Holiday Inn West is the one hotel in Mobile whose own page sells you the whole morning. IHG lists a park and cruise package with breakfast for up to four a room, free parking for the length of the cruise and "transportation to and from the Mobile Alabama Cruise Terminal", about 15 minutes by van.
That's why it ranks first, even out on Government Boulevard by I-10. Our routing puts the terminal about 11.9 road miles off — 16 minutes on empty roads, close to IHG's own figure.
Two cautions. The package has no price on the page, and its copy still names "the Carnival Cruise Ship Fantasy", a ship that no longer sails from Mobile — so the terms may be older than the page.
Call, ask for the park and cruise rate by name, and get the van times for your sailing before you book.
Book it if
- Drivers who want the car minded and a ride to the ship
- A family of four — breakfast covers up to four a room
- Flying into MOB with a day's notice to give
Look elsewhere if
- You want to walk to the ship.
- You want the package price before you call.
- You're under 21.
