There is no need to stay at a hotel unless you have some reason to spend a day in Ft. Lauderdale.

The ships sail in the late afternoon. You will have plenty of time to drive from TV to the Port. The Port has two covered, multi-story garages. These are conveniently located among the berths for the ships. On Google maps, you will see which garage is most convenient for you.

You can drop of your luggage at the terminal and then go on to the garage, or park in the garage and then pull your bags with you. The walk from the garage is hardly a city block in length.

The daily charge for parking in the garage is very reasonable and, certainly, less than the cost of a hotel for the night and any charges it has to park.

We've done this many times. It is both the most convenient and the cheapest.
