Fort Lauderdale airport to Port of Miami shuttle

Why so many Miami cruisers land at FLL

Fly the flight you want, then ride to the pier.

PortMiami is in Miami-Dade, but a large share of cruise passengers fly into Fort Lauderdale. The flight they want is there: a nonstop from home, a better arrival time, or a fare that works for the whole family. The catch is getting from Broward to a pier in Biscayne Bay with a week of luggage.

That cross-county run is a core Ace route. A driver meets you at FLL, loads the bags and takes the whole party to the terminal in one vehicle, so nobody has to sort out trains, transfers or a second car.

I-95 traffic by time of day

The distance holds. The traffic does not.

The ride follows I-95 south from Broward into Miami-Dade, then crosses into downtown and over to the port island. The distance stays the same, but the time on the road does not. Weekday rush hours are slow in both directions, and sailing mornings add cruise traffic near downtown and the port.

That is why Ace doesn't print one ride time for this route. Dispatch looks at the hour you land, the day of the week and the check-in time on your boarding documents, then sets a pickup that gets you to the terminal with room to spare.

Several Broward hotels, one coach to the ship

Every hotel, one coach, one ride south.

Groups sailing together don't always sleep in the same place. One family might be on Fort Lauderdale beach, another near Las Olas and a third at an airport hotel. Ace can collect everyone in one coach with a stop at each hotel, then drive the whole group south to PortMiami.

List each hotel when you request the quote. Every stop is priced into the trip, and dispatch sets the order and the pickup times so the last hotel isn't left waiting.

Private shuttle or a shared seat for this run

On a longer run, families tend to go private.

A shared seat suits one or two travelers with light bags who are happy to ride with other cruise passengers. Because this is a longer run, a private vehicle appeals to families and groups: it leaves when your party is ready and goes straight to your terminal. Unsure which fits? Ask dispatch to quote both.

Private vehicles come in three sizes:

• VanSprinter van with a driverYour party, straight to your terminal
• 15 to 20MinibusFor 15 to 20 people
• 56Full size motorcoachFor up to 56 people

The return leg: PortMiami to FLL

An afternoon flight home leaves the most room.

On the last morning, guests leave the ship through the morning and clear customs in the terminal. Then comes the drive north on I-95 to FLL departures.

Put those three things together when you book your flight home. An afternoon flight leaves the most room. Send dispatch your ship, return date and flight time, and the driver meets you at the terminal curb.
