royalcruz Posted December 5, 2014 #530 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Does anyone have any preference based on personal experience. We are coming in the day before our cruise and are looking to stay on property for most of the day an just relax. I haven't stayed in either hotel but have been on both properties a bunch of times. I would prefer Hyatt Pier 66 if you are just going to hang out and relax. The tropical pool area is really pretty, and you can take a nice walk around for a half hour without leaving the property; yup, it's that big. The Sheraton is no longer the Sheraton. B Ocean is taking over. A year from now it might be really nice after some renovations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxi, Uber, rental car, or limo would be your choices. Public bus is too complicated from there but is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzcyberella Posted December 5, 2014 #532 Share Posted December 5, 2014 This is my SP and my 20th wedding anniversary, and we're doing it up!! We're driving (yes, I said HE'S DRIVING) to Ft Lauderdale, we'll spend a night in MS, Tallahassee, and then we're going to get to Ft. Lauderdale. :p He says that this is only part of our adventure, and getting there will be fun as well as the cruise. This is our first trip on Celebrity; hopefully not the last. We've gotten our excursions, and I've got a couple of spa days that I'm looking forward to enjoying. :D We'll celebrate our 20th in St. Maarten. Our first cruise was our 10th, and we've been enjoying them every since.!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccio Posted December 6, 2014 #536 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Looking at the hampton inn/cypress creek.Thoughts? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app Stayed there for a night in September when we returned to Fort Lauderdale but our condo renovation wasn't done. Typical Hampton Inn with a very pleasant staff but not at all close to the port and not exactly convenient to 'downtown' Fort Lauderdale. If you have a car (and I can't imagine staying there without one), it is about 10 miles to Port Everglades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanaire Posted December 6, 2014 #537 Share Posted December 6, 2014 First, I want to apologize for asking a question that has probably been answered numerous times here. However, I couldn't find the answers (too many pages to search through). How much is cab fare from FLL airport to the cruise port? How much does Carnival charge for taking their shuttle to the cruise port? I want to save whatever I can so that I can spend it on the cruise. Thanks! :cool:Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon Sent from my SM-G900V using Forums mobile app I suggest that you also check out one way car rentals. Shop it around and you can find some incredible deals. Last July our friends found a full size from Port Canaveral to Canton, OH for less than $15 a day, including miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app I agree with Capriccio...only do Hampton Cypress Creek with a car, or expect to pay high taxi fares and eat delivery food.

We are picking up a rental car after arriving at airport, then turning it back in the morning of the cruise. Was just wondering if a cab to the port would be cheaper than the Carnival shuttle. You answered my question. :cool:Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalcruz Posted December 7, 2014 #545 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Which hotel would you choose?? Embassy Suites or Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina They are both nice. Embassy is closer to stores and restaurants and includes breakfast and happy hour drinks/snacks. All the rooms are mini-suites, and there is a very large atrium lobby. Hilton Marina has a larger more resort-like property, overlooks the port from south facing upper tower rooms, and is next to a Water Taxi stop. There is a nice tiki bar next to the pool, which also serves food. So it depends on what you are looking for. If the price was the same...If I got in early and wanted a relaxing resort day at the pool. I'd go for the Hilton. Otherwise I'd go with the Embassy; they have a pool too and it's more convenient, but it's harder to find deals there.

Pooh8941 Posted December 8, 2014 #546 Share Posted December 8, 2014 We just added a cruise to make a b2b in Jan 2015 and now find our go to hotels are booked (Hilton Marina, Embassy Suites and Doubletree at Subset). We are looking for suggestions of comparable hotels close to the water taxi and restaurants. Thank you for suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Renaissance on SE 17th St. It's between Hilton Marina and Embassy Suites, and it's very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalcruz Posted December 9, 2014 #549 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I will check it out. Thank you for replying. You provide an invaluable service.:) Thank you. Also Marriott Residence Inn is taking over the Il Lugano. It's about 7 miles north of the port (so more taxi fare) but it's very nice, close to water taxi and a bunch of restaurants and 2 blocks from beach (Fort Lauderdale). It's great for between cruises because there are washers and dryers in the units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypopper Posted December 9, 2014 #550 Share Posted December 9, 2014 My husband and I are cruising out of Ft. Lauderdale in January, we are wondering where is a decent and reasonably priced place to stay? We will be flying in a couple of days early, and would like to spend a little time on the beach. Does it pay to get a place on the beach or get a place farther away and rent a car. I am also thinking that taxi's might be cheaper than a car rental or shuttle?
