Fairfield doesn't run the port shuttle itself, and it still ranks third. Marriott lists Fort Lauderdale Shuttles at $20 a person with three departures — 10:15 AM, 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM — and the hotel keeps your car for $10 a day or $70 a week.
Breakfast is free, and so is the FLL shuttle, every hour, day and night. It beats the Hyatt Place on the tiebreak because it publishes a parking rate, not because it's the nicer hotel.
For dinner, Marriott puts two seafood places 0.3 miles away.

How far is Fairfield Airport & Cruise Port from Port Everglades?

Can I check in early or check out late on cruise days?
Check-in is 3:00 PM and check-out 12:00 PM. The hotel doesn't publish early or late terms, so ask when you book, not on the day.
Will the hotel hold my bags?
The hotel doesn't say. Most hotels will hold bags between check-out and a late shuttle, but that's a call to make, not an assumption.
Does the port shuttle come back for me after the cruise?
The hotel publishes only the ride to the port. the port lists Van on Demand booths at the terminals ($11 a person to FLL, $25 to MIA, parties of three or more), and taxis run on the meter.
What's the breakfast timing on sail morning?
Free hot buffet and grab-and-go. Mon–Fri 6:30–9:30 AM, Sat–Sun 7:00–10:00 AM. Your terminal check-in window is in your cruise documents, and the port asks you not to arrive before it.
Can I park an oversized vehicle or charge an EV?
EV charging: not on site. Clearance and oversized parking aren't published. The port's garages have a 7-foot clearance, and oversized vehicles up to 24 feet park by calling 954-468-3680.
