Las Olas BeachFort Lauderdale’s beaches are some of the nicest in the world, and the heart of the beach is Las Olas. Just north of the port, it’s a large, wide white-sand beach with lots of facilities and lined with restaurants and shops. Even if you don’t go to the beach, it’s a good idea to at least take a stroll on the waterfront to get a feel for what Fort Lauderdale has to offer. Checking InMost cruise lines have moved to allow passengers to check in online ahead of time. If you choose to do this, you’ll board with your boarding documents but be able to skip the traditional check-in lines. Your cabin keycard will be in a sealed envelope at your cabin door.

Cross Oak Street Bridge, turn left on Broadway, turn right on Granville, cross bridge and move to left lane. In the event of a last minute change in pier assignments, signage will indicate the assigned terminal for your particular ship.

We'll help you figure things out for your South Florida visit, including the closest airports and hotels to stay at before or after your cruise. They offer service in both Miami or Fort Lauderdale (including airports), so no matter where you are, you can get a ride. We’ve estimated the cost of a ride from certain points of interest below.
Hotels
Even better news is that given the popularity of cruising from Fort Lauderdale, the hotels in the area cater to cruise passengers. A number of them offer up perks like cruise parking or shuttles to the cruise port. Terminal 19Sitting on the south edge of Midport, Terminal 19 offers 1,300′ of berth and a cruise terminal that’s nearly 100,000 square feet. Given the location right next to Terminal 18, there’s also a good chance that one of the world’s largest cruise ships will be right next to your ship on cruise day. By road, the port is accessible from I-595, I-95 and I-75 as well as U.S. 1 and Florida’s Turnpike. The port is the only cruise port in the United States adjacent to an international airport, making it convenient located for cruise passengers traveling by air.
There are plenty of things to see and do when in Fort Lauderdale. Here are a few of our favorite recommendations for cruise passengers passing through town. Jaxson's Ice Cream Parlor & Restaurant (128 S Federal Hwy, Dania Beach) makes its frozen dairy treats on-site every day from fresh ingredients.
Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Cruise Parking (Where to Park): Prices, Profiles, & Map
If you want reassurance that you will have parking, choose privately run lots such as Park By The Ports, located in Dania Beach, where the Fort Lauderdale airport is; it's right next to the cruise port. A shuttle will take you to your cruise terminal, and you can reserve a spot in advance. Other options are Park N’ Go, and Parkway Parking, which offer the best prices.
Farther away but still accessible are Miami International, just under 30 miles south, and Palm Beach International (PBI), which is 50 miles north. If you're traveling to Miami, look for flights on American, Delta, Frontier, Sun Country and United. From Palm Beach, fly Allegiant, American, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, Southern Airways Express, Southwest, Spirit and United.
Parking Fees
Please pay to park at your cruise terminal's designated parking area and simply take a short walk to your ship; no need for shuttles. Exit the airport and follow signs for I-595 East/Port Everglades. Continue to the last exit on I-595 East and follow the signs to Port Everglades. This will automatically take you to the Port Everglades security entrance. From there, follow the directional signs for your designated ship's pier terminal. Disney Cruise Line is in the midst of its largest expansion ever and opening our second, year-round home port is an important milestone.

One of oddest things you’ll notice on your cruise is that everyone can’t wait to board the ship when you depart, but are just as eager to get off the ship when it gets back home. If you are assigned a check-in time, then you should aim to arrive at that time. If you’re a cruise passenger, it doesn’t get any easier than letting someone else worry about the driving and simply being dropped off or picked up after your cruise.

They stop at 14 points of interest, including The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale and the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort. You can hop on and off throughout the day and water taxis run every 25 to 35 minutes. There’s an all day pass, evening and multi-day pass available for purchase. The All Day Pass is valid between 10AM-10PM on the Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood Express Route and costs $40 for adults, and $35 for seniors and members of the military. Tickets for children aged 5 to 11 is $20 and it’s free for children under 5.
The average one-way metered taxi fare from FLL to Port Everglades is between $15 and $17. The fee jumps to $75 if you're taking a taxi from MIA and it's $130 to $160 for a taxi ride from PBI, which is about an hour from the port. Most cabs accept credit cards, but always ask before getting in. As your packing for your trip, don't forget to bring any credit cards that confer lounge benefits. For example, while FLL doesn't have a Priority Pass lounge, it does offer a credit at Kafe Kalik in Terminal 4. Your Chase Sapphire Reserve® and Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card come with a Priority Pass membership (enrollment required) — as do many other credit cards.
In other words, if you don’t want the possibility of having to wait around to board, then arrive later in the window. Before you can get onto the ship, you have to check in and pass through security. The good news is that it’s no big deal and in most cases can be done in 15 minutes or less. As you approach the port, you’ll see the signs for the passenger drop-off and pick-up areas.
While the period between May and November may not offer the most comfortable weather, you will find better hotel deals. There are also fantastic events, like the Wilton Manors Halloween Experience and the Hollywood Beach Latin Festival in August. Although cruises depart Fort Lauderdale throughout the year, summer and fall months are most prone to rain.
