Ten days from now I will have the answer for you; our plan is to get to the ship, get to our stateroom put stuff down and then go off the ship and take a taxi to the nearest store..............which is about 3 blocks away,,,,,,,,,,too far to walk with bundles................we will pick up water, 7 up and whatever.....................then back to ship.................will be about $10 someone on line told me a week or so ago. Yes, I was greatly disappointed the hotel is so far from the port,,,,,,,,,,,,,where all the happenings and the water taxi and tourist area is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but maybe the Princess help can get us there to enjoy the nite before our boarding,,,,,,,,,,at least I am hoping. We transit the Panama Canal for a 15 day cruise................so will be back on line Nov. 22,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sailinsal

I don't believe I've heard anything about Princess providing transportation for entertainment from the hotel, unfortunately. I'd count on being on your own for that.

It's a good business-type hotel, but it is a distance away from the "action" in Fort Lauderdale. Expect at least a 20-minute ride from the hotel to the port, it may be slightly longer.

Thanks Sailinsal and Burbunny for your replies.We definaltely don't care if we will be near any action as we will have just had a ten hour flight! It is a shame the hotel is so far from the port though, it would be nice to be able to see the port from the hotel!
This is a package deal with our Princess air so they will shuttle bus us to the port in the morning, wonder if we could persuade our bus driver to stop by a liquor store on the way!? LOL
