  1. What do you mean squeeze into a Spirit Flight? If you have not flown Spirit in about 3 years, they have replaced 80% of their planes and have plenty of leg room. A lot more than they used to have.
  2. It is over rated by most people that stay there. We stayed there 1 time 1 year ago because Hyatt Place was booked and we like the area. E.S. is a huge, crowded, really slow elevators on cruise morning, our bathroom looked as it was original from the day it was built, and was really nasty. I would never stay there again. There are much nicer hotels in this area that are better all around. Hilton Fort. Lauderdale Marina, Renaissance, Holiday Inn, Four Points By Sheraton, and our go to hotel is Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port.
  3. E.S. is like Wallmart. I'll stay at a nicer hotel and buy my own food. All hotels in this area are nicer.
  4. Don't stay at E.S. It is really dated inside the rooms. It is very busy, elevators are really slow, crowded. We have been to almost every hotel on 17th street and would rate E.S. dead last. Our choice is Hyatt Place on S.E. 10th. street 1 block behind E.S. Much newer, cleaner, been there well over 8 times. Never been to Renaissance.
  5. While they are paid union dock workers they always have their hand out. I give them 5 single dollars.
  6. Hyatt Place off 17th. st. is one of the best places to stay in Lauderdale if not wanting to be on the beach. The 17th. street area is close to the port and the airport, within 10 min ride. We have been to it over 6 times now and have been to almost all of the hotels along 17th. street and like it the best.
  7. They will allow early check in as soon as a room is available. We have been in a rom as early as 9.00 am. Staff there is super friendly and accomodating.
  8. All of the water on the ship is generated from the ship from a process called reverse osmosis. It is 100 % pure with no contaminates.
  9. It is easier to get into a cab than try and find your uber. There will be hundreds of cars in line. The police do a great job of getting passengers into cabs.
  10. It was pretty dam good back in October. You have to get it when it first opens up, cause its warm. I always feed the dogs three that are wandering around.
  11. I would just get a cab and go to the hotel. They will hold all your luggage until check in. There are plenty of places to eat or walk to near the hotel to kill some time. Parking overnight there is high.
  12. Had this happen to our luggage many, many, years ago. Ruined 1 whole suitcase with red wine. We now pack everything in garbage bags inside our luggage. Live and learn from stupid people who have to bring their own wine.
  13. Uber or Lift prices can vary. Sasrideshare charges $15 p.p. or $ 13 if 3 persons or more.
  14. It all depends on how fast the waiter gets your order into the kitchen, and what you have ordered. 20 plus cruises here. We are always on time to sit and know what we want. Dinner service for us is right at an hour. If you are in a rush just let them know.
  15. If you do stay at H.P. and arrive early the more than likely will get you in a room ASAP. Friendly staff, clean rooms, not busy like E.S. Free breakfast, $2 per room ride from the airport, just call when you are outside with your luggage. If the driver is in between pickups he took us to the beach. I did tip him for the ride.
  16. Do yourself a favor and book the Hyatt Place behind E.S. You will be happier there.
  17. From the airport to the cruise port is less than 3 miles. I have no information reguarding rental cars or there shuttles.
  18. Be prepared for them to try and set a price the min you get into it instead of a metered charge. They are getting bad at this in Lauderdale.
  19. Hyatt Place 17th st cruise port on se 10th street. Will not stay anywhere else.
  20. In the Harbor Shops area off of 17th. street there are about 4 places to eat. Joe's, Gilbert's, Duffy's sports bar 2 for 1 drinks all day, Willey's Seafood Shack, We like Duffy's. 10 min from the airport.
  21. Your boarding this Sunday is going to be delayed. The ship had to make a medical stop and is now delayed about 12 hours. Looks as if it will not be into port until 7-8 PM Sunday evening.
  22. Just take a picture of it on your phone. They do not ask to see them.
