Creator's Key Takeaways

Port Everglades is nowhere near the Everglades in Florida, but it is the port for Fort Lauderdale.

After more than 20 years of cruising, we've learned the best port days are usually the ones we planned ourselves.

It's only 3 miles and as I checked Uber today, it was uh $30 for the entire trip.

We were getting on a transatlantic cruise starting in Fort Lauderdale last year.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check Uber prices closer to your sailing date for accurate costs.
If flying from Orlando, consider the Brightline train as an alternative to driving.
Park at the port or check off-site parking options and compare costs.
Arrive early to avoid long shuttle lines and construction delays.
