Ft. Lauderdale help 3/29-3/30

I was hoping you could help me. I have read the suggestions and am trying to get a 1 night hotel pre-cruise from 3/29 -3/30 in Ft. Lauderdale by the port and beach.

Here is what I am thinking 4*

zone 2- Ft. Lauderdale Downtown

zone 3 - Airport north

zone 4 - airport

zone 5 - Ft. Lauderdale beach

could you offer bidding guidelines (ie how much to offer? or if I should drop down to 3.5* or 3*)

All ideas and help are appreciated!!!!

Thank you.

[thereuare]

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

Note that the Airport FLL and Airport North zones do not offer 4* bidding, so those are not possible outcomes when bidding 4* in the Fort Lauderdale region. Are you familiar with re-bidding and able to determine your FIVE re-bid zones? If not, see Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board.

What is your maximum bid for this trip? Do you need more than double occupancy for this stay?

[rogerbalz]

I need space for 2 adults and 2 kids 2 beds. I was looking for guidance I can pay anywhere from 0-1000 i was looking for guidance.

[thereuare]

PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel, and you could receive a room with only one bed. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request. If this is not a risk you're willing to take, HOTWIRE may still be an option as they allow you to search for up to quad occupancy and ensure sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search (although this usually means two beds, the second 'bed' could be a sofabed, rollaway, etc)

Another options is see if PRICELINE EXPRESS offers anything in your desired star rating and zone with a 'bed option' designation OR you could bid on priceline's "name your own price" for two rooms (but no guarantee you can get connecting rooms)

Let us know your thoughts and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.
