vthompson Posted August 14, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hi gang!:p My DH & I will be driving from Atlanta to Ft Lauderdale on Feb 27 and stay a night before we sail on 2-28. Suggestions as to where to stay cheap, it can be part or all the way to Ft Lauderdale, just don't want to be to tired before our first cruise;) ;) Thanks in advance.

familycruzer Posted August 14, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Your best bet is to visit the east coast departures board to get lots of ideas but I can tell you that we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express and had a good experience. Its right along the sun trolley route so we got to see some sight for a very low cost. They also offered a morning shuttle to the port for about $8 a person.

bruce&karen Posted August 14, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 14, 2008 We stayed in a La Quinta on Cypress Cr. Road right off I-95 at Exit 33 last year. It was pretty inexpensive on the weekends because it is in an Commercial area. They also provided a free breakfast that was better than most. It's only a few miles from the port.

martinchem Posted August 14, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Try to find a hotel close to the port with free or cheap shuttle service to & from the ship. The cost of parking at the terminal is at least $14 a day. $98 for one week parking alone would be worth the cost of your hotel w/shuttle in many cases.

mamacat3 Posted August 15, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hampton Inn Plantation is a nice hotel and they will let you park your car there while you cruise for $25. Free breakfast and free shuttle to and from the port. It is also in front of a shopping mall just in case you forget something!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed there last November and it was free to leave a car there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason the fee is on their website, I've never heard of them actually collecting it though. 92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
