Creator's Key Takeaways

The first thing you should know is that this isn't a typical cruise where it's just me or one or two other people. But, we're rolling 14 people deep and six of them are little kids.

Now, unfortunately, there were no good flights into Fort Lauderdale or Miami that were available at a reasonable price.

So, I booked to Orlando and just hired a driver.

And that's exactly the point. Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Orlando, they're not so far apart.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Compare prices for flights into both MIA and FLL.
Consider flying into Orlando and driving down to the cruise port.
Check transportation options to other cities to save money.
