Hotel Suggestions

[lorraine22]

Looking for the best hotel to stay the night before our cruise, which sails January 13, 2024 from Port Everglades (Ft. Lauderdale, FL).

The Tru by Hilton is very close to both the airport and the cruise terminal 

[lorraine22]

Thanks for your suggestion.

We like Hilton Gallery One on Sunrise.  15 minutes to the cruiseport.  Unlike most other hotels, there is no resort fee.

We like the Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale. Great beach access and ocean views. A nice stay a few nights prior to any cruise from PE.

Really depends on how much you want to pay, how close you want to be to the Cruiseport etc.  I like the Rennaissance as its right next door to the Cruiseport if i am flying in late the day before.  But also have stayed at the four seasons, Ritz, W  etc if I go a few days earlier.

I was actually steering towards the Rennaissance. Thanks so much for the info!

I'll 2nd this - decent price, easy Lyft/Uber to/from.

We have tried many and always seem to find the Embassy Suites is the best option for a pre cruise stay…

We like the courtyard Marriott Fort Lauderdale beach. It’s right at the beach. It has a cruise and stay option. We like walking along the beach and seeing the cruise ships leave and head out to sea.  When I am coming in late then it not important to be on the beach. We have stayed at the Renaissance is very convenient.

Riverside Hotel. Corner balcony in the newer tower.

E.S. is the farthest from the best, as in one of the worst is Fort Lauderdale. All others in this area are better.

[lorraine22]

I chose Courtyard by Marriott. I hope I made a good decisions.

Are you on the Sky Princess?  
 

We have decided on The Riverside.  Seems to be a favorite.  

[lorraine22]

We are on the Celebrity Apex. It sure seems like Riverside is the favorite. I booked at the Marriott Courtyard Airport/Cruise hotel but I am thinking of changing. If we change to Riverside, I'll let you know. Maybe we can meet up for a pre-cruise drink.

We used to do embassy suites but had terrible customer service last visit, so we switched to Hilton marina which we really enjoyed, love waking up and seeing our ship from the balcony.

Consider the Bricknell area.... Minutes from Bayside and very close to Port. I have a hard time paying premium prices for a before cruise night .

 

Got a great deal at Novotel Hotel...also Hampton Inn  Hotel has attractive prices.

The OP was asking for hotels in Ft. Lauderdale. Both of your suggestions are good but only if sailing from Miami.
