What hotels do you recommend in Fort Lauderdale? We are looking for something on the beach.

I haven't stayed in FLL yet but we plan on staying at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Resort in October based on some recommendations from the FL Departure board.

Question along those lines - it seems quite a bit cheaper to fly into Ft. Lauderdale than Miami for a cruise- have people done this before for going on a Miami based cruise?

double check the ground transfer to the port, it might be enough to eat up your savings.

Yes, we did that once for a Majesty cruise. Worked out well for us, we were outside the airport waiting for our shuttle 5 minutes after the plane got to the gate. All I remember from the Miami airport is lots and lots of walking. There are several shuttle services that will take you to the Port of Miami from FLL.

Yes. We prefer JetBlue and they fly into FLL and not MIA. From there we book car service from FLL to Miami but shuttles are also an option.

Thanks for the info on that board. Didn't know of it.

Excellent - that's what I'm scheduled to be on is the Majesty - do you recall the cost of the shuttle service to the port?

We were very tight on time, so we had booked a private car service. I cannot remember the cost. If you are not tight on time, then a shared shuttle will be the least expensive. Again, check the Florida Departures board. Many knowledgeable people there.
