Why you may want a hotel the night before your cruise

Flights are less reliable than they used to be. Weather, mechanical delays, and missed connections are common enough that we plan around them, not against them.

A pre-cruise hotel gives you a buffer. If your flight is delayed, you still make the ship. If it lands on time, you get a relaxed dinner and a walk instead of a rushed cab ride.

Shelly can help you pick a hotel that fits the port. Some are walkable to the ship, some include shuttle service, and some are quieter than others.
