Flying into FLL because the fare was better, then sailing out of PortMiami rather than Port Everglades - it's a common combination, and also a common source of confusion. This page exists to clear that up: your flight lands in Fort Lauderdale, your ship boards in Miami, and those are two different ports about 27 miles and 42 minutes apart.

We see this constantly enough that it's worth stating directly - Port Everglades is Fort Lauderdale's own cruise port, right there near FLL, while PortMiami is the one further south with the lettered terminal system, A through J. If your cruise documents say PortMiami, don't let a driver take you to Port Everglades by mistake.

Once we've confirmed you're headed to PortMiami and which lettered terminal your line uses, the drive down is straightforward - I-95 or the turnpike depending on traffic that morning, timed to your cruise line's boarding window rather than a generic hour-before rule.

Pickup Procedure

Your chauffeur meets your flight at FLL's arrivals level, positioned at the door closest to your baggage carousel, or waits inside at baggage claim with a name sign for meet-and-greet. The 60-minute free wait runs from actual landing - once your luggage is loaded, we confirm your PortMiami terminal letter and route directly there, not to Port Everglades.

Wait - I flew into FLL, does that mean I'm sailing from Port Everglades?

Which PortMiami terminal do I need?

Depends on your line: Royal Caribbean Terminal A, Norwegian B/C, Carnival D/E/F, MSC AA/AAA, Virgin V. We'll confirm it with you before pickup.

What's the fare from FLL to PortMiami?

The FLL to PortMiami fare is $175.

How long does the drive take on an embarkation morning?

About 42 minutes under normal conditions, though we build extra time into the pickup for terminal traffic near boarding windows - tell us your cruise line's suggested arrival time and we'll plan the pickup around it.
