Until and unless mycruisebus.com is really on line, I'm afraid the only real option is to drive to Port Everglades.

If you park in port, that'll run you something like $15 a day, in addition to the wear and tear on your vehicle, and the tolls on the Turnpike, which were close to $35 roundtrip in March 2012. I hear that there may very well be an increase soon.

There are a number of off-port parking places (mostly close to the airport) that I understand offer rates lower than the $15 per day. These bear considerable research. Since my next several cruises are not from Fort Lauderdale, I haven't honestly dug into this question, at this point.

As a sort of reassurance, the drive is quite easy, though somewhat boring! Count on stopping at the Fort Drum Service Plaza on the Turnpike in both directions. It is almost exactly half-way from TV.
