Hello to all: I am new to this board and hope I can get some advice and gain some insite from all of you. My wife, our three children, my mother and father-in-law and I are all travelling to Miami in March 2008. We are on a cruise schedule to depart on Sat., March 22. We are flying into Miami on Thu., March 20 and will need 2 rooms for 2 nights. In addition, we will be disembarking on Sat., March 29, but staying an additional night and flying out on the 30th...so we need 2 rooms for one night on March 29. We like staying downtown since the food offerings (though not exquisit), are varied enough that I can satisfy the most discerning palats of a 10, 8, & 4 year-old. We have stayed at the Holiday Inn-Bayside in the past and it was fine...we would be happy to stay there again. On their site they are $157/nt on a non-refundable, advanced payment per room. What possibilities to do better on hotel and/or price. I am aware that this is a Spring Break week, but I hope we can get something that works out better. Any advice or encouragement is appreciated. Eric
