Any Fort Lauderdale hotel with both free airport transfer AND free cruise port transfer?

[cruisestitch]

Anybody know of one that has both? 
 

The courtyard in plantation used to, but I think now they charge for the cruise port transfer

Those transfers aren't 'free', they are 'included' in the hotel bill. 

You might find that booking a hotel that doesn't have 'free' transfers and paying for the transfers is cheaper than a hotel without 'free' transfers.  

Or, sometimes a hotel will offer 'free' transfers to make up for being a poor option for a hotel.

I understand that the price is built in to the room price.  Still asking the question, though, so I will re-word it.

 

is there any FLL hotel that doesn’t charge extra for airport transfer AND cruise port transfer?

 

I van find several hotels near the airport with no-extra-charge airport transfer.  Hoping to find one with no-extra-charge cruise port transfer as well.

As mentioned here, check visitlauderdale.com, for a listing of all area hotels and their amenities, including shuttles.

The point was, some have reported saving money by looking for hotels that don't provide shuttles.

Not looking for cheapest rate necessarily in this search.  Trying to minimize hassle for some travelers who don’t speak much English and don’t have US cellphone service so don’t want to attempt Uber.

Check with the Courtyard, they may have a service that they recommend.  They may also make arrangements for their guests.

Will do

Pre-Covid, it was also reported here that the Hampton Inn Plantation also offered free shuttles so you might check with them too.

This is true,  I have stayed at the Hampton Inn in Plantation three times, the last time being in January, 2020.  They offered a free shuttle from the airport and to the cruise port.  I am cruising again in January, 2024, but the reviews of this hotel aren’t what they used to be so we are staying at The Riverside instead.  No shuttles, so we will just take a taxi or call an Uber.

@isabellmybell this thread has some information about hotels with shuttles.

If the hotel has a concierge they can probably arrange something for them. The Riverside Hotel has contact information under transportation for the concierge to make arrangements beforehand.
