An all-suite Four Points by the airport, ninth. Marriott publishes $17 a day or $119 a week to park, which is the closest thing to a cruise rate on this side of town without a package.
The airport shuttle is free on request.
It doesn't call the weekly rate cruise parking, so ask. There's no port shuttle, breakfast is paid, and the pool is indoors — heated, which some people prefer.
A week's parking for $119 and a rideshare to the ship is a fair sail morning. Confirm the week covers your dates.

- Drivers on a seven-night cruise who want a weekly rate
- Groups who want a suite with a living area
- Anyone who likes an indoor pool
Look elsewhere if
