You should get plenty of suggestions on the Florida Departures board:  https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/386-florida-departures/

"Affordable but decent ". Two incredibly subjective and vague terms if I have ever heard some.

 

Agree, look on the Florida Departures board.

Try Hyatt Place. Great pre-cruise location next door to the Harbor Shopping complex with a Publix market, shops and restaurants.

 

Check pricing with ValueTrips or directly as a member.

 

We've stayed there many times and as recently as March 3rd.

Have stayed twice at Hyatt Place.  They have a bunch of foodie places within a couple hundred yards plus breakfast is included.  When you walk in, they have a kiosk to sign up for the cruise shuttle to your berth.  I can't recall how much but probably cheaper or on par with a cab.  That's Hyatt Place, Fort Lauderdale South and it's right next to Hyatt House Fort Lauderdale.

The Hyatt Place shuttle is $9.00pp.

The Dania Pointe location?  Great hotel

How far from the port of Miami would you estimate this Hyatt to be? We've stayed here a couple times many years ago for cruises out of FLL, but are cruising out of Miami this May. Valuetrip has a great price so it's worth a drive in the morning to stay so cheap.

Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale, perhaps 30-40 min depending on day/time. You might also consider checking prices at Hampton Inn Blue Lagoon near POM.

 

We just stayed at both hotels this month.

It is about 25 miles and 45 min ride. Have done it a few times.

Ft. Lauderdale has all the major chains.......Hiltons, Choice Hotels,  Hyatts, etc....etc....etc.....

You would need to check prices for whatever dates you are staying to see what is offered. If you are going to cruise during the winter, that is high season for South Florida so $$$ will be more than going off season. What is affordable really depends on the  individual. What I think is a good price? Someone else may think it is too high.........

We are doing that same thing.  We will be staying overnight in FL and SAS transportation  is extremely reasonable $ 13.00  for a ride to POM pp.

We stayed at Hilton marina last two cruises, love waking up and seeing ship from balcony.
