Aufinger Posted January 30, 2018 #51 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Definitely consider Airbnb, for one night you can find something nice and convenient under $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted January 30, 2018 #52 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ditto to this post. Rooms are large (although the bathroom is tiny) and rooms have a large comfortable sitting area and they offer a complimentary buffet breakfast which includes waffles which you make yourself and many other hot and cold items. :D We stayed at the Hyatt 17th St Convention center a couple of weeks ago for 2 nights pre-cruise. On the first morning there, there was no longer a waffle machine and they had pancakes already made up along with sausage and the regular offerings. We went down to the small bar to have a glass of wine and talked with the bartender-check in agent the night before the cruise. I asked about the waffle machine and he said Hyatt told them to no longer use the machine as they were going to healthier options. He did say, though, that there are times when they make waffles and bacon for breakfast and they are put out for the guests. The next morning on my way to breakfast, I ran into the same man and he was so excited to tell me that they had waffles and bacon that morning. So, I got my waffle fill for the cruise and then had no room for lunch on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cheaper which I suspect is the real reason for the demise of the waffle machine. $$$ is usually the bottom line, but I thank you, Katie, for the info. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted January 30, 2018 #54 Share Posted January 30, 2018 We stay at either the Embassy Suites or Hampton Inn Airport North Cruise Port. Good location and perks for both properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted January 30, 2018 #55 Share Posted January 30, 2018 We stayed at the Hyatt Place two years ago, Post cruise along with 12 of our cruise mates and did the Water Taxi. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazy66 Posted January 30, 2018 #56 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Steve O It was the Hampton Inn Airport North Cruise Port Airport- found it through trip advisor at the time. It is next to a small mall with a grocery store for anything you need as well as a great sports bar called Slackers which we used the night before the cruise.

charmy98 Posted February 1, 2018 #61 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Embassy Suites is very popular, and walking distance to stores, wine, restaurants. We have always stayed at the Extended Stay America Fort Lauderdale, you can walk to the grocery stores, fast food stores and they have a free shuttle service to the port. The rooms are fully equipped with cooking facilities and refrigerator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare levonfan Posted February 2, 2018 #67 Share Posted February 2, 2018 We are needing two rooms for April 6th before getting on Harmony of the Seas. Prices seem crazy for some of these places, $300+ for Hyatt Place. How does the Valuetrips site work? It is showing rate of $119, are you guaranteed that rate when you send in request?

We booked the Hyatt House in Dania Beach for our pre-cruise night because it was "only" 8,000 Hyatt points, maybe that would work? Looks like $215 for your night.

Llenser Posted February 3, 2018 #73 Share Posted February 3, 2018 We stayed last year at the Marriott with a ocean view! Awesome place right on the boardwalk! This year we’re staying at the Hilton marina right on the water taxi route. We just Uber our rides, works great Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trip4u Posted February 3, 2018 #74 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Yes, Dania Beach--Ft. Lauderdale Airport. The Springhill Suites and Fairfield Inn are good. They have airport to hotel shuttles and will arrange for you to be taken to the pier. Sometimes it gets charged sometimes it doesn't. Doesn't cost much though.

1stcruiser1 Posted February 3, 2018 #75 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I am sorry if this was suggested earlier. Last year we stayed at hotel Sheldon in Hollywood. It was fantastic! Right on the boardwalk, or as they call it the broadwalk. So much to see and do. Right on the beach with a ton of stores, restaurants. I would stay there again anytime! We paid about 200.00,per room.
