Walk to ship

[jeep1]

Question getting on Sky tomorrow. Staying at Hilton across from ship. Can you walk directly to ship. Looks like you follow road through the construction area?  Anyone tried that route. Thanks in advance

We did two years ago but there was no construction at that point. Took no time at all! Hope it still works….

We stayed there a few years ago.  They had a free shuttle at that time.  Check your front desk.

My husband often walks back to our car in that area when doing a B2B to jettison dirty clothing but be warned, after you make a few trips the cement will wear out the wheels very quickly.

Not that they can't be easily replaced but they do have a free shuttle if you don't mind the wait.

Stayed there last month. COULD you walk, probably. But it was like  $6 Lyft ride, or the hotel had transportation for a little more. We felt it well worth the price to not need to drag our suitcases down the sidewalk 🙂.

Shuttle from the Hilton Marina was not free in November, just FYI

I plan on driving to Port Everglades.  Where is the construction?  I want to plan my route.

If the ship is at pier 2 you can walk if you want. You will be able to see the entrance when you get to the hotel. While pier 2 is directly across from the hotel, you have to walk up the street to access the pedestrian entrance.

Sky is scheduled for berth 2, tomorrow.   (right across the street from the hilton)

 

You can walk, but you need to enter the port on eisenhower blvd.

We stayed there last month (December 9) and were told that you could not walk into the port area (berth 2) due to increased security. The construction on the new hotel adjacent to the Convention Center also prevented the more direct access. It would be a fairly long walk with luggage having to go up to Eisenhower Blvd and then over to SE 20th St to the main entrance (.7 miles). We took an XL Lyft for only $9 to the drop off site inside the parking structure.

.7 miles is a very short walk!

Absolutely!   We stayed there December 19th for our December 20th cruise.  Shortest walk and super easy.  There is a nice paved road (going through the construction and in front of the new convention center/Omni hotel) with a sidewalk that makes for a wonderful short cut.  We couldn't figure out why no one else was doing this.

There isn't any shorter way to get into the port.

And besides that, going your route is shaded a lot of the way compared to Eisenhower Blvd.

Yes, we've walked it from Embassy Suites. No problem.

Take the hotel shuttle, why get all hot and sweaty dragging your bags to the pier.

Maybe not so much for some older passengers...and dragging/lugging their bags.

This is from the CB in November. There is a big fence around the construction site for the convention center. The Sky was across the street when we arrived the day before.
