We are staying at the AC for two nights before our January 2024 cruise so this was helpful! Thank you

Do they let you keep your car there over the length from the cruise? We found the Resident Inn by Marriot, Airport, lets you leave your car there for $8 a day vs $25 a day for Celebrity parking.

I've eaten at a First Watch. The food is good but it is not outstanding or gourmet.

Why not stay on Fort Lauderdale Beach? No way I’d stay in Dania Point 😝
