[zurmolly]

Ok, one more time..How exactly do you bid for the Hyatt Pier 66 in FLL..Never have used priceline, yet..Thanks ahead..

[want2seaitall]

OK...I was actually fortunate enough to be one of the many lately to get the Hyatt Pier 66 in Fort Lauderdale...I got mine for $80/night, which seems to be the going rate, for 4/17-4/19...put in Fort Lauderdale Beach, 4 star hotel...and your price...and you can only hope that it will be the Hyatt pier 66...you may get something else...that is the thing with Priceline...they don't give you the name of the hotel that excepted your price til after...it is the luck of the draw...but regardless I've always been happy...a 4 star hotel is a 4 star hotel. Good luck...let us know how you make out!!!

 

until my Majesty of the Seas cruise!

I think that the Hyatt is the only 4 star in the beach area..Am I correct?

[doone]

Zurmolly, from what I understand, yes, that is correct. The Hyatt is the only 4 star hotel in the beach zone participating in priceline.

Thank you!

Is it nice, Lois? Nice pool? a BAR??????? Plannig on a few days there..Going to try the Carribean Princess in Feb instead of the Millie. Don't tell on the other board...

Hi Z...your secret is safe with me ...lets just hope a lurker doesn't see it LOL....

 

Anyway..the hotel is very nice!...I never used the pool...but next door is the dock for the water taxi. I took it over to Las Olas where I found one of those funky little restaurants and had a marvelous lunch outside. The place is called Cafe Blu...file that away. I know there are more famous places but this was excellent .

I met 4 friends for dinner pre-cruise. We ate at "Bravo"...which is just over the bridge in a strip mall called "QUAY". I have eaten there before both of my FLL sailings......would go back in a heartbeat! Its Italian and fantastic!

See you on the BB

 

Next up...HORIZON Sept 18th to Bermuda!

The Hyatt has a GREAT revolving bar on top that does one revolution every 66 minutes. The pool is very lush with many tropical plants and faces the intercoastal waterway. I am staying there 4/23 pre-cruise. Got it for $80 on Priceline plus taxes and fees.
