take their park and cruise package.


Take a look at this website, it has hotels that if you stay one night,
you can leave your car while you are gone. We booked a a parksleepfly
package with them when we flew to St. Thomas and it worked well.

Hi Sue,

I'm just curious. I haven't cruised out of Florida for many years, perhaps
ten, but when I did, I found Ft Lauderdale far superior to any of the other
Florida ports. Cleanliness, friendliness, convenience to airport all
favored Ft. L. on my cruises. Is that still the case, or have you had the
same experience? Any others wish to offer their thoughts? I've had a few
ports that were really pleasant, Baltimore for instance, and that becomes a
serious factor in selecting my cruises. I like good experiences.

We have cruised out of Fort Lauderdale many times recently. Taxi's are
easy to get and not all that expensive. Hotels can be very expensive,
but that depends on the time of year and also the hotel you pick. If you
stay at a hotel on 17th st., there are lots of restaurant and stores
within walking distance. We haven't cruised out of Miama for some time,
so I can't comment on it.

We cruised out of Tampa last year and found it to be a very good
experience and will be cruising out of Tampa again in a few days. Last
time we stayed at one of the Holiday Inn's that had shuttle service from
the airport and to the pier. On the way home we took a taxi to the
airport, no problems. This time we are staying at the Residence Inn by
the airport and if you remind me when we get home, I can give you more
information. The port and the airport impressed us last time, will see
what we feel this time.

Keep in mind that when we fly down for a cruise, we go a day ahead and
just hang around the hotel area, we don't do any sightseeing.

I have gone on cruises out of Ft. Lauderdale 4 times (Princess and Costa
cruises) in the past 2 years and have enjoyed the port, it's closeness to
the airport and hotels, etc. We always go down to the area the night before
and then use the hotel's shuttle to the port. I have only had a bad
experience one time and that was the first time I sailed on Princess and
that issue has been resolved by the port and cruise line so it won't happen
again to us or anyone else. I think the port is easier to use than Port
Canaveral, Miami, Los Angeles or New Orleans. I also think you are
correct in the friendliness of the people working at the port.
