like2cruise Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Ok, I could get addicted to this priceline bidding stuff :) I couldn't wait until we got plane tickets arranged for our March cruise so I could bid for a hotel. I had so much fun bidding and getting a bargain in Miami at the Doubletree ($42.00-thanks thereuare) for our November cruise. Anyway, we got the Marriott Ft Lauderdale Hotel & Marina for $58.00 (first bid) plus $9.08 taxes per room for a total of $268.32 for four rooms...not that much more than one room listed at the Marriott website. I would have loved to get the Embassy Suites (free drinks and breakfast), but at this rate I can buy my own :) We plan to spend some time on the water taxis...thanks for posting...it is helpful to us all!

Katmash Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 like2cruise,Does the $9.08 include taxes and the Priceline fee? I've stayed there before. Nice hotel with wonderful views of the cruise ships coming in and going out, easy access to water taxi and very relaxing walking around the marina looking at all the gigantic yachts. The pool looked nice, too, although we didn't use it.Happy Cruising! Link to comment
perky Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 I am going on a cruise on March 30th and got that hotel on priceline as well. Being my first time using priceline I bid $60 and got accepted right away. Next time I will know better and start lower. Happy cruising. Link to comment
