A: We general park at the port, except in port Everglades. When leaving on a cruise from Ft. Lauderdale we use Park n Go. They are half the price, convenient, courteous and close.
Answered by JaneandJim on September 16, 2023
A: Park 'N Go gets my vote. Paid $8.99 per day in March 2022 but don't think that's going to happen now. They have a loyalty program that's beneficial as well. On occasion one can get a discount code.

A: There are taxis everywhere. They know when ships are disembarking. The Broward County Sheriffs are directing traffic and getting people in the cabs.

A: We don’t like the wait. We grab a cab.

A: With cruise transfer you get off the ship far earlier than necessary and then wait until the bus is full. with a taxi you go right to your terminal instead of stopping at each terminal. On our current cruise they want us off the ship 4 hours befor... e the flight. it is a ten minute ride to the airport from the cruise terminal.See More

A: You need to set up a check-in time either on the App or website. Things run smoother and faster if you stick to your set check-in time, no more then 15 to 20 min early. Things become back logged with long lines and taking longer because of all those... who who just think they don't need to go at the time they set up and everyone is there when they first open to for check-in!See More
