The Courtyard offers its own ride to the ship, but won't say what it costs. Marriott says the hotel provides daily transportation to the port on request, for an exclusive additional fee, and parking is $15 a day.
That unpublished fare, and a paid breakfast, are why it sits seventh. It edges out the Aloft on the tiebreak: $15 a day beats Aloft's weekly rate once you do the division.
Call for the ride price when you book, and get it in the confirmation.
