Orlando To Port Everglades Transport
My wife and I have just signed up for HAL's ms Statendam's 16-day Holiday
trip through the Panama Canal. We depart Ft. Lauderdale on Dec 21st, but instaed of flying right to FLL on the 20th, we have considerdd flying to Orlando on the 19th and visiting Epcot on the 1st. What options are available for transport from Orlando to Port Everglades (on the 21st?)? Thanks! -Tim P.S. Looking forward to my first cruise of more than 7 days! |

Orlando To Port Everglades Transport
We have driven ourselves from Orlando to FLL several times in a rental car.
The drive is 3 1/2 to 4 hours via I 95, a littke shorter if you take the Turnpike (toll road). The last time we booked a mid-sized car on line from Budget in February, 2009. I think the cost was about $35.00 plus tax and gas. There is no drop charge on Budget, and you can drop it at FLL (airport) and take the free shuttle to the port. This is much cheaper than any transport you might find from Orlando to Port Everglades, as long as you don't mind driving and the highway was in great shape.

I have also rented a car and driven this route. It was cheap and easy. Plan on getting hooked on longer cruises; I find 28 to be a nice number of days. Give serious consideration to B2B cruises. There is a special feeling to watching everybody else get off while you relax over a leisurely breakfast and then lean on the rail and watch the real world go hustling by as you stay in vacation mode. It's one of the better feelings in life (VBG). Harry Cooper |

You want to fly into Orlando on the 19th, your cruise departs Ft. Lauderdale yet want to visit Epcot on the first of the next month? Won't that put you in the middle of the Panama Canal? Wouldn't it be easier to do Epcot on the 19th or 20th of the month previous? Which one of us is in the Twilight Zone? ;-) -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M.
