Lyndihop Posted March 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I would very much appreciate some input and/or recommendations for FtLauderdale hotels with shuttles from the airport and to the cruise port. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Suzy Posted March 29, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2022 We drive and stay at Wyndham Gardens. It has always had a free airport shuttle. During check-in in February, we saw a sign for a cruise shuttle pickup (for a charge). As we checked out, the van with luggage trailer was loading 6 or 7 guests. I would check with them to be sure this wasn't just a trial. There is a small restaurant just off the lobby that is open for breakfast and dinner. There are a few restaurants within walking distance, but we've never been to any of them.

MarkWiltonM Posted March 29, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) I recommend the Riverside Hotel on Las Olas Boulevard, which has tons of nice restaurants and shops. But you'll have to take an Uber of Lyft from/to airport/cruise terminal. These are pretty short trips (10 minutes or so). The reason I recommend this is because the hotel itself and its location is, in my opinion, more important than the shuttles. I have had to wait too long for airport/cruise port shuttles in the past to make it worth choosing a hotel based on that "convenience," which can be downright inconvenient. If you want to be super-close to the port, Embassy Suites and Renaissance, both on SE 17th Street, are very very close. There are also a lot of restaurants in this area but many are touristy and not great. Edited March 29, 2022 by MarkWiltonM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovesailaway Posted March 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I booked Le Meridien for our upcoming cruise. Pros: Has an airport shuttle from FLL Modern hotel with mid-century decor in the lobby Nice pool and fitness center The onsite restaurant Toro gets excellent reviews It has a cruise package that includes breakfast for 2 and transportation to Port Everglades. Cons: Nothing close by to walk to. If you need to shop our want more dinning choices this property might not work best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navybikermom Posted March 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2022 We stayed at the Hyatt House in Dania Beach. Free shuttle from the airport and a kiosk to sign up for the cruise port shuttle. You can pay for it with your credit card right at that kiosk. The hotel was next to a nice outdoor mall that had plenty of restaurant choices. Across a rather busy street was another strip mall, but crossing the street wasn’t so bad since it had pedestrian crossing lights. I’ll stay there again in a heartbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted March 29, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2022 www.sunny.org has lots of FLL area hotel and tourist info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted March 30, 2022 #7 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hyatt Place offers a shuttle from FLL for $2.00 per room reservation. They also have a port shuttle but you'll do much better using a taxi to PE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepCalmBearOn Posted March 31, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 31, 2022 We like the Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port for its proximity to the Publix Market and the restaurants in the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antmaril Posted March 31, 2022 #9 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) I have stayed at the Hampton Inn in Plantation three times prior to cruising on Princess. They offer a shuttle from the airport and to the port. I have another reservation there for a cruise in January, 2023.

You would have to call the hotel to see because when we stayed there in January 2020, both the airport shuttle and the shuttle to the port were free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
