Creator's Key Takeaways

we recently had a cruise out of Port Everglades which is in Fort Lauderdale Florida

this hotel does offer free Airport pickup and drop off all you have to do is call them after you get your bags

we were actually upgraded to a corner King Room with a prominant View which is actually one of their top tier rooms

the bed in this hotel room was actually very comfortable it was super soft uh we got a great night's rest

Creator's Tips & Advice

Call the hotel after baggage claim for free airport shuttle pickup.
Check in on the second floor to avoid confusion with the valet desk.
Book through the Marriott Bonvoy app for potential room upgrades.
Consider Uber instead of the hotel's cruise shuttle for cheaper port transportation.
Explore nearby breakfast options for potentially lower prices than hotel breakfast.

YouTube Video Description

We stayed at the AC Hotel by Marriott Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port in Dania Beach, Fl for the night before our Celebrity Reflection cruise. This hotel was close to both the FLL Airport and Port Everglades. The Hotel offers free shuttle service to and from the airport. To use this service you'll have to call the hotel after you grab your bags from baggage claim and they'll tell you where to meet the shuttle. The hotel also offers a Cruise Port Shuttle for $20 per person. They have several time slots available for the shuttle and they start at 10am. To use this service all you have to do is inform the front desk and they'll add you to the list. We paid $19 to Uber from the hotel to the Port Everglades cruise port We paid $150 after taxes and fees for 1 night at this hotel in May 2024.
