Motel in Fort Lauderdale & Excursions questions?

[delkins23]

We will be sailing out of Fort Lauderdale on October the 21'st. We will be ariving on the 20th and will need a motel. I was wondering if I could get some suffegestion for a good motel close to the cruise port at a reasonable price and a nice place. WE will be driving so it doesn't matter if there is transportation to the port or not. I would like to stay as cheap as possible but I don't want to stay in a dump. Also we will stopping in Key West. What does everybody recomment there. I have looked at the Key West boards but figured I would ask hear as well. We will be in Ocho Rios and we are planning the bike and snorkel adventure offered by Carnival. In Grand Cayman we are going to do the Kayaking excursion offered by Carnival. Does anybody have any reviews on these two?

There really are tons of suggestions for places to stay in Ft. Lauderdale in the East Coast departure board.

 

If you have never been to Ocho Rios before, I recommend the ship sponsored tour, Cool Runnings. They go to Dunn's River Falls which is an absolute MUST do at least once ;)

 

...and if you have never been to Grand Cayman, you HAVE to go see the stingrays at least once.

 

...at least that is my opinion

 

Happy cruising!

I along with a group of other people are all staying at Sleep Inn in Dania. The room rate is $89 and they will take you to the ship and they have a full breakfast in the morning.
