tjmaher Posted February 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I thought that I would find a threat on here for pre-cruise hotel stays in Fort Lauderdale, but I didn't (probably my eyes). BUT if anyone could recommend one I would great appreciate it. Also, and recommendations for a day in Fort Lauderdale. All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

mmckm Posted February 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2016 There are plenty of hotels close to the port. We always have stayed at the holiday inn express on 17th. They have airport shuttle and a cab to the pier is about $10 to $12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsSweetie Posted February 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Go to the "North American Homeports" heading. Select "Florida Departures". Use the Search button to search for "Ft. Lauderdale" (effectively weeding out Jaxville & Miami info). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaH Posted February 25, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2016 We always like the Renaissance...good location and you can walk to the top of the drawbridge and get a great view of all the ships in port. I believe the hotel was remodeled a few years back. It is most likely more expensive than some but worth it in our opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted February 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2016 We always stay at the La Quinta on 26th Street. They have free shuttles from the airport and there is a company in the hotel that sells shuttles to the pier. They also have a free continental breakfast. If you drive, they have free parking while you are on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjd2 Posted February 25, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I agree with the Renaissance. Very nice hotel (it was a few years ago at least) and close to many things to see within walking distance. The Bemini Boatyard is right there and a great place for happy hour.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lax19 Posted February 25, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Last November, we stayed at the Drift Hotel. (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g34227-d7132255-Reviews-The_Drift_Hotel-Fort_Lauderdale_Florida.html). It's a little "boutique" hotel about three or four blocks north of Las Olas Blvd and a block off of the beach. Cab from the airport was about $25 and about the same back to the Port. Easy walk to the night life (restaurants, bars) along the beach. Easy walk to the water taxi stop. The hotel was very quiet, comfortable, tastefully decorated and very relaxing.

Rare Keith1010 Posted February 25, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Do be sure to check out the Florida Departures Board. I would recommend Embassy Suites on 17th. Nice location. And they serve a terrific breakfast. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great place to get your snacks and wine for the cruise and anything else that you forgot to pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
