Thank you very much! Will need to review rebid explained and give it a try in the weekend.

Thanks for the kind reminder. Yes, we are willing to take the risk to go with PL. Kids are 3 and 1 so if hotel can only offer one bed, we are ok with that. The 3* hotels are ideal with the free shuttle but if we got bumped up to a 3.5*, ESP crowne plaza, we can live with that too... Just want to make sure we don't overbid and get 3.5* or higher instantly which isn't our 1st priority. Thx again for your help. Your expertise is much appreciated.

Hi, a complete newbie to PL here. would love to book a 3* in Manhattan Beach area for 1 night post cruise, Sep 30 - Oct 1, 2012. It appears that most bidders got upgraded to the 3.5* CrownePlaza in the area. We target on 3* because we are not planning to rent a car but to use the free shuttle provided by the 3* hotels to the nearby (with 2 kids, spending some time on the beach is good enough). B) Any advices on bidding a 3* on Manhattan are much appreciated. :) Many thanks! PS any ideas for the 3* price range? As I noticed 3.5* crowne plaza range from $50-70.
