Cheapest park-and-cruise packages near Port Everglades
⏳Verification pending — confirm directly with the hotel
1The situation
A park-and-cruise package bundles one night, parking for the length of the cruise, and a shuttle to the port. In Fort Lauderdale the maths is unusually clear because the alternative is well priced: the port garages are $20 a day, so a 7-night cruise costs about $160 in parking plus the transfers. The packages that win are the ones where the parking is genuinely free — the Cambria's 14 days, the Embassy Suites' seven nights — and where the per-person transfer is cheap. Watch that second number: a $20-a-head shuttle for a family of four is $160 return, which wipes out the entire parking saving on its own.
2What you actually need
The package's parking length, stated in days
Most cover 7 or 8 days. Longer Caribbean itineraries and transatlantics from Port Everglades run 10-14 nights and may need a daily add-on. Get it in writing.
Whether the shuttle is both ways and whether it's per person
Some packages include the outbound run and charge per head for the return. Some cover two people and charge extra for a third. The return rideshare is $10-20 if you'd rather skip it.
Which terminal the shuttle serves and when
Port Everglades terminals are spread over a mile and a half. A package shuttle with one morning departure that drops at the wrong end of the port is a problem you'll discover with your luggage in hand.
Cancellation terms
Packages are often prepaid. If the cruise line shifts your arrival window — it happens — you want a hotel that moves the shuttle, not one that keeps the money.

Each hotel is here because it meets the requirements above — not because of its star rating. Prices are nightly rates before tax for the default dates; volatile facts (shuttles, parking terms) are stated as what to confirm, not as promises.

Free parking for 14 days plus a $10-a-seat port transfer makes this the strongest package here on the numbers available, and the free FLL shuttle runs 5am-11pm. The trade-off is distance: it is about five miles from the terminals, further than the file previously said. Confirm the parking term and the transfer fare directly.
Parking
Free for up to 14 days with a cruise booking; a further 14 days at $10 per day plus tax. Confirm directly with the hotel.
Shuttle
Complimentary FLL airport shuttle 5am-11pm. Port transfer quoted at $10 per seat on the hotel's own site, though one listing describes it as free — confirm directly.

The Park, Stay & Go package covers one night plus parking for **up to seven nights** — a real, named product, not the 'has offered in the past' the draft suggested. The shuttle element is described as covering select airports, with the cruise port available at a surcharge, so confirm the port fare separately before you compare it with $160 of port garage.
Parking
Self-parking $36.00 per day, valet $41.00 per day for ordinary stays. Park, Stay & Go covers up to seven nights' parking. Confirm days covered directly with the hotel.
Shuttle
Airport shuttle $12 per person, 6am-10pm — not free. Cruise terminal shuttle for a surcharge, price unpublished. Confirm directly with the hotel.

Still an established package hotel on the airport side, but note the flag change: the Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port became a **Four Points by Sheraton** and Yelp lists the old Sheraton name as closed. Older package listings under the Sheraton name may not reflect current terms — confirm the day count and the shuttle time for your ship.
Parking
Self-parking quoted at about $10 per day / $70 per week; cruise-length parking via package. Confirm directly — two similarly named Four Points properties exist near FLL.
Shuttle
Complimentary 24-hour airport shuttle. Port transfer about $10 per person one way. Confirm directly.

Self-parking from about $12 a night and a $9-a-head port shuttle make this competitive without a formal package — no named park-and-cruise rate could be sourced. Ask whether they will hold the car for the cruise and at what daily rate, then compare against $160 at the port garage.

Package rate vs (room rate + about $160 port parking for a 7-night cruise + transfers for your whole party). Transfers are the variable that decides it: $9 a head each way for two people is $36; $20 a head for four is $160. Run it for your own party size, not per room.
Typical package premium over the plain room rate
No Fort Lauderdale hotel publishes a package rate card. What is documented is the parking length and the transfer price: Cambria 14 days free then $10/day, transfer $10 a seat; Embassy Suites up to seven nights, transfer a surcharge it does not publish; Hilton Garden Inn's package includes breakfast, transfer $20 per person each way. Packages are direct-booking rate codes. Confirm before booking.
Port parking alternative
$20 daily maximum for a standard vehicle and $25 for an oversized one; short stays are $4 for 0-1 hour and $8 for up to 5 hours. A 7-night cruise is therefore about $160. **The port does not accept reservations or pre-payment**, and a credit card is required — debit cards are not accepted. There are two garages, both with a **7-foot clearance**: Heron (1,818 spaces) serves Cruise Terminals 2 and 4, and Palm (1,966 spaces) serves Terminals 19, 21, 25, 26 and 29. RVs and trailers over standard height have limited options — call the port's parking team on 954-468-3680 before you drive down. Confirm rates at porteverglades.net.
Who runs packages
The Dania Beach airport cluster — Cambria, Hilton Garden Inn and the Four Points (formerly the Sheraton) — plus the Embassy Suites and Hyatt Place on 17th Street. Beach and Las Olas hotels don't. Note the Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port is now a Four Points by Sheraton, so older package listings under the Sheraton name may not reflect current terms.
Prices and schedules change. Treat figures as ranges and check before booking.
5What to avoid
⚠️Judging the package by the nightly rate alone. A $229 package beats a $149 room once a week of port parking and transfers are added.
⚠️Booking through an OTA and assuming the package is included. Use our link to reach the hotel, then book the package rate directly.
⚠️Leaving the car beyond the stated days without arranging the extension — the daily penalty rate is usually higher than the port garage.
⚠️Peak-week bookings (Christmas through Easter) made less than a month out — packages sell out before plain rooms do.
6Book
Use the rate links on each hotel above. If a hotel's value depends on a named package (park & cruise, shuttle), confirm the package with the hotel before you pay — packages are usually direct-booking rate codes, not OTA rooms.
