Hi all. We are cruising #12 Mircle out of Ft Lauderdale and was wondering of any reccomendations for hotel/motel stays. The cruise leaves Sun. We were thinking of flying in Fri night?

Cherbeth, I am doing early research for our December cruise on the Miracle. I have never been to Ft. Lauderdale, but I have come up with 2 options for hotel so far:
Comfort Inn Airport/Cruise Port. This one is very close to the airport and the ship. It offers a free shuttle service to and from both. Looks like just a plain but decent hotel, and very convenient. (If you book this one online, click on the "Internet User's Rate" button, and you will save some money.
Granada Inn B&B. This looks like a lovely little place with lots of character. It is a block off the beach, and walking distance to a lot of nice resturaunts, etc. I am definitely leaning toward this one. The taxi would be about $20 from the airport, and then about $10 to the ship.
Please let me know what you end up choosing.

Don. Funny thing. Last year we did the Liberty out of Ft Lauder. and had booked a room but come to find out it was distroyed in the hurricane. So we scrambled and did stay at the Comfort Inn you mentioned. It was nice. We were in walking distance to 4 or 5 restaurants to eat dinner. The Comfort Inn offered breakfast. Waffels,toast/muffins, cereal, coffee and juices.We also got the shuttle to the ship and we got picked up from the airport from Comfort Inn shuttle. They had a small pool we did use. We just didnot know if there was anything else out there. I have not looked yet but shuttles and places to walk are nice. We also took Comfort Inn van to the
boradwalk area and the driver told us to call the Inn when we want to get picked up. So all in all the Comfort Inn was a good deal for the money.
