ronandcarla Posted August 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Does anyone have any recommendations to an over night say prior to ship sailing that is affordable, clean, amenities nearby and a view of the ships coming and going? Our cruise is scheduled for January 2015. Thank You, Ron M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted August 10, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2014 We did the Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Marina. Great close up view of the ships right from your balcony and plenty of places to eat nearby. Yes, it was a bit more than more budget minded hotels, but not by much ($20-$30 more). And the location and views were WELL worth the upcharge.

OfTheSeasCruiser Posted August 10, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I'm also curious to hear some recommendations.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CORKY_Q Posted August 10, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2014 We drive in to FLL and have found that the Park and Stay at the Hyatt works great for us. Get a good room, cocktail upon check-in, breakfast, secure parking for a week and a ride to the port for a really reasonable fee.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted August 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Here is my recommendation: Use the Florida Departures board: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=495 (where this thread will probably be soon moved ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see the Oasis as she comes into port on the morning of our departure. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted August 10, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2014 We're fans of Lago Mar Resort and Club. You can watch the ships exit the channel from the beach. Fair warning though, some may not consider it as affordable as others and there is no free shuttle. We usually take taxi's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
