What is the best way to get from Port Everglades to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport?

From Port Everglades to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is about 5 miles by road, cruise-terminal area to airport. The morning a cruise ends is the busiest hour a port has: thousands of people and their luggage reach the same road inside a short window, and the difference between a good morning and a bad one is whether a named car is waiting at an agreed point or you are joining a queue.

Port Everglades says the airport is minutes away on U.S. 1, the only seaport in the country next to an international airport, and that people collecting returning guests may wait free in its cell phone lot until called. Porters hired by a cruise line can deliver bags to private cars, taxis and limousines at the terminal, and luggage cannot be left or stored at the port (Port Everglades, n.d.).

Give the desk your ship, the terminal if your cruise line has told you which, and your flight. The pickup is set backwards from the time you need to be at the airport, not forwards from when the ship docks, and the captain is at the agreed point with your name. Say how many cases: an Executive Sedan holds 2; a Luxury SUV holds 5; an Executive Sprinter holds 12.

The fare beside this page is for 5 miles, with the 20% service charge already in it. The fare for your trip is set when the exact addresses are routed, and you see it before you book. Booking the ride to the ship and the ride home together is one conversation and one confirmation.
