Embassy Suites-17th Street, Fort Lauderdale

[NHNEV2003]

We just got back from Florida yesterday after sailing on the Carnival Conquest 11/24-12/2):

 

We stay at the Embassy Suites on 17th Street--have stayed there pre and post cruise for 9 years.

 

We like the location, Publix, Total Wine, and Crown Liquor are all within walking distance. Also a good amount of restaurants are nearby as well. Free breakfast and daily Manager's Reception (free, not top shelf liquors) drinks from 5:30-7:30PM.

 

Hotel price was around $200.00 (which we're fine with).

 

We took the hotel shuttle to the cruise port (they try to put everybody that are going to a specific ship in one van, but it doesn't always work out), and also back from the port to the hotel for our stay Sunday night (we made a trip to the airport for one couple and then went to the hotel). (Even with a few stops and a trip to the airport, we were back at the hotel by 9:10AM)

 

The total cost for two people, round trip (11/24 & 12/2) was $38.16. (Verified on my credit card statement)

Thanks for the info.  It seems the shuttle is long and expensive.  Doesn't make any sense at all. All of these stops, sharing, and it cost triple what an UberX would have been for the roundtrip.

$19.00 each way for two people for us was fine. We watch our money but the additional cost of a few bucks for a ride was not a big deal to us.

 

We were the first to be dropped off for our ship pre-cruise, and on the return, the other pickups and trip to the airport was actually enjoyable. 🙂

Thanks for the feedback -glad it all worked out.  Uber or a taxi would have saved you a few buck on each trip but not enough to worry about

Love hotel cheaper to take taxi or Uber to ship
