Yes, they are the same, assuming you're arriving at the FLL airport. Take a cab. Runs $7-8 and takes 10 minutes. Couldn't be easier.

Because this is a holiday sailing and airline costs are usually very expensive, You might consider booking through the cruise line. You can compare costs yourself and decide. You can always cancel the cruiseline air if you find something cheaper after you book. Also, due to any weather related travel concerns, you may consider arriving into FLL a day early.

Amerisuites and the Embassy Suites in FLL both offer free airport/ship port shuttle.

I would also suggest you arrive in FLL a day early. I live in Buffalo and we can never count on the weather, especially in the winter. One bad storm and you could miss the ship.

I always book on priceline for FLL and have gottend great rates. Usually bid from $40 - $53 and have gotten Embassy Suites. each time Three star/downtown location on Priceline. The earlier you book the better, especially for the holidays. Rates will be higher than so start bidding around $60.

Really like Embassy SUites. Shuttle from the airport to the hotel, free breakfast and cocktail party in the evening and shuttle to the pier :dance

Can't ask for more than that. NIce suites and convenient location to the pier.

Have a great holiday cruise :jump

Marion - tell us about your cruises! Noticed you have been on Celebrity several times, then went to Princess and others. What did you think of the Millennium compared with the other ships? Did you bring kids?

MSKimberly - we would have liked to go for the Christmas cruise, but looking at our budget, the sailings in January were much more affordable. Have a great time!
