About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Looking for a place to stay before your next cruise? We stayed at the Home2 Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale Downtown twice - once before our 8-night sailing on Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas and again before our 4-night Liberty of the Seas sailing. In this video we give you a tour of our room, the rooftop pool, the breakfast situation, and the shuttle details for Port Everglades and Port Miami. Hotel cost varies, but we felt it was a good value for the location, room type, and time of year we were there.
