louanddave Posted October 6, 2017 #701 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Is there a way to see if parking is included on any of the websites? Thanks Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted October 12, 2017 #702 Share Posted October 12, 2017 No. HW and PL guarantee a room. If you need parking while gone cruising, don't use these blind sites. The hotels can charge you whatever they want for you car when you check in. Use a site that offers park and stay packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted October 22, 2017 #706 Share Posted October 22, 2017 3.5* Sawgrass Grand Hotel 2 nights at $75 a night plus taxes and Priceline fees and resort fee for a total of $210 Booking the hotel direct would have been $160 a night plus tax. Recent reviews on Trip Advisor are not good due to construction going on. I'm hoping that it's finished by the time we get there in December. I wanted a hotel close to the BB&T Center since we're going to see a hockey game the night before our cruise. We'll be renting a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted October 26, 2017 #707 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Priceline Express Deal ( Opaque, but no bidding) Two rooms, Nov. 25, one night $120 + $24.99 taxes and fees per room 4.5 * hotel in downtown/port of Miami zone Intercontinental, as expected Not too happy with the $15 resort fee (which I knew about) but the going price on other sites is $153 plus taxes and the resort fee, so still saved a decent amount. We probably won't be using any of the 'resort' facilities. We were able to choose one bed or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiminey65 Posted November 2, 2017 #708 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I somehow managed to lose my first reply, so sure hope this isn't a duplicate..... I wanted to bump this thread up as it was so helpful to me when I was researching for the perfect hotel (for us) for our 3/11/2018 stay pre-cruise. It was so overwhelming to me to decide where to stay, and to place a set price of what I was willing to pay for a hotel. I also had to make peace with the fact that if I am willing to use Uber and forego the free shuttle service some hotels offer, it could open up my options a whole lot more. This decision further complicated my thoughts as we are flying into FLL but actually sailing out of Miami! Perhaps easy for some of you, but this stuff gets me into a tail spin! I ended up using Hotwire, after cross referencing many sites mentioned here. I decided on the downtown Las Olas area as I felt there is a lot of things to do for one day we will be in town and water taxis sound like a lot of fun. Also to be honest, The Fort Lauderdale BEACH area scared me away as I read too many questionable reviews from that area. I decided to participate in the opaque bidding and that was stressful to me so I did add the $14.62 insurance "just in case". This is for two rooms. I ended up landing The River Side Hotel, and am very pleased. It was set at $150 x 2. Taxes are $65.50 total and of course the $14.62. Total is $380.12. Anyone needs to remember that for my date of travel I was seeing it at anywhere from $229 per room - $249. So I have to be pleased. I will also admit my blunder, that I FORGOT to paste the secret code for $10 off!!!!!! I know its trivial, but these are the things that keep me up at night! LOL. I am being this honest so others can learn from me as I have from others. Remember once you copy a code to affix it into the little rectangular box before you hit "send". I'm also not meaning to be a big rebel, and go off topic but this thread was instrumental in helping me narrow down my very big zone. I am open to all suggestions and recommendations on what to do on my one day stay in the downtown Las Olas area!!!!! HAPPY CRUISING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Fi Posted November 16, 2017 #715 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I would check regularly and knew which hotel it was. Unfortunately that hot rate is now gone.

MarcJ55 Posted January 1, 2018 #721 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Priceline NYOP Orlando Airport Area March 15-16, 1 night Ramada Suites Orlando Airport $140/night + taxes came to $168. On the Ramada website, they were asking $201/night all in. I usually go with Hotwire but chose Priceline instead because nothing to appealing on Hotwire for my dates. Used this list of known hotels to narrow down which hotel I would get: http://www.hoteldealsrevealed.com/hotelinventory/priceline/fl/orlando. Overall, I'm happy with this win, which saved me about $33 or 15%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNRcruisers Posted January 4, 2018 #722 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Our deal isn't as good as many of you here but it was late booking for the end of January so I feel pretty lucky. We get in late evening the night before our cruise and want to stay near the airport as we felt that would be easiest. But the prices were $300 and up a night. I bid $170 for 3 star and didn't get any takers, so I bumped down to 2 1/2 stars and got it. Sleep Inn Dania, it is normally about $170 but for this time of year was running $340 and fully booked on some sites. It also has a shuttle and is walking distance to stores so I'm happy with it.
