Smiling Sue Posted June 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hi. We are flying in to FLL and cruising the next day out of Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale). Does anyone have a good hotel recommendation that provides transportation preferably from the airport to the hotel and the next day, from the hotel to the cruise ship. Many thanks.

Kamloops50 Posted June 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2017 First most hotels charge for shuttles to Port Everglades . The hotels nearest the port are only $20 trip from the airport . About the same to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Springhill Suites, Dania Beach. Free airport shuttle, free shuttle to the cruise port, free internet, free breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipgeeks Posted June 23, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2017 We like Extended Stay America on 17th Street. Free shuttle from airport to hotel, $4 (I think) shuttle from hotel to port. Nice clean hotel, very pleasant staff, good location for those of us without use of a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted June 23, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) I wouldn't pick a hotel just for that short ride. Find hotels in your budget. If you have a full day to enjoy Fort L., I'd rather stay there than nearer the airport, where you'll need uber/cab to visit the city.

Rare LHT28 Posted June 23, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hyatt Place 17th st has free shuttle from the airport a shuttle to the port for a fee but if there are 2 + of you just get a taxi it was cheaper Taxi from PE to FLL was less than $20 incl tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swscruiser Posted June 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Also the shuttle to the port will be very crowded with multiple stops at the other piers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted June 23, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 23, 2017 www.sunny.org has lots of FLL area hotel and tourist info. I agree with the above advice not to choose a hotel based upon shuttles -- taxis and Uber are easy and cheap options that allow you to stay where you want.

Rare 4cats4me Posted June 23, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Shuttling to the port can take as long as 45-60 mins if several shios are in port. Cab is 5-10 mins. Hyatt place shuttle is $2 for your party. Their shuttle to port is $7 pp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cab is 5-10 mins.... ^ These replies, exactly. I know a shuttle (free or otherwise) is a somewhat attractive offer, but why would someone want to shuttle with potentially dozens of others and their luggage when you can take a cab or Uber and be there so much sooner? We never choose a hotel based on a shuttle. We stay where we want to stay and make our own arrangements. :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearette Posted June 23, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I usually stay at Dania Beach Spring Hill Suites. Depending on how many people you may find a better located hotel for cheaper as it is around $20 for a cab or uber to the hotels and airport or port. It depended on your priorities for amenities and price. The shuttles are usually offered by the airport hotels, but not all do a cruise shuttle.
