Practical answers for the things that actually decide a stay near the cruise terminals.
Every hotel on this page shows its own distance on its full review. Check which terminal your ship uses first — in a multi-terminal port, the nearest hotel to one can be far from another.
Shuttles are listed only where we could confirm them, and they are never a guarantee. Confirm the timetable directly with the hotel close to your sailing date.
Park-and-cruise packages are common at cruise ports and are listed where confirmed. Check the number of nights included and whether the rate covers the whole voyage.
Before, if your journey to the port is long or involves a flight. After, if disembarkation is early and your onward travel is not. Many travellers do both.
Terminal assignments are set by the cruise line and can move. Check your booking documents rather than assuming, especially in ports with several terminals.
Many do, and it is listed where confirmed. It matters more than usual here, since embarkation is often hours after hotel checkout.
Work back from your boarding window, not from the departure time, and add margin for port traffic on a busy sailing day.
Start from the terminal your ship actually uses, then compare shuttle, parking and luggage against the total cost across two or three full reviews.
