flimflubin Posted May 20, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Can someone please refer a hotel that's near the harbor with a balcony so we can watch ships come and go. My grandmother prefer a hotel near the habor which I prefer the beach. Since we are going on a 10 days crusie I can see all the beautiful blue water I want. Thanks, Faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Faith It would help to know which port. If you're going on the cruise, shouldn't you be on the ship and not watching from a hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalcruz Posted May 21, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Lago Mar is on the beach and is a couple of blocks from where the ships sail out to the ocean. Great views at 5 PM on weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBunny Posted May 21, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Pier 66 is very nice, not quite the beach, not quite the harbor, but right on the Intracoastal and the 17th drawbridge. You can watch boat traffic from your room. There's a nice marina there for cocktails. Shearaton Ft. Lauderdale Beach Resort (Formerly Yankee Clipper/Trader) is right between the beach and intracoastal, so you get the best of both worlds. Again, watch the traffic on the Intracoastal (or do water taxi and enjoy the ride) hang out on the beach. Both are reasonably close to Port Everglades.

stoneharborlady Posted May 21, 2010 #7 Share Posted May 21, 2010 You cannot go wrong with Lago Mar, but you must request an oceanfront room. Also the Marriot Harbor Beach next door, they have oceanfront balconies too. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, also great views at 5 AM to watch your ship come in all lit up in the darkness. Gave me shivers, it was so close it was almost touchable.
