Homewood Suites on I-65 is for the family that wants a door between the beds. Hilton lists studio and multi-room suites with kitchens, a free hot breakfast, free parking and an outdoor pool, 8 miles from MOB.
The terminal is about 9.5 road miles away by our routing, 15 minutes with no traffic, and there's no shuttle to it.
Nothing on Hilton's page covers a car left for the cruise. Pets are $75, and there's no restaurant — the kitchen's the dinner plan.
Book a multi-room suite if the kids need their own space, and drive downtown on sail morning.
