cabana Posted February 16, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I need to find a room for a date in May,I'm looking for any ideas. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted February 16, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Try hotwire, priceline or valuetrips.com All have great prices for rooms in FLL. Exactly what area of FLL are you looking for and how much were you wanting to spend on it? Will you need a free shuttle to the airport or from the pier?

pxgrant Posted February 16, 2005 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2005 The Yankee Clipper is a great hotel - and it's pretty close to Port Everglades.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisp1 Posted February 16, 2005 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Check out the Pre-post cruise Hotel board for ideas. Also check out betterbidding.com . There are reviews strategies, winning bids and pictures of some hotels. There is a thread there on how Canadians can get hotels thru priceline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserforlife Posted February 16, 2005 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Got the Sheraton FL. on Priceline for $59/night + taxes.Airport shuttle picks you up,no shuttle to the pier which is just fine with me.VERY comfy pillow-top bed,perhaps the best we've ever slept on in a hotel.Nice pool & hot tub,good food in the bar.Close to the pier ($15 cab).

arlenemilt Posted February 17, 2005 #8 Share Posted February 17, 2005 If you just need a room for one night, check out Amerisuites on 17th St. They will pick you up at the airport, give you breakfast in the AM and shuttle you to the pier. Actually, $5-6 will get you to the pier faster. There are also many restaurants within walking distance and a big grocery store to pick up munchies. And, as the others said, Priceline is also an option. Arlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted February 17, 2005 #11 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Our favorite pre- or post-cruise hotel is the Marriott Marina. We stayed at the Sheraton Airport last December before our cruise because I could not get anything closer to the port. It is very nice, and the bed was very comfortable. I liked the pool area, and we were able to enjoy it before leaving for the port. I have primarily booked through Priceline and have been successful bidding for 3-star hotels from $50 to $60. Go to Bidding for Travel to see what bids are getting accepted for the dates you'll be there. Lots of bidding strategy can be learned from that website, including the zones where you can get free rebids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisp1 Posted February 17, 2005 #12 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I read a thread on Betterbidding how Canadiens have to 'trick' the system in order to bid on priceline. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
