FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, UNITED STATES, August 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rodeway Inn & Suites - Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port, a budget-friendly, full-service 3-star cruise hotel near Fort Lauderdale Port Everglades Cruise Port and near the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), is making preparations for more guests and more cruise traffic as Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades prepares for expansion.— Benny Fresco, General Manager
Port Everglades recently welcomed one of the world’s largest ships, the MSC Vandya. Despite the MSC name belonging to a major cruise line, this ship is actually a cargo ship. The significance of MSC Vandya’s arrival was that the ship was forced to arrive at a fraction of its total load and capacity due to Port Everglades’ restrictions due to water depth and channel width, prompting widespread preparation for dredging and widening of the port.
The proposed plan calls for widening the main channel by 6 feet, and deepening by 2 feet. Once completed, the enlarged waterway will not only allow for larger cargo vessels to pass through, but will also pave the way to larger cruise ships, further increasing Port Everglades’ capacity.
The expansion of Port Everglades is aligning with the cruise industry’s overall agenda to significantly increase the number of ships and sailings coming out of South Florida into the Caribbean. As an award-winning cruise hotel and South Florida’s go-to destination for transportation to the cruise port and pre-and-post-cruise stays, Rodeway Fort Lauderdale is hard at work preparing for the influx of guests and cruise passengers.
Guests choosing Rodeway Inn & Suites - Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port hotel for their pre-and-post-cruise stays receive complimentary parking for the duration of the cruise on hotel premises, complimentary shuttle transportation to and from the Port Everglades cruise port.
