Did you cruise out of Fort Lauderdale? We have a cruise booked on the Magic. Can you recommend a good hotel with shuttle to the port?

We found that the fastest way to get to your transportation is find your luggage and get a porter. The porters have a separate line for getting through customs.

Another great cruise

Loved Carnival Magic. Crew was awsome. Food was good as well. Had a great time, and can't wait to go cruising again.

Fantastic cruise!
