transfer mia to hotel in ft. lauderdale

[pawlett47]

We are flying into MIA from London the day before our cruise which departs Ft. Lauderdale. We need transport from Miami airport to our hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. Should we just pick up a shuttle or taxi at the airport or is it better to pre-book over the internet? Thanks

You're staying at the Yankee Clipper if I'm not mistaken. You might try emailing them to see if they offer shuttle service from Miami. If they don't, the SuperShuttle would probably be the least expensive. Have a wonderful cruise!

Penny forgot to add that the "SuperShuttle" is a service at most US airports. They use minivans and charge per person. You can get one outside by the taxi area and no reservations are required. Worst case, you can take a taxi. Ft Lauderdale is not terribly far from Miami, but the shuttle would be less expensive.

But as Penny mentions, contact your hotel and inquire about transportation from Miami airport. They may have service if they know when you are due to arrive.

Thankyou both for your replies - I took your advice and contacted the hotel but they do not provide a shuttle so I will get one at the airport. I would just like to say how helpful everyone is on this site. Hopefully I won't need to bother you with any more questions before the cruise. we are really looking forward to sailing on an American ship, If the passengers are as friendly as on here we will have a great time . best Wishes Janet
