Bruin Steve Posted February 20, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Will be staying in Fort Lauderdale for one night prior to cruise which leaves from Miami on March 14. Any suggestions? Why Fort Lauderdale...and not Miami...if you are cruising out of Miami? I take it you are flying in there...Is it a late arrival time? I would just stay somewhere with a free airport shuttle... We usually end up at the Springhill Suites (a Marriott product) in Dania Beach--near the airport...

sunshade11 Posted February 20, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Well my plan was to stay at hotel in Fort Lauderdale with free shuttle from airport and then on Sat. take SAS transportation to the Miami pier. Hotels seem cheaper in Fort Lauderdale as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdobrott Posted February 20, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The Hyatt House or Hyatt Place are good options. I believe they have a shuttle service to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mduffy1834 Posted February 20, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It's spring break - most hotels in either Fort Lauderdale or Miami are going to be at a premium, if you can find one at all. We like the Embassy Suites, but it is sold out the day before our cruise (3/22). Have a great cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mommy Posted February 20, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The Hilton near the pier is lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilghallinsf Posted February 20, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2015 We do the same thing and everything is much cheaper than Miami. We stay at the w. I always use my airline miles to pay for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyCruises Posted February 20, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 20, 2015 First of all, I would get right on it. That is prime time. I like to use Hotwire for hotels, I book the secret rates (by stars and reviews) and have always done well. But I have done well in Miami too, got the Intercontinental at a great rate. It pays to check. You are limiting yourself if you want a free shuttle from the airport, may be worth $10-15 cab ride to get a better deal on a hotel. Start by looking for hotels just by the airport though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to Cruise Critic. This place is a wonderful resource of information. In addition to cruise line specific forums (like Celebrity), there are other forums for information on ports of call, and other general interest categories. In fact, the link I will provide here will take you to a a Fort Lauderdale Q&A thread to help you with any additional port specific questions you want to post for answers that are not specific to Celebrity.
