MarriedInStThomas1807 Posted September 19, 2007 #51 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I asked this same question. I plan on staying in the Holiday Inn Express that's a block or so from the pier. It's $208 though, but oh well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-ANN Posted September 19, 2007 #52 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I posted this question on another thread but since everyone is on this subject I will ask here.... I am sailing on the Liberty (leaving port on December 30th). I booked a room at the Ramada Inn Fort Lauderdale (airport/cruise port location). Has anyone stayed at this hotel? They have complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport, cruise terminal and a full hot breakfast buffet included in the room charge ($155). Good choice or should I re-book a different hotel?

We really liked this hotel...clean, large rooms, great hot breakfast, nice pool area, fun lounge, free computer use outside of lounge. The shuttles were fine also. We've booked again for 2 nights pre-cruise in Nov and 1 nite pre-cruise in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is you are retired and this is what I can look forward too;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trvlr37 Posted September 20, 2007 #57 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Bequia - I just found out the Home Design and Remodeling Show will be at the convention center the weekend we're in FLL. Does it get crowded in FLL with the show in town (restaurants, hotels, public transportation)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroy Posted September 20, 2007 #58 Share Posted September 20, 2007 On the basis of Bequia's advice, we had a good look at The Atlantic, Lago Mar and the Embassy Suites. We've stayed at The Atlantic and Embassy Suites in the past and enjoyed both properties (The Atlantic on Starwood points). We needed a hotel for one night pre-cruise in early December and in comparing prices, we can get an executive 1BR suite at Lago Mar for less than a night at Embassy Suites!! Needless to say, we booked Lago Mar and are really looking forward to this brief stay. Thanks again for the helpful advice Bequia! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted September 20, 2007 #59 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Bequia - I just found out the Home Design and Remodeling Show will be at the convention center the weekend we're in FLL. Does it get crowded in FLL with the show in town (restaurants, hotels, public transportation)? It pales in comparison to the amount of people the boat show and the air sea show bring ot to Ft Lauderdale. Even when the mega events come into town things run relatively smoothly. I wouldn't give it a second thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trvlr37 Posted September 20, 2007 #60 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Thanks again, Bequia! Yes, I know the Florida boat show and air show can be quite difficult to even find a hotel room for many miles when those events come to town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseball16 Posted September 20, 2007 Author #61 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Anybody looking for a hotel in Ft lauderdale area. I just found a 300 per night hotel at OTEL.com for $154 per night in May. It is the Renaissance. Good Luck 4 star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daWoods Posted September 22, 2007 #62 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Although Bequia didn't answer my earlier question:( , his recommendation of Lago Mar to somebody else twigged my interest, and I've booked 3 nights post cruise to extend our vacation. Expensive, but it looks great.:cool: Thanks Bequia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted September 22, 2007 #63 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Although Bequia didn't answer my earlier question:( , I'm so sorry...I don't know how I missed your original question. It was probably mean't to be since you booked the nicest hotel in town. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnoxvilleSam Posted September 23, 2007 #64 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Thanks to Bequia and others' reviews of the Lago Mar I've booked us 3 nights pre-cruise at the Lago Mar. I really feel I must rest up prior to the 7-night cruise on the Millie, so the isolation of the Lago Mar may be just what the doctor ordered. :D Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
