We also stay at the Embassy Suites.

They haven't had shuttles in a couple of years.

But it is a short taxi ride to the pier -- also a short ride from the airport to the hotel.

There are the Harbor Shops right behind the hotel that has Total Wine, Publix, restaurants, etc.

TRy Hyatt Place - its right behind Embassy SUites - nice place, huge rooms, great location and often you can get a good price in Dec ($85 for Dec 10). Free shuttle from airport and to pier. Free cont. breakfast.

Next to Harbor Plaza shops and Total Wine.

I am staying at the Hyatt at Pier 66 the night before I sail on the Zuiderdam in October.

I like it because the Intercostal Water Taxi stops there and I can go all over the afternoon before I sail. The Hyatt at Pier 66 is very close to the ships. By Taxi or bus one can be at the ship in 5 or 7 minutes.

We are staying at the Marriott Renaissance (4-star) and got a great price on Priceline ($60/night for two nights). Lots of stuff nearby, easy taxi to pier and hotel and the Sun Trolley stops in front.

I stayed there a couple of years ago and it is a great hotel I would Highly recommend it to anyone. It is about a two block walk to the Water Taxi and when I went to the ship the cab ride was less than five minutes away. Just North of there is a little shopping center and there is a geat Italian Restaurent there.

If you really want to treat yourself then the Lago Mar is the place to stay. By far the nicest hotel/resort in Ft Lauderdale. ;)

When we go do we stay at the Comfort Suites Airport and Cruiseport. They have shuttle service to and from the airport and the pier.

Marriott's SpringHill Suites is near the airport and offers a free shuttle to the cruise port. We have it booked for December. I have never stayed in this hotel, but I have been in other SpringHill Suites. All were comfortable and provide a little extra room over a standard hotel.

Booked for the 1st of Nov and the rate included a transfer to the ship. They may have changed ??

If you are driving down we stay in the La Quinta because you can leave your vehicle there for free for up to 30 days.

 

They provide shuttle to the port and you have to provide your own transportation back to the hote.

We always stay at Hyatt Pier 66 and love it there. We've enjoyed a great many stays through the years.

 

The doorman will get you a taxi and it is about 7 minutes to the ship from there. Fare is around $7.
