The Belgrove brings a full resort into a ranking built on logistics. AAA added it to its Four Diamond list in 2025, and it has three pools, The Spa at The Belgrove and Society 48 for seafood — about 5.4 road miles from the terminal by our routing.
It ranks eighteenth because cruise logistics don't reward resorts. No shuttle, no free breakfast unless you buy a package, and valet only at $48 a day.
Marriott's page doesn't mention a resort fee, so ask at booking. You must be 21.
Book it to make the night part of the trip, then take a cab to the port rather than paying $48 to leave the car.
Book it if
- A resort night before a short cruise
- A spa morning
- Two small dogs
Look elsewhere if
- You're under 21.
- You want to self-park.
- You want breakfast without buying a package.
Your night before, from here
From check-in to the gangway, using only what The Belgrove publishes.
Three pools with cabanas at $250, The Spa at The Belgrove, Society 48 for seafood and comfort food, the Deep End pool bar, the FlaminGO market and in-room dining.
Marriott's page lists no shuttle, to the port or the airport.
Breakfast comes only in a package: "Daily breakfast for two adults and two children under 12 years old".
Marriott gives no distance to the port; it puts the airport 6.6 miles away. Our routing makes the terminal about 5.4 road miles, about 14 minutes. That’s an empty-road figure — leave room for real traffic and for the 3:00 PM door.
Valet only, $48 a day, per Marriott — no self-parking and nothing on a cruise.
