Randy & Carmen Posted January 26, 2013 Author #501 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Host Randy - do you plan on looking at hotel room rates? I do.......You usually have to wait til 330 days out to book groups but I will check soon.....I've stayed at Hilton there too on the river so I may check with them.....if anyone hears of a deal or finds anything, let me know and I'll check it out.......but ultimately what I do is send an email from my hostrandy@cruisecritic.com acct (you know all professional...lol) and I have a spill that seems to work most of the time for a good deal for a group. :):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
