Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sorry for another question, but since I am new to this, what do I need to do next? Just a little nervous paying for this room 6 months in advance. Do I need to confirm with the hotel as our arrival approaches? Do we request (and when) the room arrangement that we want? (i.e. King, smoking, port view, etc.) Thanks again for all of your help!
Yes, I am happy with the $92.00! From what I have found so far, the hotel sounds very nice! Thanks for the FYI, I really appreciate the information and will try it next time! I certainly will post my experiences upon our return October 9. Kind regards to all, happy bidding, happy sailing!!!
Hi! I am a new user of Priceline and betterbidding. Thanks to all on this site for the wonderful tips and advice. I have booked a cruise departing out of Fort Lauderdale on October 2, 2004. We will be flying down a day early on October 1. The reviews and recomendations for Embassy Suites (3.5*) downtown sounds fantastic and winning bids of $70 versus $200 on their webste, even better! I also read about "bid now or bid later" and decided to just "try it". On Priceline, I bid $70 for a 3* Downtown, there was no warning message of too low, and then I got a message that for $22 more (one time rebid) they could probably find me a room, so I rebid $92 (still thinking this is a great deal). Congratulations! Your bid has been accepted and upgarded to a 4* hotel to the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale at 1617 Se 17th Street! So, $92.00 plus $17.77 Taxes and Service Fees for a total of $109.77. Please tell me I still did ok!? I wasn't expecting an acceptance so quickly and probably could have done better??????? Any reviews?
