Nothing to do with that but to all you can’t park at Brownwood hotel and take the shuttle to the airport anymore. FYI

If you are driving to the pier and your ship sails at 4:00pm on a Saturday, what time would you leave the Villages for the cruise port ? We live in the Village of Hillsborough.
We have not ever driven to the cruise port of Fort Lauderdale. Thanks for any suggestions.

I would leave around 6 am. Stuff happens and would want just in case time.

To avoid problems we normally would spend the night at the port. Very annoying to miss the ship.

More important is when your boarding time is. I would leave at least 6 hours before your boarding time.
Sometimes they let you in early if there is not a long line already.

We always us Embassy Suites by the cruise port. They have a shuttle and parking too for your car as well.

I am writing you from the Lido deck of our 14-day cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale.

We paid $118.37 to leave our car with Park by the Ports. Excellent service and never touched our luggage. We fly back from NYC after 17 days of parking for that price, and they pick us up at the airport instead. Not your case, but maybe nice for others to know.

No transfer fees either way. Consider just driving down on cruise day like we did. Cheap, easy luggage handling, reliable, and simple. No worries or hassles with coordination. Put your bags in the car. Drive. Park. Cruise.

No actually on point be we are currently shipboard out of Ft. Lauderdale. We got a ride to MCO and took the Brightline down to Ft. Lauderdale and then an Uber. Very comfortable and easy.
