DaveOKC Posted August 7, 2015 Author #26 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Help clarify please. I went to the MVP link and the lists of the Hiltons don't mention any with the name Hilton Marina....so what Hilton is the one being referred? The prices were all over $200 for January so wondering where the $88 priced Hilton would be. Thanks. First, the prices in January will be alot higher than I am paying in early Dec. Second, the hotel name is Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina. Address - 1881 SE 17th Street. Phone is 954-463-4000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylortime05 Posted August 12, 2015 #27 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Hi, I am looking for 1 night on Sat, Dec 5 pre cruise. I logged in using link above with my Hiltons numbers and the least expensive room price at Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina is 119. Am I doing something wrong? I would love to get it for 88 a night. Thanks for your help.:) Edited August 12, 2015 by taylortime05 added hotel name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help.:) I think your price is higher than my $79 since you are booking a Saturday night. Mine is Sunday - fewer ships in port generally mean lower prices at the hotels.

Mominor Posted August 24, 2015 #29 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm looking through that Hiltons Honors link for Friday december 11th and Sunday the 20h at Hilton Marina and getting $149. Is that the price for those nights/weekends or am I doing something wrong? I appreciate any help. Also I'm considering Bahia Mar for the 11th. Our flight gets in at noon and we will have all day to explore something, without a car. My kids love the beach so thinking that may be the best option pre-cruise and then doing Hilton Marina our 1 day post cruise so we can do the waterway. Also looking to take cabs to/from airport and pier so hoping I'm not choosing hotels too far away and cab rides will cost a fortune. Any thoughts? There will be 6-7 in our group so will likely need 2 cabs or a van cab. This has been one of my favorite threads. Thanks for all of the help!!

Rates will vary by day, especially when there are alot of ships in port. Further, the 20th is getting very close to the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beware of any hotel under $150 during that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyboutdisney Posted August 25, 2015 #33 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) I would go with the Hilton for sure! You can walk next door to Einstein Brothers Bagels and for $10 get a bagel and coffee. How close is Einstein Bros Bagels to the Hilton Marina? I looked on googlemaps and it seems to be quite a distance. Is there another one I am not seeing?

ger_77 Posted August 27, 2015 #39 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Why the fixation with Einstein Bros.? It's a bagel. Roz LOL I think they're just looking for somewhere close to the Hilton FLL Marina where they can pick up an inexpensive breakfast. Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizzie_m Posted August 29, 2015 #41 Share Posted August 29, 2015 http://stay.hilton.com/mvp/ Thank you so much for this link.

So simple, just plugged in the Hilton Honors number. Glad it worked for you - it does not always on busy days (no need to discount I guess). My brother just booked there yesterday for 2 stays in April and got a great rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoop-a-loop Posted August 30, 2015 #43 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Any experiences with the Marina Standard Rooms vs the Pool View with Balcony at the Hilton? Just based off the stock photo on the Hilton site, it looks like the Marina Standard must be in the tower without balcony? Any tips for avoiding the parking lot view rooms in the west villa, what category are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoCrownie Posted April 18, 2016 #44 Share Posted April 18, 2016 http://stay.hilton.com/mvp/ I know this is an old thread but I want to thank you for the info. I had booked the Hilton through Expedia for the lowest price I could find. Going through this link knocked $32 per night off the rate. Thank you!!! FWIW, the ES was our first choice but at almost $50 more per night it wasn't worth it to us. Water Taxi stop on-sight is also a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnandlinda Posted April 22, 2016 #47 Share Posted April 22, 2016 We stayed in a srd room using points for a free night in January. We were happy with the room as it was in the tower and renovated. Our view was looking out to 17th St and we had a Balconey. We dined onsite at the bar outside and it was good. Shuttle to port in morning was 6 bucks pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maitaiguy Posted April 24, 2016 #48 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) I keep seeing these two hotels come up very frequently on these boards because they are both so close to the port. So......I booked Embassy Suites for our pre cruise night before boarding Oasis and we are staying at the Hilton Marina for our one night post cruise before an early flight back to Cali. (Going to Total Wine for our two bottles of vino) If I remember....after a week of cruising.....I will try to post a quick comparison after we get home. We are staying in a regular suite at Embassy but have a tower room requested for the Hilton Marina. Looking forward to hopping on the water taxi and trying one of the waterfront restaurants too. Can't wait! A month to go before our first cruise on Oasis. Haven't been out to sea since Navigator two years ago.
