On betterbidding helper, for Port Everglades, June 11, I'm seeing a 2.5-star hotel with "100% recommendation!", for $91 There's also a 4-star for $87. Can anyone identify these hotels? Tks

Hi All-

I am so frustrated with the high prices of hotels! I used Priceline several years ago on a regular basis for business purposes and was quite successful and pleased.

We need a hotel for one night in FLL in Jan. 2018 for a Princess cruise.

My main question is; how far in advance can these sites offer a discounted price (Priceline, etc.)? Recent comments give me hope! However, I will need to give myself a refresher course.

Two other couples will be arriving from the airport and we will arrive via the Princess port (lucky us; off one and then onto another one!)

TIA for any tips and suggestions! :cool:

Sorry, but this is a site for listing winning bids on Priceline or Hot Wire. It is not a forum for advice on how to bid, where to get good prices, etc. There are other internet sources for that. It seems that the thread has lost it's original intent and we seem to be going off into the weeds a bit.

"However, I will need to give myself a refresher course."

I was not asking for bidding advice. I thought maybe some info could be provided on the area and recent bid wins. So many other posts did that; it went into the weeds about 4 posts after the thread began. OOOPs

Sorry to have bothered you.

Assuming you're flying into FLL and since hotels are usually cheaper in the greater FLL area than in the Miami area, I would have stuck with what you had. And it's just a short uber or lyft ride in the morning to go from your hotel to the Miami port.

 

Huh? We got a cheap airfare to FLL due to MIA being very pricey We had booked the Riverside in Ft Lauderdale for $188 a night. I have been tracking hotel fares in both Miami and FL. A great price came up for the Epic in Miami, which is where we sail from. I got the Epic for $117 per night, saving $70 per night for us, AND putting us within 10 minutes of our ship. It is a win win.

Why should I have stuck with what I had when I am now saving money and ended up in a five star hotel for much cheaper than the three star I'd previously booked. I never found anything in Ft Lauderdale that came close to what we are now paying and I've been Price tracking every day for several months.

Hotwire--1 night post cruise

November 12th-13th

FLL cruise port 3.5 stars New to Hotwire

Embassy Suites on 17th St

$138 for 3 adults 1 child

Not the best cost savings, but we love this hotel. Could have booked direct for $169

Been watching hotel prices for Miami pre-cruise in October.. I preferred either the Brickell Financial area, or the Airport Blue Lagoon... prices were sky high...($175++..)

But I finally got a pretty good deal on Hotwire...

Atton Brickell Miami Hotel

• $103 /night + tax
  
• 4.8 star on TripAdvisor
  
• 4.5 star on Expedia
  
• 4.0 star on Yelp
  

No airport shuttle or port shuttle, so I'll have to take Uber or Lyft.. but the savings will easily off-set that
