• How can I get from Ft. Lauderdale airport to Port of Miami and then return to airport w/o spending $$$$$$?

• Answer:

  Check with your cruise line to see if they have a deal with a specific shuttle company. If not, there are several shuttles that pick up outside arrivals. Prices vary & some have special deals for two or more. If you have lots of time & don't mind carrying your own luggage the Tri Rail service is also an option. [Less than about $6.00 each way per person] However, you must keep in mind that you have to walk from the terminal to the bus stop, way over to the left of arrivals [with baggage] wait up to 45 minutes or even more for the shuttle to the Dania Beach Tri Rail station and then wait 30 minutes or longer for the Tri Rail.(weekend waits are two hours) Once you're on the train, you have to take it South to the MetroRail transfer station. [in Miami] Then get on the MetroRail (another train) [$1.50 ] and then take that to the Government Center Station. [Downtown Miami] Once you're there you can take a cab a short distance to the port. [If you're trying for the Jack Benny tightwad record you can even get a port bus nearby - ask at the Gov't Center info desk for location - for a $.50 transfer fee purchased when you board Metro-Rail].
