View of the Port

[Cthy651]

Which of the hotels near Port Everglades have a view of the port?

Still trying to decide which hotel to stay at pre-cruise.

hyatt pier 66, hilton, renaissance and embassy suites (in all cases, depending on how high your room is, what side, etc..)

Rooms on the south side of the Crowne Plaza will have a good view (I'd even guess the best view) of the midport area where Oasis docks. If it's a weekend, then the Oasis or Allure might block the view of the other terminals where Carnival, Celebrity, other RCI ships etc dock. If your room is on the north side, the pool area is on the south side and 4 or 5 floors up, so you can see the port from there.

 

The Princess terminal would best be seen from the Hyatt Pier 66 tower high enough to see over the bridge, or the Renaissance high enough to see over the convention center and cruise terminal, as you'd get a slightly angled view. The Hilton Marina would be looking directly at either the bow or stern of a Princess ship if one was there, and it would block the Oasis/Allure terminal and possibly the terminal next door as well.

The Renaissance has a view of the top of Princess ships but that is about it.

You can see all the ships coming and going from the beach at the Lago Mar.

 

I think you can see them from the brunch room at Hyatt Pier 66.

I stayed at Marriott Beach resort; u can request a room of the port. My wife and I watched Oasis sail out on Sat, then we watched Allure come into port Sunday morning; and sailed her later in the day.

If I was staying at the Marriott Beach, and especially the Lago Mar, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to walk down the beach and watch the ships leave from right beside them at the inlet. You just don't get that kind of view from many ports and one that's not easily accessed if not staying in this area.

That would be my first choice if I had time to watch the ships sail in or out from the beach. I don't think the port views are that exciting.

Thank you all, I booked the Embassy Suites - Mariott looks beautiful, but a little to expensive for my pocketbook.

mine too...i used marriott points once, and one time got a really good rate.

 

the ES is fine....just ask for a room facing the pier...PLUS you're right next to lots of "stuff"

 

enjoy......

Check out the Bahia Mar, last cruise we could watch the ship sail into port and watch the ship leave. From the pool, you could see the Emerald princess at dock. It't about one half hour walk from the Bahia Mar to the port entrance. Great hotel across the street from the beach. We will be staying there next January before our cruise.

It's 1.6 miles from Bahia Mar to the port entrance...you walk fast!

I.6 mile walk in one half hour, no problem for me, ran 2 miles in 12:58 in my last PT test in the Army. Vacations are short, I make the best of them.
