mcchane1 Posted June 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I know there are lots of threads about opinions on hotels near the port. We have stayed at the Embassy Suites previously and have the booked for our cruise next April. But if airfare doesn't come down we will be driving instead of flying into FLL, with that being the case does anyone have a hotel recommendation that might be a little more affordable that can be up to a couple hours away from the port?

JohninDC Posted June 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2016 http://Www.sunny.org has lots of FLL area hotel and tourist info. Palm Beach is about an hour north with several reasonable hotel options off of 95. You could stay as far away as Orlando - about a 3+ hour drive - with 1000's of hotels in every price range. April, around the Easter break, will be peak season - book something now that you can live with and then keep shopping. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWM907 Posted June 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Try Ft. Pierce or Port St. Lucie. About an hour and a half north of Port Everglades. Hotels are right off route 95. I have stayed at a Hampton Inn and a Fairfield Inn in Ft. Pierce and a Spring Hill Suites in Port St Lucie. All were very nice.

BlueHerons Posted June 5, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yes, there are plenty of I95 hotels in the West Palm Beach/Boca Raton area that would work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcchane1 Posted June 5, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks for the replies. Still lots of time to wait on airfare prices but currently they are at $700pp, there are 5 of us, need them to get below $400 or we will be driving. We can keep our reservation at the Embassy Suites but we just need a place to sleep so we can go with someplace a little ways out and save a few dollars.

Check out the Ramada -Fort Lauderdale Oakland Park. Reviews are favorable for this basic hotel and I think parking is free or a reasonable price. The shuttle to the port is also free or low cost. We're flying into FLL, and I've booked this hotel for both our December 2016 and February 2017 cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcchane1 Posted June 6, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted June 6, 2016 My hope is to be able to get affordable airfare and stay at the Embassy Suites......driving and staying a ways out is plan B. Keeping my fingers crossed for airfare price drop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
