CruiserRob Posted January 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Anyone book a pre or post cruise hotel through NCL for February? Just wondering what the prices are? Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaRMM Posted January 9, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2016 We booked in Miami for pre-cruise in November through NCL.. for convenience mostly. It cost $125 x 2. There was a shuttle from the airport and a bus shuttle to the pier. The tip was included in the shuttle to the pier. We took a chance on the post cruise and were at the airport 3 hrs before our flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandmaRMM Posted January 9, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2016 There are 4 listed on the NCL website. We stayed at The Sofitel (the name changed in November.. I think this is the new name) https://www.ncl.com/cruise-destinations/weekend-cruises#hotels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldwing girl Posted January 9, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 9, 2016 we are staying at the Marriott Biscayne Bay its supposed to be one of closest hotels to pier but its like $350 a night but we are Marriott reward members and are using points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warm-Water Diver Posted January 9, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 9, 2016 We've stayed at the Intercontinental 3 times and LOVE this hotel. It can be pricey but depending on the time of year you can snag a Great Deal as mentioned previously on Last Minute Travel. We just paid $141 + taxes on our recent cruise (12/11) and it was well worth it. Beautiful very classy hotel with huge pool, spa, atrium complete with bar and restaurant (Toro) and Starbucks right in the lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyeSeaEwe Posted January 10, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 10, 2016 LaQuinta Airport has a free shuttle to the port. They offer a nice discount for veterans as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Marriott Platinum and need to burn 1mil points before the Marriott/Starwood merger is complete and the points are worthless. I've stayed at the Biscayne Bay before for work and it does the job. Nice, clean and on a Friday should be easy to get bay view room and see Escape when you wake up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warm-Water Diver Posted January 10, 2016 #13 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Can you walk to pier from the Intercontinental? No. You can't walk to the pier but it is extremely close to Hotel. And you can see the ship in the morning if you get a bayside room. Short cab ride for 3 of us was like $9 total. I wouldn't sweat a cab ride for so cheap just MHO:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbe Posted January 10, 2016 #14 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Robert, we haven't booked through NCL but have booked through last minute travel twice for our NCL cruises and have gotten great deals. join their club for free or call them for better prices. By joining you'll have choice of hotels and they tell you the names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisekrazykaze Posted January 10, 2016 #15 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Didn't book through NCL... But have a room for 1/24....Most hotels were around $300/night. Could find cheaper if you stay in the airport area. We wanted to stay near downtown and the port because we have time to spare the day before. I booked using hotwire secret deals and got Hotel Urbano, 3 star downtown. Paid $150ish+tax. Much more in my price range than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aubreyc1988 Posted January 10, 2016 #16 Share Posted January 10, 2016 We try to stay at Westin hotels if we can, the Aloft in Doral has 180-200 per night, depends on if you need a shuttle or not, we always rent a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare GeezerCouple Posted January 11, 2016 #20 Share Posted January 11, 2016 We've stayed at the Intercontinental 3 times and LOVE this hotel.

Beautiful very classy hotel with huge pool, spa, atrium complete with bar and restaurant (Toro) and Starbucks right in the lobby. We definitely second the Intercontinental at the Miami Port. But *specify* a PORT VIEW, or one of the big advantages is lost. We've stayed here twice now, and with the port view, we were able to watch the "day before" ships depart, and also watch "our ship" (and others) arrive on our sailing day. Yes, I was up and at the window early :) Because both of these cruises were at the holidays, we didn't risk waiting for a last-minute deal. They tend to be sold out on the major holidays, although there might be cancellations at the last minute. But we needed to *know* that we had a place to sleep, and we also wanted that place to be the Intercontinental. Also a factor: They have some special rooms for those with allergies, so we have to make sure we get one of those rooms guaranteed. It's a great way to start the vacation!

VideoTech Posted January 12, 2016 #21 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Can you walk to pier from the Intercontinental? You can...but it's a VERY long walk, and if you're dragging suitcases you will not enjoy it. Google maps says it is 1.5 miles and would take you 30 minutes.

gmhohio Posted January 12, 2016 #22 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Anyone book a pre or post cruise hotel through NCL for February?Just wondering what the prices are? Robert I have stayed at the Sofitel by the Airport three times. The first time was booked through NCL. The last two times I have booked on my own, which was at a substantial savings. The hotel has a free shuttle from the Airport and will also give you a ride and pick you up from one of the area restaurants, although the walk is only two blocks or so to these restaurants and coffee house. There are also a CVS and a Walgreens on the corner for those last minute pre-cruise purchases. The hotel concierge can also arrange for transportation to the port the day of the cruise. I think the cost was either $10 or $11 per person. Food at the hotel can be a bit expensive, but you do have a good number of other food choices nearby the hotel. Hope this info helps!
