kenandlaura06 Posted August 23, 2005 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2005 As our flight will be landing after midnight, we probably want to stay by the airport, but still at a nice place as it will be our wedding night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWog Posted August 23, 2005 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2005 We stayed at the Hyatt Pier 66 www.pier66.com We got it for $95.00 4* Priceline for the night precruise, with great rooms, pools, lounges, restaurants, revolving rooftop. Obviously you won't be able to take advantage of all this, but it was a great property. Only about 5-10 mins from the airport and if you get a room in the tower you can see your ship arrive in the morning - its right across from the piers.

Krazy Kruizers Posted August 23, 2005 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2005 The Airport Hilton is a very nice hotel right by the airport. We stayed there a couple of times. It is about a 10 - 15 minute ride to the pier depending on traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted August 23, 2005 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Forget what I said about a 10 - 15 minute ride to the pier. I know that there are a couple of RCI ships that go out of Ft Lauderdale. Didn't realize that your ship wasn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about a 10 - 15 minute ride to the pier depending on traffic. There is NO Fort Lauderdale Airport Hilton... There used to be, but it's been a Wyndham for some time now and is not a very nice place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissConduct Posted August 23, 2005 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Also stayed at the Wyndam airport last April and was not impressed. Has anyone ever stayed at the Atlantic Sands in Hollywood? We are coming in Oct 28, 1 nite pre cruise, and because of the international boat show and no availibility of reasonably priced room decided to stay in Hollywood, FL.

Southbound Posted August 23, 2005 #7 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Am not familiar with the Atlantic Sands, but we've stayed at the LaQuinta Inn & Suites in Hollywood several times and have always been pleased with the facility. The rooms are very clean and spacious, the staff friendly and accommodating, and they offer a deluxe cont'l breakfast (make your own waffles). In fact, we've just booked a room there for our HAL Christmas/New Year's cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevanb Posted August 23, 2005 #8 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Try AmeriaSuites Fort Lauderdale 1/2 mile from port and all suites perfect for that Wedding Nite>> Embassy Suites like 10 minutes to pier in FT Lauderdale I live down here and I am a TA and put my clients up at either of those.

coiran Posted August 23, 2005 #9 Share Posted August 23, 2005 The Sheraton Airport is a nice place - albeit - a bit far from anything - A good seafood restaurant for a $5 cab ride - The Islamorada Fish Company. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmeriSuites and Embassy Suites are essentially next door to each other, but AmeriSuites is a heavily discounted budget hotel - While it's fine for a pre-cruise night, I would want something a lot nicer for my wedding night! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted August 23, 2005 #11 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I live down here and I am a TA and put my clients up at either of those. :rolleyes: For the wedding night? That speaks volumes for reading the boards and booking online for yourself. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenandlaura06 Posted August 23, 2005 Author #12 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yes, we would like something a little nicer for our wedding night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted August 23, 2005 #13 Share Posted August 23, 2005 kenandlaura, if you search and read Trents posts you'll find the right hotel for your special night. Arriving at midnight, leaving the next day on a cruise, consider the Marriott Rennaisance on 17th Street. ;)http://marriott.com/property/propertypage.mi?marshaCode=FLLBR If I had more time my choice would be the Marriott Harbor Beach or the Lago Mar on the beach in Ft Lauderdale, The solitiude and privacy of Turnberry in Aventura or the Mandarin Oriental in Miami. I couldn't even imagine staying married if I took my wife to Amerisuites on my wedding night. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted August 23, 2005 #14 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I couldn't even imagine staying married if I took my wife to Amerisuites on my wedding night. :eek: LOL, yeah... I would think a $50-60/night hotel on the wedding night would definitely be grounds for an immediate divorce! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenandlaura06 Posted August 23, 2005 Author #15 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yes, I have been reading Trent's posts, they are so helpful. I have a few ideas and we are willing to spend a little more than $60 for the hotel that night :) :) But, not $500, as we won't be in the hotel that long!

Spending someone elses money is easy BUT getting what they want is something a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
