What a great site ! Thank you (and your wife ). Now I really have to stop this and get back to work.

Just checked again at 9:15 pm and the 2.5* is showing again for $69. with the S symbol ! Go figure ???

Just checked Hotwire for 2/12 1 night dntn ft lauderdale and the only one showing is $239. (which is the one I`m trying to figure out). The others are Ft. Lauderdale BEACH none of these are showing the S (suite) sign. They are: 2.5* $142...4* $171...3.5 $209...3* $281. no bargins here !!

I am ready to bid now, our plans are firm, I have already booked at ES at a cost of $219. but I can cancel. I would like the Marriott since ES seems unattainable. If I use my MC to reserve I have cancellation insurance for the cruise and hotel etc should anything go wrong between now and then.Our cruise is out of Pt. Everglades on Dec.27 so we need a booking for Dec.26. The only one I DO NOT want is Pier 66 but I think I`m safe if I only bid on downtown 3 or 3.5*. If I could get comparable accomodations for $100. instead of $200. I would be thrilled (that`s a few Pina Coladas!)

How do I bump up this post? I`m sure going to need help when the time comes. I`m assuming I should wait till Sept/Oct before trying, right? Realistically how good are my chances of getting Embassy Suites?

I realize I am way too early to bid on Priceline for Dec26/05 but because I have already booked our cruise for Dec27/05 and because we are 4 in the family and really want Embassy Suites or Marriott Marina I went ahead and booked a cancellable(sp?) room at Embassy Suites in Ft.Lauderdale. My question is if I use priceline to book later in the year, and I already hold a reservation for that date at Embassy Suites will I automatically be rejected ?

We are booked on a cruise for Dec27 _2005. I can only book my airfare after Jan.12/05. Is there any advantage in booking our pre-cruise hotel really early also. Not to worry we have excellent travel insurance.
