Yes you can! You will be about 2 miles from the inlet but you will see the ships to the south. There is a very good relaxed seafood restaurant called Coconuts 1-1.5 miles south on A1A south. Lulu's Bait Shack in Beach Place is closer than that; it's pretty good but not as high quality food.

A follow up question on the Hilton Ft Lauderdale Beach Resort. I know they provide valet parking (though at a kinda steep $33 per night.) Are there any public parking options available in that immediate area that may be more affordable? Thanks in advance.

There is no overnight public parking lot near there.

What are the chances of getting a hotel room for one night in mid-January for less than $100?

Any info or advice would be welcomed

 

Not much of a chance and if it was under $100 I would really really check it out because it just might be scary.

 

Perhaps consider a chain off the highway about 50 miles away and inland then you can drive in on the morning of the cruise. Easy Peasy but be aware that parking is expensive and there are lots of toll roads in the southern Florida area and you might need the transponder for your car.
