MichiganBrewski Posted December 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I had a hotel "booked" for a few months now and called confirm everything today and they "lost" my reservation. Now the hotel is booked solid or want to charge me $200 more for a suite. Does anyone have any suggestions on hotels that have airport and cruise port shuttles? I fly in tomorrow and embark on Sunday!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganBrewski Posted December 12, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Don't you have a confirmation number? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Forums mobile app Yes I did, and when I told them it they said it was no longer in their system. My card showed the pending charge and everything but they refused that I had made a reservation. The customer service might have been the worst that I have ever had. Both the hotel itself and corporate offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmama Posted December 12, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Cambria suites in Dania has both shuttles and restaurant on site. Sent from my SCH-I915 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganBrewski Posted December 12, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) And now my pending charge is no longer showing. Basically just a mess, I don't know if someone realized their mistake and removed my card or what has happened but they don't have a room for us anymore. Over booking at its finest.

travel_nuts Posted December 12, 2014 #7 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I don't know for sure, but if I had a confirmation number, I think they would be finding me something. However, from your post, you may be better off considering the customer service. The two hotels mentioned already are good choices. Sorry. But good luck and enjoy your trip.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Forums mobile app I had thought so too, but instead of guaranteeing me a room they instead try to up sell me a room for more money since my original reservation is "sold out". I have never experienced something like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroBaldness Posted December 13, 2014 #16 Share Posted December 13, 2014 We are staying in the Crowne Plaza tomorrow night and Sunday night before boarding on Monday. As I recall, the prepaid rate was under $200 and the 2nd night is a rewards night. As question though to the OP, was the hotel you lost part of a chain brand? When we sailed on Freedom a few years back, something similar happened with the Holiday Inn Express in Cocoa Beach. I went up the chain and thye found us a very nice room, on the beach, at The Crowne Plaza south of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readytolose Posted December 13, 2014 #17 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) We are looking forward to our stay at the Embassy Suites on 17th st. I'm curious though, what hotel was it that lost your reservation? Edited December 13, 2014 by readytolose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganBrewski Posted December 13, 2014 Author #20 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Which hotel is it, so those of us concerned with the poor service can avoid it ourselves? It was the holiday inn express on 17th street right next to port Everglades which is very disappointing as I have stayed here before and have had great service up until now. I, although, am happy to say that I have rebooked at a new hotel thanks you all of your great recommendations; and at a better rate than I had before ( or according to them "didn't" have). Pre cruise disaster avoided! I was getting very nervous today at work being that I fly out tomorrow and apparently had no hotel. It pays to follow up with your reservations!

jules815 Posted December 13, 2014 #22 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Usual Westin in Holywood is sold, but found Pillars - love it http://www.pillarshotel.com/ipad/specials.php I have never stayed there, but Pillars gets great reviews on Trip Advisor. I've been checking out Ft. Lauderdale hotels for my cruise in March. We have a reservation at the Courtyard on Ft. Lauderdale Beach. Not exactly a cruise port hotel, but I'll be traveling with 2 college kids and we get in late morning the day before. Figured that hotel would be a good fit for us, and she can see where her mother spent her spring breaks in the early 80's. :eek::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
