We are going on a cruise out of Port of Ft Lauderdale and are flying down to pick up the ship. Never been to the area just wondering what places you all would suggest.

I usually go to PMP and use Sheltair. I go down there several times a year. You'll speak to Janie 9 out of 10 times. She knows me. Tell her the RV-8 guy with the colorful paint job sent you! They will give you your own lockable T-hangar for about $40/night. Weird thing is if you get gas from them, they'll give you a night's tie-down for free, but no discount for the hangar. So I hangar with them, but then get my gas at the SS pump at the SW corner of the field.
FXE has gotten to become a big pain in the rear. I learned to fly there, but it has gotten very busy and expensive. Last time I was there it was $70/night for a large community hangar at Banyan. And because they were moving jets and turboprops in and out all day, my airplane sat outside more than it was inside. I don't go there any more.
HWO might be a good choice, but I don't have any info or recent experience on it. I don't know much about BCT either, but I would expect it and PBI to be pricey.
Good luck!
