Thanks for all the info...I did check my messages. That is a good point about staying in Miami. My mom spends the winter in Florida and will be picking us up from the FLL airport, so transportation is not an issue. My goal is the least expensive, but willing to pay more for a 4*. Can you bid Miami Downtown and South Beach (central zone) at the same time as FLL? If not, should I start with Miami first as there are more rebid options? I am hoping to keep our bid at our below $100 per room (allowing approx. $15 for taxes and fees). I did check out the Pre Cruise Hotels hotels and am not going to lie, I found it a bit confusing :) but will try again.
