der93711 Posted April 9, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2008 We are looking for a precruise hotel in Vancouver BC. Would like to use priceline for a 4 star hotel. Has anyone used Priceline for Vancouver and if so how much did you bid for a 4 star. Thanks Der:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBsails Posted April 9, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Are you familiar with biddingfortravel.com? It's a tutorial for Priceline.

Putterdude Posted April 9, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 9, 2008 If you go over to the West Coast & Canada boards you will find a lot of discussion on this topic. During the cruise season a 4* hotel in Vanouver normally will start at about $250 and go up from there. We have been seeing some pricing on Priceline at about $150 for 3 & low 4*'s. If you find something you like we will try to help you with your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanna cruiser Posted April 10, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Three years ago I booked two rooms thru Priceline in Vancouver. I was able to get a four star downtown hotel (but forget the name) for $60 for each room. I had to keep putting in the bid for a couple of weeks, but it finally was accepted. The hotel was beautiful and only about two blocks from the cruise terminal. It was very convenient to everything. We walked to everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do recall the name please let us know, this is the kind of info we love to hear of and pass on to other cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Rare CC Help Michell Posted April 10, 2008 Administrators #7 Share Posted April 10, 2008 We are looking for a precruise hotel in Vancouver BC. Would like to use priceline for a 4 star hotel. Has anyone used Priceline for Vancouver and if so how much did you bid for a 4 star.Thanks Der:confused: Recent winning Priceline bids -- http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=412919 (here at CC on the West Coast Departures board) We won the Pacific Palisades with a $125 bid for June. It's a 4* PL property (probably mostly due to the Robson Street location; no offense to fans of the hotel, but it seems more like a 3* to me, until you consider location). However, location does have a money value, and we're very happy with where this hotel is located. We think considering the hotel's location, amenities, and the rack/discount web rates for our date of stay we got a good-to-great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
