cruznliz Posted September 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 8, 2018 We'll be needing 3 hotel rooms for the night before our cruise in March 2019. DH and I stayed in Fort Lauderdale once many years ago and had a view of the port. Unfortunately I can't remember the name or where it was. Can anyone recommend a good hotel that's not too expensive? :eek::eek::eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteerageJoe Posted September 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Hilton? - link to hotel info Will be the best views until Pier 66 Tower reopens. Top floors of Embassy Suites, Renaissance and Crowne Plaza also offer limited views Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're looking at $300 or more per night. Don't wait to reserve. You might want to try Hyatt Place using www.valuetrips.com Lots of threads on hotels.

cruznliz Posted September 9, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Thanks for the links! I ended up booking the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina through Hilton. It was cheaper going through Hilton than Booking.com or Expedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perkydebrajean Posted September 12, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 12, 2018 We stayed at the Hilton Ft Lauderdale Marina a couple of months ago before our cruise. Had a room facing the port and woke up at 5am so that I could sit out on the balcony and watch our ship arrive. Great view and will more than likely stay there again next year.

rkacruiser Posted September 12, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I understand your desire of seeing your ship arriving into Port. There is also another view that is worth considering: the before dawn line-up of ships entering Port Everglades that is visible from an oceanfront room near the Port's entrance. I had such at the Marriott Harbor Beach. The ships, fully lighted, lined up and arriving one at a time was quite a sight. And, if you are there when the ships sail in the afternoon, more good views.

ChuckL Posted September 13, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Several years ago we were sailing on the Allure of the Seas on a Sunday. We got a really great price at the Ritz and stayed there for 2 nights before our cruise. On Saturday we were on the pool deck at the hotel which as I recall was about 2 miles from the entrance to Port Everglades We were able to watch the towering Oasis of the Seas leaving the port and got some great photos from a distance. Made us that much more excited to be cruising out on her sister ship the next day. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
