Aloft is the one for bigger dogs and a week of parking. It publishes a $150 weekly parking rate, runs a free FLL shuttle, and takes two pets up to 70 lb each.
The ride to the ship is a partner shuttle with no published fare, and breakfast costs extra, so it ranks eighth, a tiebreak behind the Courtyard. There's no daily cruise rate, only the weekly one — a sailing longer than a week means asking what the extra days cost.
