legalgirl Posted July 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Cruising the Panama Canal on Holland. Flying to Fort Lauderdale the day before the cruise. Can anyone suggest a good hotel to stay? Also, how far is the Holland America cruise terminal from the airport. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted July 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Check out the Florida forum http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=495 Lots of good hotel & transport info Airport to port 10-15 min drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted July 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Come over to the Florida Departures board, here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=495 Dozens of threads on hotels, transport, distances...everything you need to know about Ft Lauderdale. We stay at the Embassy Suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted July 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Port Everglades is next door to the airport. HAL uses the terminals in center left. Westerdam and Eurodam in this picture. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted July 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 21, 2017 As mentioned the Florida departures board is a great source of information. Like Cruiser Bruce, I often recommend the Embassy Suites in Fort Lauderdale. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted July 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 21, 2017 We always stay at the Embassy Suites pre and post cruise. It is close to the port. Also there is the Harbor Shops right behind the Embassy Suites that has restaurants, some stores, a Publix (grocery store) and Total Wine if you want to buy a couple bottles of wine to take on the ship.

msmayor Posted July 21, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 21, 2017 We've stayed at the Hyatt Place Convention Center which is also in walking distance to the Harbor Shops Center (Total Wine, Publix). We've been able to get good rates going through Value Trips. Free breakfast in the morning and a short cab ride to the port (though they do offer a paid shuttle service).
