mared1 Posted August 25, 2005 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2005 For everyone's information, I have been checking availability for hotels in FLL for Jan 1-4th, pre cruise, and have found that quite a few are sold out already. Also as several posters have mentioned, rates are higher than in the past -so some of the available hotels are over $250 a night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marion10 Posted August 27, 2005 #2 Share Posted August 27, 2005 We booked Holiday Inn Express for $159 for 12/30, 12/31, 1/1. This was fully cancelable rate - could have gone lower if I picked a rate that I couldn't cancel. Thsi includes breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w99flash Posted August 28, 2005 #3 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I found that some of these hotels are showing sold out at the web sites,but when I called the hotel directly that was not the case. (I got a little suspsious when both HUGE and EXPENSIVE Yankee Clipper and Trader were showing SOLD OUT online) I called the small boutique hotel I was interested in(Tropi Rock) and sure enough there WERE rooms available. Maybe, it's too early for online rates to be posted yet,I don't know (should have asked when I called)It might be worth a call directly to the hotel.(Online is great, but sometimes a real person will be able to "work with you" if you know what I mean. HOPE THIS HELPS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KreinKrunker Posted August 30, 2005 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2005 If you stay at the Tropi Rock, would you please post a quick review here upon your return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh joy Posted August 30, 2005 #5 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Has anyone stayed at the Sheraton Ft Lauderdale Airport Hotel pre or post cruise? Specifically is there anywhere to eat nearby? I booked a pre night and post night at an outrageous price, but I havent seen better. I did not call the hotels direct....after reading posts I guess I goofed. Thanks, OhJoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisen JJ Posted August 31, 2005 #6 Share Posted August 31, 2005 We stayed there last Feb 11 pre-cruise. Got it on Priceline for $50. Airport pickup was excellent, room was nice but restaurant was very poor service. Food O.K. Nothing else close enough to walk to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted September 1, 2005 #8 Share Posted September 1, 2005 It is definitely not too early to be booking a hotel for the first week of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sunluva7 Posted September 1, 2005 #9 Share Posted September 1, 2005 We also stayed here and were very happy with the hotel. No, there is nothing nearby, but we arranged to have the hotel driver bring us to a shopping area nearby for lunch (Dave & Buster's) and to pick up last minute things for the cruise. They also arranged a shuttle for us the next morning to the port. They were very accommodating. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
