FOUND: Free parking for duration of cruise in Ft. Lauderdale

[tgrllyct]

FYI: Dania Springhill Suites offers free shuttle service to Port Everglades (you pay a taxi or shuttle to get back - around $8/person), and also allows free parking for the duration of your cruise, up to 14 days. (I called them twice to confirm with two separate reps - and they were nice to boot!)

 

In addition, they offer a free HOT breakfast every morning. Rates weren't bad either - we're paying $108.00/night for last day in November.

 

Here is their website in case anyone is interested: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/flldb-springhill-suites-fort-lauderdale-airport/

 

Cheers!

Thanks for the information. Great to know for people driving to the Port in Fort Lauderdale who would like a buffer day before their cruise.

Not only to buffer a day before the cruise, but to save $$ on parking as well. Figuring we're on a 12 day cruise - at $15/day for port parking, it would be $180.00. Our hotel with free parking is only $120.00. So not only are we saving money, but we're not rushing around the morning of the cruise to drive 5+ hours to get to the port. I'm all about a little R&R!! :)

Thanks for the info. I have a friend whom is driving to FLL in March. We just today were talking about a place to park for free. I told her I had searched & couldn't find anything. You must have had ESP or something!!!!

You're welcome! So glad it worked out for you.

I searched and searched the forums and was having a hard time finding something, so wanted to post something that will hopefully be helpful to everyone who is looking for this as well.

 

Happy sailing!
