cbaser Posted April 23, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2013 For all you FLL vets out there, This is my first cruise out of PE. I've got plenty of Hilton Honors points to pay for rooms so something in that family of hotels is preferable. I need something for one night pre-cruise that will be convenient, free shuttles or at least cheap cab fare, and also within easy and safe walking distance to some cheap to moderate restaurants and a grocery store or drug store to pick up some sodas, shampoo, etc. Then I need something for one night post cruise, preferable on the beach, but still fairly cheap cab fare and within walking distance to restaurants. I don't plan to rent a car on either side of the cruise. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted April 23, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2013 The are literally dozens of threads on this board answering your exact question. Hint...for your pre-cruise hotel, a hotel on 17th St covers all your requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracie65 Posted April 23, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Try Embassy Suites Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted April 23, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Embassy Suites should fill your pre-cruise needs - big rooms, short cab ride, shopping and dining nearby, nice pool, great breakfast and free happy hour! :D Here's a list of FLL area hotels on or very near the beach that have been previously suggested: Beach Place Ritz Carlton Alhambra Westin W Hilton Courtyard Bahia Mar B Ocean is near a few restaurants and walking distance to Galleria Mall. Marriott Harbor Beach, Sheraton, and Best Western Oceanside are a little further but also walk-able. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted April 23, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Your Hilton points can get you... Precruise: Embassy Suites, Hilton Marina (ES is a little closer to stuff) Postcruise: Doubletree Bahia Mar, Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted April 23, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 23, 2013 The first place I thought of was Embassy Suites. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennmaybe Posted April 25, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 25, 2013 For your pre-cruise, you can try Hilton Garden Inn Ft. Lauderdale Airport-Cruise Port They have free airport shuttle and it's very close to the port. You can take their shuttle to the port (these are usually around $10 pp) or you can hop in a taxi. They also have free breakfast. http://hiltongardeninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/florida/hilton-garden-inn-ft-lauderdale-airport-cruise-port-FLLFHGI/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
