Port Everglades Cruise Terminal

Fort Lauderdale (Ft. Lauderdale) is used by several cruise lines as an embarkation and disembarkation point for Caribbean cruises. The actual port in Ft. Lauderdale is known as Port Everglades, and it is the third-busiest cruise port in the world, drawing almost 3 million cruise passengers in its 11 cruise terminals.

ADDRESS: 2026 Eller Drive
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33136
Travel Time: 2 miles from Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) ; travel time is approximately 5 minutes.  Travel time is approximately 40 minutes to Miami (MIA) Airport.

PARKING: $15 per day (rates as of Sept 2009) Rates are subject to change.

For those that arrive at the port via car, Port Everglades has 3 passenger entrances: Spangler Boulevard, Eisenhower Boulevard, and Eller Drive. There are two large parking garages that cost $15 per 24-hour period in October 2008. The 2,500-space Northport Parking Garage next to the Ft. Lauderdale Convention Center serves terminals 1, 2, and 4. The 2,000-space Midport Parking Garage is closer to terminals 18, 19, 21, 22, 24, 25, and 26.

Airfare Information

Airfare is not included in our pricing.  We are a Cruise and Tour Company and do not offer Air other than what the Cruise line offers.  With most domestic flights you can find much better pricing on your own if you know where to look.  In the case of flying to Los Angeles we can share a couple of things.  If flying from the western states we suggest you check with Southwest Airlines, and JetBlue – these will offer the best prices in most cases.

Southwest services Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).  JetBlue services Long Beach Airport (LGB). 
To book Southwest or JetBlue you must contact them directly or through their websites.

Southwest        http://www.southwest.com/             or   1-800-I-FLY-SWA (1-800-435-9792)

JetBlue             http://www.jetblue.com/                 or    1-800-JETBLUE (538-2583)

Other Airlines

All other airlines may be checked through Search Engines like Expedia.com, Orbitz.com, or Travelocity.com.
ALSO - a newer search engine we like - Mobissimo.com - They search most airlines and other search engines all at once.

When using search engines -
We have found it best to search here, but then try to book directly with the airline for better service.  This is especially true in the case of flight changes, delays, and cancellations – so you don’t get kicked around in these situations.  When push comes to shove, the Airlines treat their direct-booked clients better.
AND -- We always recommend Travel Insurance !

Holland Air Arrangements

If you are flying cross country and arriving the day of the cruise embarkation, we would then suggest you consider the Cruise line air arrangements.  They will guarantee to get you to the ship or the first port of call on their dime.  2. Transfers are not included in their Air prices.  It's worth checking before you decide.   For more help, just call us at DanceFun 1-866-3256-2338 or 1-405-282-8989.
