bearette1017 Posted August 4, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2007 My husband and I are going on the CB next April 13 and were thinking about flying down a day ahead. Any advice on hotel rooms? Will they shuttle you to the dock? What kind of prices are we talking about? Any help you can give will be appreciated, Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palolake Posted August 4, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Go to the bottom of the page and look at the right hand side where it says "Forum Jump" Under North American Homeports, click on East Coast Departures. You'll find everything you want to know about hotels in Ft. Lauderdale. We always go in a day ahead and there are many hotels with free shuttles from both the airport and to the port.

Colo Cruiser Posted August 4, 2007 #3 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Renaissance Embassy Suites These are the two that I would reccomend. They are close to the port and shops on 17th St. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 4cats4me Posted August 5, 2007 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2007 We're going out on the Emerald on 4/4 and it is spring break time, but the hotels are all very pricey at this time, with the Holiday Inn Express on 17th Street running at $208 before tax, if you purchase it at an advanced rate. Embassy Suites is very nice, but a steep $309 plus tax, Renaissance is showing a AAA rate of $298 [includes tax] Tonight I decided to place a bid on Priceline, and got the Renaissance for $234, including tax. I bid $200. It's the only 4* in the downtown region [Las Olas/Downtown] I bid $175 to start, knowing full well this was probably too low and PL countered, so I went for the full $200, since this represents around 30% reduction. Hampton Inns are around $228 including taxes. So I'm very happy with my deal for such a nice hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 6, 2007 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2007 To the original poster I just wanted to highly recommend that you do arrive to Fort Lauderdale a day ahead of time. Too often people try to fly that day and the way that schedules are these days plus problems with delayed or canceled flights I always recommend going in at least one day ahead.
