44summertime Posted April 18, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Staying 1 night precruise in FLL with a group of 36. online site quoting 75.00-325.00, Brick and mortar TA quoting nothing under 175.00. Is is safe to book a group through an online agency? :eek: Don't want to be surprised or disappointed. Going 2/28-3/1/09 arriving FLL 5pm, want dinner,some beverages, and a comfortable bed. Looking for something with a pool and breakfast, shuttle service would be a plus. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted April 19, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2008 For a group of 36 you should be calling the hotel directly and speaking with the group sales department. 73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megr1125 Posted April 19, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2008 choose a couple hotels, CALL the sales department...they WILL work with you. and if you are really bored and like one over another but it is more money, play one off the other..... as they say..."heads in beds!" for a group of that many people, do NOT book online!

JMA Posted April 19, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2008 We had a group of 22 this past Feb. 23 and stayed at La Quinta Inn & Suites in Hollywood, FL for a rate of $159 per night plus tax. They offer free shuttle from airport to hotel and free shuttle from hotel to cruise port. And a nice breakfast. Also they offer free parking if anyone is leaving a car there.
