So, you're heading to Fort Lauderdale and need to get to the airport? It's a pretty straightforward journey, and whether you're coming from nearby or a bit further afield, the key is to follow the signs.
If you happen to be arriving at Port Everglades, which is quite close by, the directions are super simple. From Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) itself, it's just about a 5-mile hop. You'll want to exit the airport and look for signs directing you towards I-595 East, which will lead you straight to Port Everglades. Keep going until you reach the very last exit on I-595 East, and then just follow the signs for Port Everglades. This route will guide you right to the port's security entrance. Once you're there, you'll see directional signs pointing you towards your specific ship's terminal. It’s designed to be pretty intuitive, so don't stress too much about it.
Now, if your starting point is Miami International Airport (MIA), it's a bit of a longer drive, around 30 miles. The route involves taking 836 East to get onto I-95 North. From I-95 North, you'll then want to take the exit for 595 East. Follow 595 all the way to its end, and from there, the signs for Port Everglades will take over and guide you the rest of the way. It’s a common route for many travelers, so you’ll find plenty of signage to keep you on track.
It’s worth noting that Port Everglades is located at 1850 Eller Drive, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33316. While these directions are primarily for accessing the cruise terminal at Port Everglades, they also give you a good sense of the airport's proximity and the general road network in the area.
