capriccio Posted March 10, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Sorry Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale, Florida Check out the Florida Departures board (where the moderators will probably move this thread) here on cruise critic: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=495. That question is asked daily (and sometimes even more often :)). Another good source of Fort Lauderdale info is http://www.sunny.org - the official tourism site.

Potstech Posted March 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Also look on tripadvisor.com. They have people recommending hotels all the time. And have several cell phone apps. Never stayed overnight in Fort Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI66774 Posted March 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hilton Beach Resort is excellent. Right on the beach and near everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggprincess2004 Posted March 10, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2014 The Marriott in Hollywood FL is on the beach and about 6 miles away from the cruise port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate your help. Cathy Try one of the hotel sites. Looks like your dates are just prior to the high season. Take a look at the Bahia Mar.

waltd Posted March 10, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) If you are staying for one night and willing to take a chance you can always bid on Priceline. You pick the area and your price and give them a credit card number. Once you hit send hotels will look at your offer and if they like your bid you will have a room. You pick by area and stars. I think one through 5 stars. We have had some pretty nice places and some that we couldn't understand why they called them 5 stars. None was horrible.

eandj Posted March 10, 2014 #11 Share Posted March 10, 2014 You should do very well for the 12th of Dec. Pre Xmas prices. A moderate and popular beach hotel is Doubletree's Bahia Mar. Book in the tower rooms. All the rest of the beach hotels will run more. I'd defnitely look on the discount sites for that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novocruisers Posted March 12, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The Hampton inn was great as it was very comfortable, we'll priced and offered free shuttles from airport and to cruise ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eandj Posted March 12, 2014 #14 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Correct. No Hampton Inn on beach. The beach hotels will not have shuttles from the airport. To the port in the morning, a quick $10-15 cab ride is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted March 12, 2014 #15 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The Hampton inn was great as it was very comfortable, we'll priced and offered free shuttles from airport and to cruise ship! Not a beach hotel. To the OP, try the Courtyard Marriott Fort Lauderdale Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted March 12, 2014 #16 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Not a beach hotel. To the OP, try the Courtyard Marriott Fort Lauderdale Beach. This one is in a great location. Compare pricing to Bahia Mar using hiltons MVP rate. Edited March 12, 2014 by eandj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
