Can anyone give me some information on the Jax Port. We will be a group of 14 ladies . Hoping to find a hotel near the port that may also offer free parking.

Hotels - this site gives information on hotels that offer special packages for cruisers- http://www.jaxcvb.com/visiting_jax/special_offers.asp?#16

There a number of hotels close to the port that offer free parking.

Our group of 4 gals returned a few weeks ago from sailing out of Jacksonville.

 

You would need to check out the parking arrangements but I cannot recommend highly enough the Hampton Inn at the airport - we bunked up in one room (2 queen beds) - it included shuttles to/from the airport and to/from the cruise port. Breakfast was also included.

 

The hotel opened last summer so is relatively new. Longhorn's and Ruby Tuesday's were practically in the same parking lot as the hotel (had a great dinner at Longhorn's). They also offered shuttle for shopping within two miles - there was a Wal-Mart shopping center with a liquor store (if needed)!

 

The rooms had the most awesome bedding - duvets, comfy pillows and mattresses. I don't usually recommend a hotel so highly, but I researched for months and had three hotels booked at one time. The room was was extremely nice especially at $119 total for all four of us (including the shuttles and breakfast).

 

If you have an interest, here is their contact info: (you girls had a great time)! :)
