I got Embassy Suites for 9/27/03 on Priceline, bidding 3 star Downtown Fort Lauderdale for 65.00 If your balcony faces port you will see your ship come. I also got Amerisuites for 10/5 bidding 37.00 for 2 1/2 star. Both of these are so close to port you can see the ships. We take cabs rather than the shuttle as too many people are waiting for it and cab is minimal money.
Hi Matt! There are several good hotels very near to the port. Most popular are the Amerisuites, Holiday Inn Express, Embassy Suites, Marriott Marina, Hyatt Pier 66, Renaissance. Most of these are available through Priceline or Hotwire. For more information on how to get these hotels through these services, try <http://www.biddingfun.com> which is designed for cruisers.
Our preferred is Marriott Marina, but Embassy Suites is good too. We also bid priceline Downtown area, 3* and our bid and get one of the two. It's the best way to go. However, all the hotels brother John mentioned are good ones for a pre/post-cruise stay.
