Homewood matches the leaders on everything except the ride. Parking is among the cheapest published near the port, the suites have kitchens, and breakfast is free.
The hotel doesn't run its own cruise shuttle — it points you to Go Port, a separate company. By its own account the terminals are five minutes away, so a taxi or rideshare is a short one — price it in before you compare.

- Families who want a kitchen and cheap parking
- Travelers with a pet
- Anyone happy to grab a rideshare for a five-minute trip
Look elsewhere if
- You want a hotel van waiting at the door on sail day.
