Night-Before Score
The verdict

Four Points feeds you all day and runs to PHL all night. Café Rusto serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, the PHL shuttle is free 24 hours, and the outdoor pool opens Memorial Day to Labor Day — about 4.3 road miles from the ship by our routing.

Breakfast isn't free, Marriott says plainly. Parking is $25 a day. The "Park and Stay package" that Marriott's Aloft page mentions comes with no terms, and it reads like parking for the stay, not the cruise — so we don't score it.

Its building stands beside the Sheraton Suites tower on the 4101 lot. On points it ties with Aloft, a block up Island Avenue, and the alphabet puts Aloft first.

Ask what Park and Stay includes if you're driving; otherwise book it for the restaurant and the late shuttle.

Book it if

  • Three meals in the building
  • A summer swim — the pool opens Memorial Day
  • A late landing

Look elsewhere if

  • You're under 21.
  • You want free breakfast.
  • You're sailing between Labor Day and Memorial Day and want the pool.

Heading out
To the terminal

By our routing the drive from Four Points Airport to the terminal is about 11 minutes on empty roads — so leave room for real ones, and don’t arrive before 9:30.
