We like to walk. We're both letter carriers, so It's no big deal. We pack in backpacks, and to us a mile walk to the ship is preferable to dealing with the hassle of a shuttle or cab. We've walked to and from cruise ships in New york and over the bridge in Miami. A good way to burn a few calories before or after consuming too many calories.

Are there any hotels close enough to the port in Ft Lauderdale to allow us to walk to and from? A mile to a mile and a half is about our range. Also, is it pedestrian friendly enough to allow this? Thanks.
