Port Everglades hotels with a cruise shuttle

No hotel is within walking distance of Terminals 18 to 29, and the airport hotels are 10 to 13 minutes from them by car, so unless you sail from Terminal 2 or 4 and stay on 17th Street, you need a ride to the ship. The port’s own advice is that many area hotels provide transport and that you should ask your hotel. These are the 14 whose own websites, as they read on October 28, 2026, say they run, sell or arrange a ride to the port.

Most of them don’t say which terminal they stop at. Port Everglades has two groups of terminals about a mile apart, so give the driver the terminal number on your cruise documents. The table lists the hotels near the port entrance first, then those by and beyond the airport.

Is there a free shuttle to Port Everglades?

Two, each with conditions.

The Omni Fort Lauderdale Hotel, on port property, offers free shuttle transport to the cruise terminals “for eligible cruise guests and select cruise packages”, in the words of its transportation page. Its other pages describe it differently: one says it is for guests sailing from Fort Lauderdale, another that it runs to and from the port for select packages, and the FAQ says it depends on cruise departure times. Its Sail & Stay offer includes the shuttle. Email the hotel to book it, and confirm that your booking qualifies.

The Rodeway Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port, on State Road 84 west of I-95, runs free trips to the port at 10 and 11 AM and charges $5 a person for its 9 AM and 12, 1 and 2 PM runs. You sign up at the front desk for a ticket and wait in the lobby 15 minutes before. After the cruise you call the hotel once you have all your bags, and the hotel says the wait is 25 to 40 minutes. The Rodeway is 12 minutes from Terminals 2 and 4 by car and 18 from Terminals 18 to 29.

How much do the paid shuttles cost?

• Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port & Convention Center, 17th Street area: $10 a person. Departure times follow the cruise schedules; arrange it at the front desk.
• Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale 17th Street: $15 a person, booked at the concierge desk.
• Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Airport - South & Cruise Port, Dania Beach: $15 a ride or $30 round trip, leaving at 10 AM, 11 AM and noon. The hotel says prices may change.
• Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port, Griffin Road: $20 a person, run by Fort Lauderdale Shuttles from a desk in the lobby, leaving at 10:15 AM, 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM.

Which hotels charge without publishing a price?

Eight more say they run or arrange a ride for a fee, or don’t say what it costs:

• Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina: shuttles to the port for a fee, and its Cruise Package (plan code P0) includes breakfast and transport to the port.
• Aloft by Marriott Fort Lauderdale Airport, SE 24th Street: a partner-run shuttle for a fee.
• Hampton Inn & Suites Ft. Lauderdale Airport/South Cruise Port and Home2 Suites Ft. Lauderdale Airport-Cruise Port: fee-based rides to the port.
• Four Points by Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport - Dania Beach: arranged transport to Port Everglades and PortMiami, with a fee.
• Homewood Suites Ft. Lauderdale Airport-Cruise Port: a “charter service” to the port, without a price.
• Courtyard Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port: port transport on request for an extra fee.
• Hilton Garden Inn Ft. Lauderdale Airport-Cruise Port: transport to the port for an extra fee.

Ask the price and the times when you book the room.

Can I get a ride back after the cruise?

Few hotels say so. The Rodeway picks you up after the cruise, and the Hyatt Place Airport South sells a $30 round trip. The Omni’s cruise page mentions rides to and from the port for select packages. The Fairfield describes its transfers as one way to the port.

For flights home the same day, the Rodeway sells a third-party ride from the port to the airport on disembarkation day for $15 a person, from 7 AM to 1 PM, paid in advance. Otherwise it is a taxi, and the port’s own page gave the average fare between the airport and the port as $18 to $21 on October 28, 2026.

Which shuttles also go to PortMiami?

Three hotels mention rides to Miami’s cruise port as well: the Fairfield by the airport, the Four Points Dania Beach and the Rodeway, which charges extra for it. None of them publishes a Miami fare.

Is Hilton’s Park, Stay & Go a cruise shuttle?

Not on its own. The Hilton Marina, the Embassy Suites, the Homewood, the Home2 and both Hampton Inns list Hilton’s brand-wide Park, Stay & Go: one night with up to 7 nights’ parking and a shuttle to “select airports and cruise ports”. Hilton’s terms say only some hotels serve cruise ports and tell you to check with the hotel. Five of the six run their own ride to the port anyway; the Hampton Inn Airport North lists none, so it isn’t in this table.
