Four Points is the cheap-parking pick on South Federal Highway. It publishes $10 a day or $70 a week to leave the car, and the FLL shuttle is free from 5 AM to midnight.
It ranks sixteenth because breakfast isn't free and Marriott lists no port shuttle. The tourism board says there's one for a small fee — a claim, not a rate — so ask at check-in and don't build the morning around it.

- Drivers on a budget who'll take a taxi to the ship
- Anyone who wants dinner and a drink at the hotel
Look elsewhere if
- You're bringing a pet.
