Tru by Hilton Airport FAQ
Does Tru by Hilton Airport have a cruise shuttle?
Not that it publishes. Hilton's pages list no port shuttle. An undated "TRU Voyage" flyer hosted on Visit Jacksonville's site offers a one-way shuttle to JAXPORT per registered guest, with no price or return; Hilton doesn't mention it, so we don't score it.
Does Tru by Hilton Airport have an airport shuttle?
Yes, from Jacksonville International. Free shuttle; hours not stated. Hilton puts the airport 2 miles away.
Can I park at Tru by Hilton 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 Tru by Hilton Airport from the JAXPORT cruise terminal?
Hilton lists the JAXPORT 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 3:00 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?
Free hot breakfast; hours not stated. 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: on site, per the hotel. 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.
Booking the cruise too?
Tell us your dates and we'll line up the ship, the hotel and the ride. A real advisor does the work. No obligation.
