muggo11 Posted July 31, 2013 #78 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Rose, Try hotwire and put in a search to track for prices. Then they will tell YOU when the price drops. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheal Posted July 31, 2013 #80 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Tried 3 times to book 3.5-4 star Ft. Lauderdale Beach area up to $99 but no luck on Priceline. January 6th 2014. Anyone else trying for this time frame? I see others have gotten good deals for other dates. Sad for me. :( We had the same problem last year due to the BCS. Never heard of it until I needed a hotel room that weekend. We have stayed in FLL and Hollywood many times and I have paid 40% less to stay in a 4*s. We ended up in the Hyatt Place 17th street. Very disappointed, I expected to stay at one of my usual places like the Westin Diplomat. Good Luck. Just don't make the mistake I made thinking prices would go down.

Sheal Posted August 1, 2013 #83 Share Posted August 1, 2013 BCS?? What event is this?- Rose Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app My problem last year was the BCS but I see that it is in Pasadena this year. The orange bowl is on the 3rd so most people should be gone by then. What I learned was to pay more attention to those sports things.:) Sheal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberdawn85 Posted August 1, 2013 #84 Share Posted August 1, 2013 My first time using Priceline. Downtown Miami, 4 star hotel, $80, received the Hyatt Regency. Haven't heard to much about this hotel but seems like a good price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudbmw Posted August 5, 2013 #85 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Last Minute Travel (similar to Hotwire) Crowne Plaza Fort Lauderdale Airport/Cruise Port $85.38 including taxes and fees ($77 + tax) 8/24/13 for 1 night Last Minute Travel is like Hotwire, you don't know the name of the hotel until you book. It's the hotel listed 4.42 Miles To Airport and with a 4* Trip Adviser rating. I have stayed there pre-cruise before, very close to airport and Port Everglades Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza is a 5 minute walk away and very good.

Sheal After failing miserably even at $120 It turns out one of the women we are traveling with was able to use some corporate points from her company and we got the Westin for $99. I guess that was the only way were were going to get to stay here!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted August 6, 2013 #90 Share Posted August 6, 2013 If I wanted a FLL area hotel not too far from the port, with a nice pool and MUST BE VERY CLEAN for a 2 night pre cruise stay in December with three kids, what does everyone recommend and how do I bid on this on Priceline. New to this bidding thing, but would like to give it a try. Thanks in advance. DO NOT use Priceline. A room on PL only guarantees sleeping space for two people. You could end up in a king size bed for all of you. Use hotwire or lastminute travel where you can reserve two beds. Also go to valuetrips and see if you can get hyatt place which is popular and very near the port, shopping and restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catcruisers Posted August 6, 2013 #91 Share Posted August 6, 2013 If you join the LMT Travel Cub (Free with code "4JULYFREE") you will see the hotel names and get better prices. If you have an iPad and use their browser, it will show the hotel names. You can call to get better prices than the website is showing, though I don't know how the phone in prices compare to the member prices.

dp203 Posted August 9, 2013 #92 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Just booked the Crowne Plaza Ft. Lauderdale through Priceline's Express Bid (similar to Hotwire).

tgmtgm Posted August 12, 2013 #99 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Just booked on Hotwire for one night April 13th 2014- $104 all in using $20 in Hotwire Hotbucks received via a promotional email. So without the promo, price would be $124. Not a bad price considering that week will be prime time spring break (Easter is April 20th next year).
