FLL hotel after cruise...early check-in?

[uscgmom]

We are planning on staying an extra day in Fort Lauderdale after our cruise. Does anyone know of a hotel that allows for early check in if we stay in it pre/post cruise? Thank you.

Early check in is ALWAYS a factor of available rooms. Given the usual high volume of room turnover during cruise season, it's really hard to promise you a room will be ready. Loyalty status might help some. Early check in can also be an extra fee.

 

Keep in mind, virtually every hotel will hold your luggage until your room is ready.

My experience is sometimes yes and sometimes no.  My most recent need to do this, the exact type of room that I had reserved was not yet ready.  But, a similar room was available.  I did and had a much less desirable view than what the original room would have.  Why did I do this?  I wanted to get "settled" and prepared to use the hotel's excellent pool deck facilities.

Agreed with the PP. when, exactly, are you traveling? A holiday weekend? Less likely a room would be available. December 11th? Pretty likely, as it’s after the boat parade and before Christmas.
