Property was good, close to amenities. Close enough to Uber to the cruise port for less than the third party shuttle service offered by the hotel. Would recommend staying the night before a cruise or the night after a cruise because it’s very close to the airport as well ~ less than 15mins to airport or to the cruise terminals
