dollyo Posted January 21, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2006 We just booked it last night and wow are we excited about the price. We were just browsing the sites and saw the price and had to book. My 19 yr old daughter has never cruised so even though Im fairly loyal to Celebrity who can pass a deal like that. We would welcome any suggestions for a hotel for our first night back because we couldn't quite get the flights to line up. But who cares. with that price we'll happily stay an extra night.

letsgonow Posted January 21, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Dollyo (Sharon) - If you want to stay near the port in Ft. Lauderdale, you should check rates at the Amerisuites, Embassy Suites, Renaissance, or the Marriott. All are very nice hotels. The Marriott is right next to the water taxi, which is fun. There is a Publix grocery store and many restaurants close to all these spots. Have you ever tried http://www.hotwire.com? It won't give you the name of the hotel, but it does give you a general idea of the location and star level. The rates will probably be high, as it is our high season in south Florida.

MCManders99 Posted January 22, 2006 #6 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I have only been on 1 cruise with Princess to Alaska. Saw these deals with Costa, I live in FL and am always looking for deals. We are newlyweds in our late 20's. What is Costa like? We are not the partying type and are open to just about anything. If anyone can help me to understand what a Costa Cruise is like, that would be great. Is it all Italian food in the dining room? Or can you get anything like the other lines. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda-B Posted January 22, 2006 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2006 You can get anything you like in the dinningroom. There is a pasta course with each meal and various foods from different regions in Italy but each night has other entrees and the "always" chicken, steak, salmon ,ceaser salad etc. We enjoyed our Costa experience very much. We booked our own tours. Relaxed by the pool. Enjoyed the wine and the food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
