canadarocks Posted October 16, 2014 #26 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Thank you both! We used Park N GO last year and this is MUCH cheaper. Just reserved for next year and it was only $4 a night! :cool: I'm pretty sure we paid about $170, and we're paying $90 at the Embassy Suites next time. And that is self-parking, so there will be no issue with the keys. Thanks for clarifying Griller. Not sure why there was confusion though....

jak378 Posted October 16, 2014 #27 Share Posted October 16, 2014 What did you find disagreeable about a night in FLL? Just curious. Never been to FLL. I guess I should apologize. I did not mean to malign FLL, I was speaking more of avoiding a lot of hassle of transferring to a hotel, long before rooms are normally ready, spending another day in a travel mode, and then having to leave the next day. It was simply much more convenient at least to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandatsea Posted October 18, 2014 #29 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Embassy Suites just outside the port gates on 17th/Causeway, its not covered but we always park there, free fairly prompt shuttle and about $5 a day if you book it through unitedairportparking dot comNo I have no connection with them apart from being a satisfied customer! The parking lot would be located at the Embassy Suites? Just wanted to be sure we understand correctly the actual place we would park. They must have a big parking lot. We usually park at the Pier but this sounds much better :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlettptista Posted February 10, 2015 #30 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I use them too. Just booked for December; 8 days $39 total. The reviews for that site don't seem to be showing a place by embassy suites ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandatsea Posted February 10, 2015 #32 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The reviews for that site don't seem to be showing a place by embassy suites ... We used the Embassy Suites parking area from 1-25-15 to 2-5-15 for our Coral Princess Panama Canal cruise. The shuttle took us to Pier #2 and after the cruise was over, we went thru Customs & called the shuttle service phone number & the shuttle picked us up. An inexpensive parking solution, would recommend it to anyone. Just book your parking thru the site that Pia mentioned. We paid $51.86 for 11 days self park & did not have to leave our keys with anyone which we was not going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr and Mrs CIQ Posted February 11, 2015 #33 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Last October we stayed at the Embassy suites and they (the hotel) wanted to charge us $17.00 per day for parking while on our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in December, but didn't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pia1913 Posted February 11, 2015 #37 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) I'm Apprehensive to book via United, the reviews are really sketchy Reviews by whom? I parked there in December and our friends parked there in January and again last week. Easy shuttle to the ship and easy shuttle back. Are you sure you're talking about parking at Embassy Suites?

Pia1913 Posted February 11, 2015 #39 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just Google the company name, plenty of very questionable reviews, the lot looks sketchy. So I did and nothing about Embassy came up. I parked my car right outside the front door of the hotel and there it remained for 8 days. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Apprehensive to book via United, the reviews are really sketchy Per my review above about parking at the Embassy Suites parking lot behind the hotel, nothing " sketchy" about that parking lot at all. We picked our car up only 6 days ago & nothing was wrong with parking there. Scarlettptista............not sure where you are getting your info from, all we can do is report how the parking was when we was there which is more up to date. Can't get much recent than 6 days ago. Unitedairportparking dot com does have many cities where they have lots located. You have to click on the Embassy Suites location to reserve there. Maybe some of the reviews you are speaking of are from other parking areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandatsea Posted February 11, 2015 #42 Share Posted February 11, 2015 http://m.yelp.com/biz/united-airport-parking-fort-lauderdale Unless we are missing something, we only see 1 review from Ned S. from the link you provided giving the parking area we are talking about a 5 star rating.This is from his review on the parking lot behind the Embassy Suites that we copied & pasted here: From Ned S review: I used United Airport parking for my 11 day cruise from Ft Lauderdale. The cruise parking was the Embassy Suite hotel. The price was great, service great, and security for my vehicle was also great. Very very pleased. All the other reviews are from different parking lots. Embassy Suites handles all the traffic there, not an independent person. Each time we cruise from Port Everglades, we will use Embassy Suites parking area booked thru Unitedairportparking dot com . You have current reviews from Pia & us, only you can make the decision whether to park at an excellent lot or not and save a bunch of money in the process.

I know Pia.............. told Scarlet in my last post only 1 review was regarding Embassy Suites parking lot & that guy gave it 5 stars for being excellent. Scarlet provided our proof that she is looking at the wrong parking areas & like you said, you are a local & I used to live nearby :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer52 Posted February 14, 2015 #46 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I just booked parking for my cruise on Feb. 28Th. Is there someone there at the Embassy Suited parking lot from United Parking to check in with and show you where to park. Or do you just put your receipt in your car window and park anywhere?

Is there someone there at the Embassy Suited parking lot from United Parking to check in with and show you where to park. Or do you just put your receipt in your car window and park anywhere? You drive up to the front door, just as if you're checking in. You then present your paid receipt to one of the guys out front. There will be several. He will then give you instructions on where to park your vehicle. We have HC placard, so we parked right at the front door. I loved that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer52 Posted February 15, 2015 #50 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The Oasis doesn't have a Aft cabin that I can afford like the other ship classes do. So I have to settle for a mid ship balcony cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
