2 Questions about the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina hotel

[brianlojeck]

Two quick questions. This is my first time in Ft. Lauderdale, and my second in florida since a trip to Disney when I was...13?

 

1: We chose this hotel, partially, because it's close enough to walk to the port in an emergency. Is there a route from the hotel directly to Berth 2 (where Princess says we are leaving from) or do I have to walk further to the main automotive entrance, then double-back to the Princess area? (It's hard to tell from Google maps)

 

2: Hilton's phone app lets you check in and choose your room remotely. (apparently, I've never used it before). Is there a common numbering to rooms with a good view of teh cruise ports? I realize they'll be on the south side of the hotel, but is that odd or even room numbers, are higher or lower numbers closer to the water, etc...

 

Thanks!

Terminal 2 is a pretty easy walk from the Hilton, even with luggage. The taxi fare would be about $10. I have no idea about Uber.

We were there back in March and stayed in a tower room. If I remember correctly the even numbered rooms face south towards Port Everglades. Got some nice pictures from our balcony of the port and ships.

To the best of my knowledge, you will need to go through the same route as the cars do to get to the cruise terminal. I don't believe there are any shortcuts that go through.
