Rare wolft927 Posted December 30, 2020 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2020 So i am heading out of Port everglades in december 2021 and just found a really good deal for a pre cruise room. Renaissance Hotel about a half mile from dock was only $122 before taxes. I usually stay at Holiday Inn Select but they wanted $300 plus. Anyone cruising out of Port everglades in December ( I'm out the 4th) check out that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccio Posted December 31, 2020 #6 Share Posted December 31, 2020 OP - the week after Thanksgiving is traditionally a slow period and cruises and hotel rooms are reasonable but even given that $122 seems like an excellent price. Three weeks later and the prices for both increase significantly for the Christmas/New Years holidays and stay high for the winter season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger88 Posted January 23, 2021 #8 Share Posted January 23, 2021 There is nothing better than staying in those port hotels. They are so nice and cozy and especially enjoy staying there for a day or two just to enjoy the view of the ocean (if there are rooms like that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseapril Posted January 24, 2021 #9 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Look at the prices of the Hyatt. Location is good if it's the hotel near the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are so nice, secure and AWESOME. The "port hotels" wow you must have some really good eyes, funny I don't remember being able to walk to Ft. Lauderdale Beach from the "port hotels" much less seeing it.🤔🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhraformula00 Posted January 25, 2021 #11 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Port hotels are fine. You can take the Sun Trolley to the beach and back for $ 1 each way. Takes a whole 5 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymok Posted February 1, 2021 #17 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) We booked the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina for now. The rate was $137 plus tax total $155 (fully refundable). The room had a view of the cruise ship piers. But will probably change if we can find a better rate at a comparable hotel nearby.

Thoughts Not familiar with that hotel, and I am all for saving a buck without compromising on cleanliness and safety. You should consider what services/facilities you will use when deciding on a hotel. If you are coming in off of a long, trans-Atlantic flight you may not care much about the pool, beach, nightlife, etc. but will care about proximity to the airport, port, maybe dining options or room service, etc. www.sunny.org has lots of FLL area hotel and tourist info - start your search there. If any of the above helps you owe me a pint - whatever "bitter" your local pours will be great! 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When in a group it’s the Riverside, W et al, being whatever the girls decide. They tend to try different hotels, using it as a nice base from where they can shop etc for 3/4 days pre-cruise. Boys have no input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted February 3, 2021 #20 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) We have stayed there several times. We like it very much. IF you are renting a car...rent from the Budget across the street in the shopping centre. Why??? The Ren charges ( or used to $20) day for parking. If you ask nicely Budget will allow you to park in one of their stalls in the shopping centre parking lot. Easy walking distance to some good restaurants, Einstein and Starbucks are within 2 blocks.

Thoughts No, no, and not ever. Horrible busy location and the motel is known for hookers and drugs. I honestly would not feel safe parking in the lot there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAYA Posted March 8, 2021 #23 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Does anyone know what I should use as search terms to find a hotel near Port Everglades that also provides parking while you're cruising and a shuttle to the port? I guess the shuttle part is optional if a taxi ride won't be too expensive. Apologies if this topic is covered elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted March 8, 2021 #24 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I don't know about long term parking at a hotel but you can start with this website to identify hotels near Port Everglades: https://www.sunny.org/plan-your-trip/cruisers/cruise-hotels/ Free shuttles to the port are uncommon and if a hotel charges by person it is often cheaper and faster to get Uber/Lyft or a taxi.
