We have also stayed at many on 17th street and all will hold your luggage. Hyatt Place cruise port, just behind 17th street is our go to hotel now. They will hold your luggage and text you as soon as they have one clean and ready.
And if your ship comes in late, or is not cleared by customs, BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is why we stay an extra day and chill at a nice hotel. Been on too many cruises and have seen it all.
We have used it 5-6 times over the past 4 years and have never had a problem. If he just left the airport and you call, he has to make a complete trip to the hotel before coming back to pick you up. If you are at the hotel he will take you back to the airport any time he is there. Never had to wait more than 20 min.
My son and daughter in law just got off the Mardi Gras and said the food was really good in the Main Dinning room. Seemed better than their las cruise 1 year ago.
Fly into Ft. Lauderdale, the airport and cruise port are 3 miles apart. Plenty of hotels in the area also. Miami airport to Port Everglades will be 1 hour uber or lift ride.
Weird or not it is a great discount over booking directly with the hotel. We have used them 5-6 times in the past. Why pay $ 189 when you can get the same room for $ 109 ?????????????
V.T. is by far the best deal out there for Ft. Lauderdale area. We have been sailing from this port now for about 15 years and have been to 3/4 of the hotels along 17th. street. H.P. ranks at the top. IMOP. Value and convenience.
