Terminal 4 anchors the southern edge of the Northport cluster at Port Everglades and handles Celebrity Cruises departures from Fort Lauderdale. Like its neighbor Terminal 2, it rewards drivers who know the port map: the SE 17th Street causeway entrance puts you at the Terminal 4 curb quickly, while the main Eller Drive gate - correct for the Midport megaship berths - means a longer loop through the working harbor. On a morning when a Celebrity ship is turning around alongside three other vessels, that loop costs real time.
Celebrity passengers skew toward the experience-first end of cruising, and the transfer should match. Your chauffeur confirms the pickup the day before, tracks any inbound flight, and has the luggage in the trunk before you have finished checking your boarding passes. From FLL the run is about three miles; from a Las Olas or beach hotel, five to fifteen minutes depending on the drawbridges. We aim you at the terminal for the opening of Celebrity check-in - typically 10:30 to 11:00 AM - so you clear security while the building is still quiet.
For the return, Terminal 4 debarkation benefits from the same 17th Street access: your driver stages in the pickup lane as your luggage tag group is called, and you are away in minutes rather than competing for curb space. Onward legs are all fixed-fare - from $89 back to FLL or MIA, from $129 for long-distance runs to Palm Beach, and from $75 for a post-cruise night at a local hotel. Six vehicle classes cover everything from a couple celebrating an anniversary to a three-generation family with fourteen bags.
