There are a number of hotels that provide free parking with a pre-cruise or post-cruise stay. Type "park, sleep, fly" or "park, sleep, cruise" into your search engine (this works for other cities too..). Some with upcoming availability include: Hyatt Place Ft Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port FLL Hyatt Summerfield Suites Ft Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port Hilton Garden Inn Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood Airport Hampton Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale-Airport South FLL Homewood Suites Ft. Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port FLL Springhill Suites Ft. Lauderdale FLL Holiday Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport FLL Several of these are easily identifiable on Hotwire by their services offered. Before booking though, it is probably worth a call to the Hotel to see if they will let you park your car using a Hotwire rate (just to be safe...) Most hotels in the area will provide shuttle service to/from the cruiseport. Also, I have found that if you contact area hotels directly, they will let you park a car for the duration of your cruise with 1-night pre or post cruise stay -- even if they don't advertise it on their websites. Normal rates apply (most are free, but some full-service hotels charge a daily rate so make sure you ask). Hope this helps.
