Rental pre or post cruise in Fort Lauderdale?

Hi all

Just wondering if I should get a rental car while in Fort Lauderdale
before or after our Princess Cruise this coming February. We will be
staying at the Courtyard Fort Laudale Airport & Cruise Port. I do
understand that they have a shuttle service to and from the airport,
as well as Port Everglades. Please reply with an answer etiher way.

Thanks
Michael

How long is your stay before and after? If its only a few hours I'd say no, but
if its an entire day then I'd say its worth it.

After spending a few days recently in FLL, I would say depending on your
length of stay, there are numerous things to do and see without renting a
car.

A wonderful bus system will take you almost anywhere ( seemed to run
frequently )
Water shuttle will take you on the waterways ( which is a good way to see
some of FLL)

What sailing are you on? We're on the Caribbean Princess Feb 26th. For
one night you probably don't need a car. We went to FL 2 nights early
the last cruise and still got along fine with our feet and the water
taxi. Helen

We will be getting into Ft. Lauderdale at about 5:30 or 6pm on
Saturday and then will be boarding the bost the next afternoon. When
returning we will be in Ft. Lauderdale most of the day on Sunday and
until 3 or 4pm on Monday.

Thanks

We stayed there the night before our Zuiderdam cruise last month, nice
place but the only place within walking distance is a fancy seafood
restaurant and the sport fishing hall of fame,anything else will require a
car or taxi. Next time we will probably stay at the Embassy Suites.
