DoubleTree Airport FAQ
Does DoubleTree Airport have a cruise shuttle?
Not that it publishes. Hilton lists no cruise shuttle for this hotel. Its Park, Stay & Go terms say some hotels may also serve nearby cruise ports, and to check with the hotel before booking.
Does DoubleTree Airport have an airport shuttle?
Yes, from Jacksonville International. Free shuttle, 24 hours. The hotel is on the airport grounds.
Can I park at DoubleTree Airport while I cruise?
Yes, but the price isn't published. Hilton lists its Park, Stay & Go offer here: a one-night stay with parking for up to 7 nights, one car per room. The price isn't shown, and Hilton says to check with the hotel about cruise-port service before booking.
How far is DoubleTree Airport from the JAXPORT cruise terminal?
Hilton lists the Jacksonville Cruise Terminal 10 miles away. It sits in our airport, I-95 & I-295 band.
Can I check in early or check out late on cruise days?
Check-in is 4:00 PM and check-out 11:00 AM. 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?
There's no hotel shuttle to the port. JAXPORT's franchised taxi runs from the terminal to the airport on the meter, and the port puts JAX about 12 miles away.
What's the breakfast timing on sail morning?
Paid, at Frequency. Plan coffee on the way if you're leaving early.
Can I park an oversized vehicle or charge an EV?
EV charging: not on site. Clearance and oversized parking aren't published. The port charges $34 a day for anything that takes up more than one space, in its fenced lot beside the terminal.
