- The port has three entrances: SE 17th St at Eisenhower Blvd, State Road 84 at Spangler Blvd, and I-595 East at Eller Dr

- Book the hotel's port run ahead: Hyatt Place at the front desk the night before, the Omni by email
- Ask the hotel whether its port run is one way only before you plan the return

The Omni and its two terminals

Its cruise transfer is complimentary for eligible cruise guests and select packages, depending on the sailing schedule, and you set it up by email after booking. The Sail & Stay package lists 10 percent off the best available rate, the port shuttle, luggage storage on check-in and check-out days, and a $100 resort credit.

Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Airport South & Cruise Port, in Dania Beach, is an airport hotel with a free 24-hour shuttle to FLL. Its port shuttle leaves at 10, 11 and 12 and costs $15 per ride or $30 round trip. Pick the first one if the cruise is the point of the stay, the second if you land late and fly out early.
