarked. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR Cruisers Posted July 26, 2008 Author #18 Share Posted July 26, 2008 When the first RCI transfer departs from Miami port to FLL? I have a 12:35pm flight back home, it could be possible to arrange the transfer with RCI and catch my flight on time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it is....let the purser know you have an earlier flight and ask for an early debarkation tag or do self assist. Just do your best to get off the ship as early as possible....sometimes the buses have a long wait to fill up before they leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarinerBride Posted July 27, 2008 #20 Share Posted July 27, 2008 We're going to fly into FLL the day before our cruise out of Miami, and we plan to stay at a Miami hotel probably. Any recommendations for hotels nearby, especially any that might have a shuttle from FLL/to the port? Unfortunately, we're only 24, so renting a car would be pretty expensive for us.

GaryfmCol Posted July 27, 2008 #21 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I have just booked for august 29 majesty of the seas. Now, we are wondering how to get to the miami port from Fort Lauderdale Airport. Which is the more reasonable way to get there? Are you travelling with others? We hired a big limo. There were 6 of us and, 6 peoples luggage...which was a load anyway. Dividing up the cost, it was pretty reasonable and, the driver dropped us right in front of the ship with no walking or, hauling of luggage. When we came back, he was exactly where he dropped us off. Squeaky clean easy way to do this...hire him round trip to get you when you come back..the cost is far less considering everything involved and, dividing up the cost...pretty expensive alone however. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
