kiberkid Posted April 22, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I can book either of these 2 hotels @ about the same price. Sleep Inn $63 & AmeriSuites $69. Both offer airport & port shuttles, both offer complimentary breakfast.... We want to do a bit of precruising shopping.. bottle water, Pepsi & of course a bottle of something... to sneak on. We will not have a car. Which one should I book? NCL Sea November 2001 NCL Sun November 2002 Carnival Legend November 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moeve Posted April 23, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2004 The Ameri on 17th has a Publix almost directly across the road it is like a 5min walk. It has quite a selection. It is also with in walking distance of several places for dinner. Outback steakhouse just over the parking area. Port is only 5 min away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepLadyLtd Posted April 24, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Just got back and I would suggest the Sleep Inn Suites. It new and very clean and fresh. That's not what I'm reading about Ameri Suites. The people that work at the hotel are all very nice. In the parking lot is a Walgreens and right accross the street is a Publix Market. There are also a couple of small resturants. We ate at the small I talian Resturant, the other is Chinese. The port shuttle you sign up for when you check in. We left right on time. Hope this helps.

tory707 Posted May 11, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi...I can't find the Sleep Inn Suites for the 17th street area. It only lists 2 in ft lauderdale. None of them are near 17th street. Can you help with an address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenP Posted May 11, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 11, 2004 DO NOT stay at the Amerisuites we have and left after one night even having paid for 3 nights. Do a search on this board and you will see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepLadyLtd Posted May 11, 2004 #8 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi, The Sleep Inn is located at 5th Ave and Sheridan. Go to the choicehotels.com web site and it will give you all the info and directions for the hotel. We booked on the website the prices are just as good, as any of the .com sites.

I almost forgot fresh fruits. Did you need more before you board the ship?

dotcruiser Posted June 14, 2004 #14 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Hey kiberkid, are you perhaps sailing on Legend November 26th? I sure hope so, no one seems to be going with us to see Panama Canal. I just booked at Comfort Inn/airport Cruise port (954) 922-1600. It's $6.00 per day to park at hotel and free shuttle to port. I pd. $76.49 (AAA) rate. Sounds good to me. Let me know if your going that date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiberkid Posted June 14, 2004 Author #15 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Hi Dotcruiser. Yes we are sailingl on the Legend on Nov 27 & yes we are taking the Panama Canal Tour. We are traveling with my parents & they do not feel comfortable taking a private tour so we will be doing the Canival tour. I have us booked in @ the Sleep Inn in Dania. It seems to have the best reviews of both the Amerisuites & the Days Inn. See you there.. I will jump over to the roll call area & bring our thread back up to the top. Happy Saillings!!
