Hyatt Place Airport FAQ
Does Hyatt Place Airport have a cruise shuttle?
Not that it publishes. Hyatt says it plainly: "Shuttle service to the Jacksonville Cruise Port/JAXPORT is not available through the hotel," though the desk will refer you to transportation companies.
Does Hyatt Place Airport have an airport shuttle?
Yes, from Jacksonville International. Free shuttle to and from the airport and anywhere within three miles, on a set schedule every 30 minutes.
Can I park at Hyatt Place Airport while I cruise?
The hotel doesn't say. Self-parking is complimentary; valet isn't offered. Hyatt says nothing about leaving the car for a cruise.
How far is Hyatt Place Airport from the JAXPORT cruise terminal?
Hyatt gives no distance to the port. 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 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?
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?
Free, at The Breakfast Bar. 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 stated. 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.
