Ft. Lauderdale - calling a cab after your cruise
10:40 flight? Too risky, in my opinion. What will you do if you miss
it? Don't expect any empty seats on the later flights, espcially not with six people to take care of. You would have a long ugly day at at uncomfortable airport, and possibly an unexpected extra night in Ft. Lauderdale if you can't make the flight. Not a fun way to end a cruise vacation. |

Ft. Lauderdale - calling a cab after your cruise
Thus spake "Marsha L" :
Tom... one never knows FOR SURE... I was on a cruise earlier this month that was from FLL... when I came out of the door I asked for transportation to the airport and got right onto a 12 pax van that had a trailer in back for luggage. $7. Reasonable since there was just one of me. There were people arriving at the airport about the same time who were taking flights about 10:30, but I wouldn't want to count on it. Last time I was with someone else, and I think we paid $12 for a cab, a dispatcher with a walkie talkie called them for us, we had a real time consideration that day. The ship had been very much delayed being cleared and we had a 10:20 fight. We got to the gate in time, the flight was late taking off anyway. Stars, meet Marsha. Marsha, allow me to introduce you to Stars. Lucky Stars. Marsha "Tom" wrote in message ... Has anyone called a cab from a ship debarking in Ft. Lauderdale to take them to the airport? How long does it take for a cab to pick you up and get you to the airport? I was looking at a 10:40AM flight out of FLL airport. This would be for 6 people. Any price ideas? Thanks Tom Pittsburgh Pa -- dillon Could have been is in the past Could be is in the future There is only the now |

Ft. Lauderdale - calling a cab after your cruise
Thanks DillonG.
One thing I noticed this trip... when I got to the airport Delta was ONLY allowing people whose flight was within the next two hours to check in inside (and four outside). That was why I knew that there were so many people with flights at or before 10:30... I was THERE by 8:30... didn't have a flight until 6:20... sometimes there aren't as many choices as we'd like, and I had a VERY long day that day. There was another trip when I had a reservation on an afternoon flight, was at the airport VERY early, got put on standby for an earlier flight and got on it. But there were those choices that day... unfortunately not so many between LAS and FLL or MIA. How's Carol doing? You? Marsha "Dillon Pyron" wrote in message ... Stars, meet Marsha.

Ft. Lauderdale - calling a cab after your cruise
Thanks for all the responses. It looks like a cab is cheaper to take than
the bus from the cruise line and it doesn't look too difficult to find a cab. I'll look for a later flight also. That's the last thing I want is to ruin the memories of a good cruise by missing my flight home. Thanks again. Tom Pittsburgh Pa "Tom" wrote in message ...

Ft Lauderdale has water taxis, very raesonible that could probably take you
right dockside to your ship. "Tom" wrote in message ... Thanks for all the responses.

The one thing you never told us, Tom, was what day of the week you are
returning. If it is a day when multiple ships are unloading, you and your friends will probably miss your flights. FLL on a weekend is a bitch. -- DG in Cherry Hill, NJ "Tom" wrote in message ...

Hey, troll, missed you, sweet pea, for the last few days, as you must have
been on a cruise with the cow. Sadly. moron, the OP is RETURNING from a cruise and therefore your misinformation was, as always, useless. Thank you for playing. -- DG in Cherry Hill, NJ "clint" wrote in message ... Ft Lauderdale has water taxis, very raesonible that could probably take you right dockside to your ship.

How's Carol doing? You? Since I don't seem to have put up the latest: She had her second chemo session last Tuesday. An examination by palpation seems to indicate that the tumor has SHRUNK. No nausea, although the hair started coming out Friday (in gobs) and she got shaved on Saturday. Tonight she has definite shiny spots. Marsha "Dillon Pyron" wrote in message .. . Stars, meet Marsha.
