What is the cheapest way to get from Fort Lauderdale to the port of miami for a cruise to the bahamas?|145366

Southwest doesn_t fly into Miami, it goes to Fort Lauderdale instead, so we won_t have a car, but we need to get to miami for the departure of our cruise. Anyone know the easiest and cheapest way to do that?

For lots of options, and suggestions from people who have done it, go to CruiseCritic.com, click on _Boards_ at the top of the page, then go to _East Coast Departures_.

You can also go to the FLL airport website and click on _ground transportation_ to see what options there are.

Using the cruise line transfer service is probably a good option, although you_ll have to wait for the bus to fill up both ways.

If you_re going down the day before [which is always a good idea] you can stay in a hotel in Miami that has a shuttle to the port. Get a _Super Shuttle_ van from FLL to your Miami hotel.

Your best bet is to go through the cruise line that you are taking your cruise on. Its also more beneficial for your trip that you use their shuttle services. By doing so, the cruise line knows what flight your coming in on and if the flight is delayed, they will know about and do whatever they can to accommodate you. More then likely, there are lots of people in the same position as you flying into FLL for a cruise out of Miami. I know that Carnival Cruise lines has a shuttle service from FLL to the Port of Miami for a fee. DO NOT take a taxi unless its your last resort. I work in downtown fort Lauderdale, and have taken a taxi from work to the airport on several occasions. A short 4 mile trip usually costs w/tip about 20 dollars!! So for a trip from the airport to the port of Miami will cost you a LOT of money.

Not off of the top of my head. However when you decide how you want to do it, go to the below website and put in how you plan on doing it. I have found it to be VERY useful and usually quite a bit cheaper than other places I_ve been to. Just click on the link then go to _book travel_ and it is pretty simple from there.

drive, its only like 45 miles, then you can park your car at the pier and pay the daily parking fee.

Check Brisatrips.com, they often have cheaper prices. I normally book my Travel on sites that offer good deals like that one.
Good luck!

There are shuttles that take you from FLL to the Post in MIA for $30.00 A PERSON,
