Hollywood hotels to Port Everglades
Flying in the night before your cruise is the single best insurance policy in travel, and Hollywood is where smart Port Everglades passengers sleep. Hotel rates along Hollywood Beach and around Young Circle routinely beat the Fort Lauderdale waterfront, and the port is only six to nine miles up the road.
On sailing morning there is no reason to gamble on a walk-up cab. Book a pickup time the night before, and your driver is in the lobby or the hotel loading zone at that minute. From the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk hotels the drive north on A1A or US-1 to the Eller Drive port entrance takes about fifteen minutes; from downtown Hollywood closer to twenty.
Boarding for most Port Everglades sailings opens around 11:00 AM. Leaving your hotel between 10:15 and 10:45 puts you at the terminal as lines start moving, ahead of the midday crush. Fares start at $75 for up to three passengers, and an SUV for a family with a week of luggage costs less than two separate cabs.
