Planning a cruise departing from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale? In this video, I review the Best Western Fort Lauderdale Airport/Cruise Port hotel, a popular pre-cruise hotel near Port Everglades and the Fort Lauderdale airport. Many travelers fly in the day before their cruise and need a hotel that is clean, comfortable, and convenient for getting to the ship.
We stayed here before our cruise and evaluated the hotel based on the things that matter most for a one-night pre-cruise stay: a clean room, comfortable bed, free breakfast, and transportation. This hotel offers an airport shuttle from Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and transportation to Port Everglades cruise port, which can make embarkation day much easier.
But do the online reviews tell the whole story?
In this honest Fort Lauderdale pre-cruise hotel review, we show the room, breakfast area, and hotel amenities while discussing the real experience compared to the ratings on sites like Expedia, Booking.com, and TripAdvisor. If you're searching for a hotel near Port Everglades before your cruise, this review may help you decide if this hotel is the right choice.
Whether you're sailing with Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Holland America, or another cruise line departing from Port Everglades, choosing the right Fort Lauderdale cruise hotel can make the start of your vacation much smoother.
