I agree with both posts above. Bid $51 for two nights in June '03. One pre-cruise and one post-cruise. Total with tax and priceline fee, about $124(not counting tips.). For that we received... Three WONDERFUL breakfasts. Two complimentary cocktail receptions. A coupon for up to $50 on any FLL water attraction (water taxi, everglades fan boats etc.) Two very nice rooms. I called in advance and got a somewhat unenthusiastic telephone rep. I asked for an upper floor with port view, so we could see our ship when we woke up, away from elevators and ice machines, king, not smoking. All requests granted except the king which I don't really care about. Got a top floor room facing the port. The extremely helpful front desk staff told me that when we got back from the cruise, not only would they store my bags until check-in, but that they would get us a room if they could. Well, they could! We checked in at 9:15 am and had a lovely breakfast and a morning nap. Free shuttles. We called from the airport for the free shuttle and they showed up in 15 minutes as promised. We then took cabs to and from the port and back to the airport. We could have taken the shuttles, but we were impatient. I felt like the shuttle tip was about as much as cabfare and a tip anyway. We also got great restaurant rec's from the desk. What we did not get. Any sort of attitude about being pricline. Thanks to this site for giving me the info to bid well and making my vacation longer and better. PS across the street is a 24 hour drug store and a supermarket. Plenty of restaurants nearby. The marriot is better located for the stunning water taxi. The coupon for 50 off water rides if from the FLL chamber of commerce or department of tourism. The promotion is "ride our waters free" Book two nights in a FLL hotel and get the coupon. If you don't get a port view room, not to worry, the 12th floor landing of the stairwells is outside and has a good view of the port. All the best
