I've read it's best to arrive the day before cruise. Any recommendations for places to stay near Port Everglades/Ft Lauderdale, FL?

Are you particular about any specific hotel Debra? Will a bare-bones (but nationwide chain)motel do it for you? the Captain thought he'd ask before he suggests something.

We stayed at the Best Western Oceanside, it was very nice, clean,quiet,
a nice heated pool you could see the ships pull into port from a distance, it was walking distance to the ocean, and they gave you a full breakfest in the morning,

We love the Embassy Suites on 17th. We have also stayed at the Hyatt and Bahia Mar. You can try priceline for a good deal too.
