Any recommendations for Hotels near Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale for 1 night before cruise

Hi we are going on a cruise for our wedding. To make sure everyone makes it for the cruise on time, we have asked everyone to arrive the day before. So we are searching for a hotel near port everglades in Fort Lauderdale. Does anyone have any recommendation for a good hotel. I would prefer a hotel that offers a shuttle from the airport to hotel and from hotel to Carnival port terminal.

Thanks for your help.

We are taking a Weddingmoon cruise next April and leaving from Ft. Lauderdale and I would like to do the same thing. I figured that way we could all go to the ship at the same time. We all live in north Florida so it would be nice if we could find a hotel that we could leave our car at, have the hotel shuttle us to the port and not have to pay the parking at the port. We did this when we flew to Mexico one time and it saved alot in parking fees. I have started searching for hotels and I'm going to call my travel agent and see if she knows of any, so I'll let you know what I find out. By the way Congratulations!

Coming for California I always need a hotel the night before a cruise. My favorite hotel is the Marriott Springhill Suite in Hollywood, FL. They will pick you up from the airport and take you to the cruise ship for free. The hotel is also a suite so you have a really nice room. I like that breakfast in the morning in included. The only negative is location. I would not walk around the neighborhood at night. There is a fast food restaurant right outside the hotel which I would go to. Most of the people staying are going on a ship the next day.

I've already been booted from here once for some weird reason so I'm afraid to post a link. I'm not sure if it breaks any rule. I found a site that you can request hotels to bid for your business. So far I've had 8 bids and I'm talking to a few of the hotel managers to find out more. I will let you know which hotel we finish with. If you want to link to request the bids, send me a message.
