Sorry, not cruising until later in the month.
Just wanted to be sure that you know that there are motorcoach connections available, which can be purchased through the cruise line. I think that for my last cruise this was a mere $65 roundtrip.
Cruise Connection operates the coaches. Leave from the McDonald's across 27/441 from the Wal-Mart at 6:40am, arrive Port Everglades a bit after noon.
Return usually gets back to McDonald's just after 4:00pm, but their schedule says closer to 6:00pm.
It's an easy way to go. I believe parking at the port is now just about $15 a day, so a seven-day cruise would probably cost $120 (you'd undoubtedly run up an eight-day fee), whereas two round trips by coach would only be $130. And, no hassles of driving!
