We booked up coming cruise from RCL "Allura of the Seas" Port Canaveral on 8/27/2017. We'll be flying in from Texas and need to find a hotel to the port by walking if all possible? if not, a hotel that is close that offer shuttle to port, any recommendations? Thanks

I think you mean Port Everglades, and there is no hotel within walking distance of Terminal 18 at Port Everglades.

The ship is "Allure of the Seas".

 

As mentioned, there is no hotel within walking distance of Terminal 18. But as commonly discussed here, there are tons of taxis, and the fares are really pretty small. Some, like the very commonly discussed Embassy Suites, have shuttles, for a fee. Dozens of threads here on hotels.

 

The very common recommendation here is to visit sunny.org, which lists all the Ft Lauderdale hotels, with their amenities, like shuttles.

By the way, since you are flying in, and you seem a bit confused, make sure your destination airport is Ft. Lauderdale (FLL). NOT Orlando.

YES YES it is Port Everglades. Thank you Clarea! :)

Thank you Bruce, I'll have to check out sunny.org

 

If you stay near 17th st a taxi is under $20 with tip or some use UBER for less

 

Interesting, i've never use UBER before, Will have to look into that, thank you LHT28 and thank you all that responded!

If you never used Uber before you can probably get some credit for free rides. The Uber fare to the port from a hotel near the port will be cheap. Under $10.00 Port Everglades is very large and secured, there is no walking in and it would take a while.

We especially like Extended Stay America on 17th Street. They provide a free shuttle pickup at the airport, a very pleasant hotel, and $4 shuttle to the port at a time of our choice in the morning. It is close to a bridge you can walk to, to see the ships in port, and there are lots of restaurants and shops very near by.

Look for a hotel on 17th St. Most of them have free shuttles from the airport to the hotel...and then have shuttles from the hotel to the cruise port. Here are a couple of them:

Hilton Marina

Embassy Suites

Extended Stay

Holiday Day Inn Express

and a few more. As the above poster said, there are tons of restaurants, bars, shops, all within walking distance. A lot of us use Trip Advisor to read reviews and see the prices for hotels, excursions, etc. Make sure you put in the correct dates to get the correct prices for your stay.:

No, most of them don't have a free shuttle. For example, from your list, Embassy Suites and Hilton do not. The other two I don't know about, as I haven't stayed there. There are some with a free shuttle (airport or port), but far from "most".
