JohninDC Posted April 15, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Rent a car, put the bags in the trunk, and then go where you want - water taxi, beach, lunch, drinks, shopping, everglades tour, etc. www.sunny.org has lots of tourist info for the FLL area.

royalcruz Posted April 15, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Valuetrips has Hyatt Place between the port and airport for great prices. Check there to see if your date is available. You can walk to restaurants and shops or take Suntrolley to the beach from there. You can drop off your luggage at the desk early in the day if your room isn't ready for checkin.

eandj Posted April 16, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Agree if you can get in Hyatt Pl. go for it. Use valuetrips.com to book at best price. Plus this hotel has airport shuttle and breakfast. I wouldn't stay out by the airport. Nothing to do all day.

Rare geoherb Posted April 16, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'd rather stay close to the water. There's nothing near the airport. We've enjoyed stays at the Hilton Marina. Most hotels will hold your luggage if you arrive early and a room is not ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted April 16, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Just to clarify, the port area is just a few minutes from the airport...stay on SE 17th St and you will be near the airport AND have things to do. The airport hotels on S.R. 84 are really only about 1.5 miles closer to the airport because you have to travel there by roads and not by air.

monicajay Posted April 16, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Most hotels will store your bags as soon as you arrive off the ship, some will also allow you to use facilities like pool or gym until your room is ready. I would also recommend 17th street hotels rather than those classified as airport hotels. 17th street is still very close to the airport but it is also close to the beach and downtown. You can take the local bus (or trolley depending on days and times) to the beach and to Los Olas Blvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
