Has anyone stayed recently at Ft Lauderdale Cruisport Hotel. I know it's being renovated and soon the name change. I've read reviews and they range from 1 star to 41/2. Not a whole lot of very recent reviews. I'm hoping to hear a recent assessment.

Thanks

I think I will give them a call. Just want to get it taken care of before we go. I guess I'm just trying to " hoard" my OBC for excursions and of course the casino 🙄

We have the Classic package from the promotion. How do we upgrade to Premium before we sail ?

Thanks

Can't wait to hear more.....we will sailing with her soon....but not soon enough!

Must be Fake News:D

Or alternative facts.😜

Check out Fort Lauderdale Inn and Cruise Port. Soon to be 4 Points

By Sheraton

Shuttle from airport and to port

Rate is around 140.00

We just booked this hotel for the day before( march25) We paid $250.00 which included taxes

We joined the Captains Club when it cost $35.00! That was a long time ago. I don't remember a t shirt but like I said...it was ages ago.

i did call Hyatt directly. They had no reservation for me. So I knew there wouldn't be a charge. I was just hoping there was a delay in confirmation. I'm disappointed that we won't be staying there. It's a great place! First time at a new place...hoping for the best.

There is a Mexican restaurant in that little strip plaza just across the street from Embassy. I think it's Carlos and Pepe's. I think they have the best homemade salsa ever! Th menu is pretty extensive...not all Mexican but all good.

We just booked Ft Lauderdale airport/ cruise port. With tax just over $250, that is for march 25 this year. The prices this time of year are outrageous!

After the third email to ValueTrips I finally received a response. Rooms unavailable for the weekend requested. I don't know what took so long but at least I know the answer. Booked Ft. Lauderdale Airport/ Cruiseport. Not what we wanted but the prices were within our range. With taxes we are paying just over $250. Trip advisor had decent reviews and we do like the amenities and location.

Oh well it's just for 1 night.

How bad can it be? (Famous last words)

I have kept a close watch on my cc....not too concerned because they never charge until check in. I did call the Hyatt...they have no reservation.

Indy.....I'm encouraged to know it took so long to get your response...maybe I will still hear something.

I'll let you all know if I hear anything.

I have used Value Trips many times. I don't know if there some problem but I have not received a yay or nay from them regarding a reservation I requested. I know it takes awhile but when it got to be over a week I called and of course left a message. No return call. Then I tried email....no response to that either. I even tried another call,another message. I just hope they don't put the 3 rooms on my card.

Has anyone had this problem?

We always stay at that Hyatt Place. The Harbor Shops are a very short walk away. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much the area has built up. If you go to their website it should tell you exactly what shops and restaurants are there. You will have much to choose from.

We have been using QLS foR the past few years. They have never disappointed. Always right on time. Office staff ( Karina) is so easy to work with. They will be your go to service from now on.

Duffy's Sports Bar has really good food. If you like Mexican food Carlos and Pepe's is also good. In the plaza right across from Embassy Suites.

We always stay at Hyatt Place Convention Center. Rates are reasonable for a great hotel. Depends on when your parents are sailing. Free breakfast and shuttle from the airport.

QLS picks up from there and goes to POM for $ 15 per person.

We sailed last year mid February. The hotel prices were outrageous due to the fact it was school break for many of the east coast schools. Airlines were expensive too but we had to go then because one of travel companions worked for the school district.

I would recommend thevHyant Place on 17th. It does cost $195, a little more than you might want to spend but well worth it. Great included breakfast. The location is great. Mant stores and restaurants within walking distance.Free pickup from airport to hotel. Shuttle to port...might be a small fee for that,not sure. All things considered good bang for your buck!

So long as the "baby" corn stays out of the hot tub. :p:D

My laugh for the day.😆

What a nice change of pace...good question Cruising Princess......a great suggestions and even better laughs!

Lucky Cat was my absolute favorite. It will be missed 😭😥

If your flight not booked you can compare flight prices to Fort Lauderdale, and stay there overnight. The following day a taie a shuttle to Miami.

We always fly into Ft Lauderdale.....better flight schedules for us. Plus we like Lauderdale better. We stay at the Hyatt Place on 17th St. Stores and restaurants close by. The trolley stop is also close and you can really to some great restaurants,shops and of course the ocean.

I would never,normally book concierge class. However,getting all 3 perks by booking CC made it worth it. If you number crunch what the OBC,drink pkg and paid gratuities amount to,it's actually cheaper than a 1A.

The footstools the're great too!

We are on the same cruise as you are....can't wait,love the Reflection?

We are also flying into FLL. We like Lauderdale so much better than Miami. Plus SWA doesn't fly from our city to Miami.

We have used QLS numerous times. Usually charge about $20 per person. More than price,they are very reliable.

We have not booked our air yet but I will definitely keep our return within the time frame to use luggage valet. It makes disembarkation so easy.
