RenieRaider Posted July 22, 2005 #27 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Is the Yankee Clipper in an OK area? It's through Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted July 22, 2005 #28 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Yankee Clipper is an older hotel and a bit past it's prime, but the location is great. It's suppose to be in for a major remodel soon, but I don't believe a start date has been set yet. Embassy Suites Fort Lauderdale is fine, just getting a bit worn around the edges, but not bad. It's in the process of being remodeled now. I understand they're starting at the top and working down with all rooms to be renovated by the end of the year.

mercedesmom2002 Posted July 22, 2005 #30 Share Posted July 22, 2005 dougp26364: We stayed at the Comfort Inn that you are going to be staying at in 2003. It was wonderful then. It had a great Omelette bar and full breakfast free. It was also so convenient with the free shuttle to and from the pier and the airport. We're looking to book with them again next July when we sail out of Miami. We just need to check and make sure that they still have the shuttle to Miami also. We've also read the reviews and they are very mixed. I just know from our experience it was great for the money. If anyone else has any other info, let us know.

lojill Posted July 24, 2005 #31 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Has anybody ever stayed in the Holiday INN Express hotel on 17th we are planning on staying there for a pre-cruise.

Finzo's Posted July 25, 2005 #32 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Can anyone tell me about the Best Western Oceanside Inn?? Is this a good or bad place to stay?!?!?!? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booze brothers Posted July 25, 2005 #33 Share Posted July 25, 2005 That's easy. The Embassy Suites. But don't book directly with them. Use priceline/biddingfortravel.com. If it is not a busy time of the year, then you should be able to get it for about $60/night. I didn't realize Embassy was coming up again on Priceline. (Our Son books for us on PL.) What month did you get this price? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesseer Posted July 25, 2005 #34 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Anybody know how the Wyndham at the FLL airport is as we are staying here in Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted July 25, 2005 #35 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Finzo's - The only NICE Best Western in Fort Lauderdale is Pelican Beach... http://www.pelicanbeach.com/ Jesseer - The airport Wyndham is not well liked, it's reviews are uniformly bad. There's also nothing whatsoever within walking distance, if you stay there you need a rental car or taxis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterrats Posted July 28, 2005 #40 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Last September we stayed a night at Pier66 and found the accomodations to be very nice. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. We booked for a total price of $99 on Priceline. We would stay there again. This year we booked the Embassy Suites for September on Embassy Suites website. Cost with taxes is about $130. This price does include free drinks from 5 to 7pm in the lobby area and also a full free breakfast. It is also within walking distance to many stores so all in all will work out to be cheaper than last years stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njoyndride Posted July 28, 2005 #41 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Another vote for the Marriott Marina, right on the water taxi route and next to the cruise port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think I should change it to the Holiday Inn Express SE 17? Regards Speedwell I would if it were me... SE 17th Street is a much safer location, with a lot more shops, restaurants, etc. that you can SAFELY and easily walk to. It's also a lot closer to both the airport and port.

Former Goalie Posted July 29, 2005 #45 Share Posted July 29, 2005 We had a nice 1 night precruise stay here in May. VERY new propoerty. We got the rate that included breakfast, and it was quite good. I needed to fax something back to my office, the front desk staff was very helpful and didn't charge me anything. We had a rental car so we didn't use the shuttles, but they had shuttles to/from airport and to port everglades. Best of luck! Volleymasha We stayed here one night post cruise, very nice hotel, nice staff, beautiful new rooms. Small, but nice pool, a good exercise facility. Restaurant serves a decent breakfast. One consideration with this hotel (especially vs. the 17th St. area hotels) is a lack of restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Only Islamorada Fish Company and Subway are within walking distance, everything else is a good distance away (at least this was the case in March '04). A huge Bass Pro Shops is attached to the Fish Company, that's about all the retail action for this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriDHair Posted September 24, 2005 #46 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I'm looking for a FLL hotel for one night, Feb. 12th. Can anyone tell me which ones that have been mentioned or they have stayed at have balcony rooms? It sounds like 17th St. area is the place to stay. Ocean front would be nice but I doubt that I can justify the price for only being there and being awake a few hours for one evening. February is expensive!

teach01 Posted September 24, 2005 #47 Share Posted September 24, 2005 We are a family of 7 arriving in FLL late the night before our cruise from Miami. Did we make a bad choice flying into FLL, it was significantly cheaper? Also, what is the best hotel to accomodate us for the night, with a shuttle from the airport and perhaps to the Miami pier? If there is no hotel that will transport us to the Miami pier, what is the best way for all 7 of us to get to the pier? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrchips14 Posted September 24, 2005 #48 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I booked thru priceline 3 star Ft L. Beach area, and got the Holiday inn FT. L Beach, for one night March 16th, for $110 ( $131 With tax and fees) . looks nice, ocean view rooms, Trip advisor reviews were OK. Should be alright for one night.

chotton Posted September 24, 2005 #49 Share Posted September 24, 2005 We have used priceline three times for a precruise stay in FLL. Each time I have entered 3 stars in the airport area and everytime I got the Sheraton for $50. It's a very nice hotel and their shuttle will run you over to the port.
