Hotel walking distance to cruise ships?

[Janie1229]

Hi, just wondering if there is a hotel close enough to where you board the Royal Caribbean cruise ships in FLL? If not, something close for a cheap cab or shuttle to the ship? Thanks!

We recently stayed at the holiday inn express, cruiseport/airport. Very near the cruiseport, but not walkable. They have a free airport shuttle and an $8 per person cruiseport shuttle. Also, Uber is an inexpensive option.

There are several hotels close to the pier, walking distance can be tough depending up which dock your ship is, I would suggest an uber to the pier would be a better choice.

 

Any of the hotels located at the 17th Street Causeway area would be what your looking for. I have stayed at the Hyatt Place 17th Street Causeway and got a great price thru http://www.valuetrips.com there is also the Embassy Suites, Holiday Inn Express 17th Street Causeway.

 

 

Hope this helps, enjoy your cruise....

A little reading down the board would reveal that only Terminal 2 and 4 would be considered walkable from anything on the 17th St side, and RCI doesn't typically use those Terminals, although perhaps occasionally. The "Monsters of the Seas" (Allure, Harmony, Oasis) use Terminal 18, and recently Freedom has been using 29. Both not walkable.

The port is huge, no point in trying to walk it. Our uber from Embassy Suites to ship a few weeks ago was 7 bucks.

Terminals 2 and 4 are less than a mile from the Embassy Suites. We have walked it both before and after cruises. Terminal 18 is nearly 2 miles. I would not want to walk that far with luggage.

Any hotel on 17th Street is close to Port Everglades. Personally I wouldn’t walk with luggage to Port Everglades but I can vouch that it’s a short, cheap cab ride. Embassy Suites a well recommended Cruise Critic favorite hotel.
