What is the official name and/or physical address for the Fort Lauderdale cruise terminal that Holland America departs from?

HAL can depart from 3 or 4 different Terminals.

The mail address of Port Everglades Administration is 1850 Eller Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316   That is about 1/2 mile from any of the terminals HAL usually uses.  What is it that you are looking for?

But the good news is that they're all in the same complex. OP, if you're concerned about your driver (or you) getting you to the right one, as you enter there's a sign that shows the ships in port and the terminal number for each. Or you can find out from the website posted above.

I was trying to book a hotel.  Found one that offers a shuttle to the cruise terminal.

Don't worry -- all the taxi drivers and shuttle fivers know that area quite well and will know where your ship is docked.

 

Just tell the driver your ship's name and he will get you there.

We always use the Pier 66 Hotel located at the sea entrance to the Port, you can get a great view of the ships departing in the afternoon and coming into port in the early morning. Our TA always gets us a great deal for our pre cruise stays here.

Check the price of the shuttle. Uber is cheaper than the shuttle where I usually stay.

I agree, the shuttles from most FLL hotels run over $15pp.

Do you really mean per person?

I think it was $10 or $12 pp a few years ago at Embassy Suites. Uber was less than $10.

Shuttle was $6/pp from the Renaissance Cruise Port Hotel in December. No waiting in line at the port entrance to show your documents.  We had a special lane where we were waved straight through.  When taking a taxi or an Uber you need to wait in line and everyone must show their credentials.  The Uber guy told us he almost cancelled because it is such a hassle and a long wait to get into the port.

Last time I used them, Sleep Inn in Dania Beach was $10.60 per person.

I believe you are right, I forgot the  $15pp was roundtrip because we parked the car for free at the Hotel for the week cruise.

$12 pp through the Embassy Suites concierge as of December 30, 2018 - We took a cab instead - Make sure you can see the meter!

I remember your cab story. Fort Lauderdale cabbies have a bad reputation, don't they?!  That's why I like Uber. 

[Krazy Kruizers]

We have always used taxis from the Embassy Suites.  Never had a problem.

[Vic The Parrot]

Uber or Lyft are the best options.  

Tried a shuttle once, and that was enough.

Agreed. I always print a map and directions when we go on a trip. Athens was the worst. (Greece, not Georgia.)

Problem with a shuttle is that, depending on who got in there with you, they could make stops at a number of other terminals before reaching the one your ship is berthed at
