Moving within Ft.Lauderdale
 
I am going to have a shuttle from Palm Aire to Royal Vista daily.
While at Royal Vista area, will I be able to get to some places of attractions?
Is there any transportation that can be used conveniently in Ft.L?
What about water taxi? Where can I get using it?
Thanks

Answers to your questions in order:
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Anywhere the canals go.

On a more serious note, other than land taxis, you can get some city buses but I wouldn't advise it. The water transportation always seems a bit spotty to me. Land and canal traffic in Ft Lauderdale is usually pretty busy, so whatever you plan to do, allow plenty of enroute time to get there and back. Good luck.

The water taxi as I recall was very slow getting around. We used it while in FLL and it was extremely slow getting around.

Really?? Water traffic?

You realize that neither Palm Aire nor Royal Vista are really in Fort Lauderdale. Both are actually in Pompano Beach. Royal Vista is a lovely timeshare on Ocean Blvd in Pompano Beach but as for attractions - I think you'd better consider renting a car. Check out Pompano's city website for more info http://ci.pompano-beach.fl.us
