Matt Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hilton Marina has a good reputation as well as the Marriott Spring Hill Suites in Dana Beach. They have free shuttle from airport to hotel, free shuttle to cruiseport and free breakfast. markinct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacyleigh75 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I can't provide a personal recommendation (yet!), but we are booked at the Cambria Suites next month: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g34168-d1583915-Reviews-Cambria_Suites_Ft_Lauderdale_Airport_South_Cruise_Port-Dania_Beach_Florida.html They got 4 1/2 out of 5 stars on Trip Advisor, give free shuttle transfers to/from the airport and $5/pp transfers to the port. Breakfast doesn't appear to be included (not a deal breaker for our group). Good luck and enjoy Oasis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakfast doesn't appear to be included (not a deal breaker for our group). Good luck and enjoy Oasis! I've had good experience at Cambria Suites in both Miami and DC. They're a newer chain with new hotels and are fully suites or mini suites depending on the room booked. The only downside is that their laundry room is a single washer and dryer. I also don't know if the FLL location offers any type of shuttle service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Embassy Suites, $9 cab ride from FLL to this area of town, Total Wine 1 block away and restaurantsand its 1 mile to the port. Residence Inn Across the Street, Holiday Inn Express and Hilton Marina all in this area and super easy to get to Port from here - just focus on 17th Street in FLL. Just visited in August. More high end try Marriot Harbour Beach, right on the beach and 2miles from Port Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markinct Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 We're sailing on Oasis in April - my first cruise, too! I just booked a room at the Crowne Plaza. Free airport shuttle and $8 per person cruise port shuttle. Crowne Plaza Airport/Cruise port I booked through Hotels.com, but it appears that you can get the same price from their site or others. michelle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcarney Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Embassy Suites, $9 cab ride from FLL to this area of town, Total Wine 1 block away and restaurants and its 1 mile to the port. We stayed here before our November 2012 cruise and enjoyed it, nice breakfast in the morning and shuttles to the port (I don't remember if there was a fee for the shuttle, if there was it must not have been enough to warrant noting). In April 2014 we stayed at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina... well, I should say that we intended to spend a whole day there, but due to Southwest Airlines' complete and utter incompetence our 3.5 hour trip turned into a 17 hour ordeal, and the only part of the hotel we saw was the elevator up to our room late that night so I can't comment on the amenities. You can purchase transfers from RCCL from this hotel to the dock I (I didn't know this until the morning of our departure for the ship; I always assumed it was for airports only).
