heather875 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 We are going on a cruise out of Tampa on Thursday April 4, but plan on coming on to Tampa on the 3rd. Will only need 1 night hotel stay on a Wednesday night. I am familiar with how to bid, but was wondering how long should I wait to bid, or should I go ahead? I was thinking maybe I should wait a couple more weeks, since the trip is still more than 7 weeks out. Thanks for your help!

heather875 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Posted February 12, 2013 Ok Just did (no longer going there). Would prefer Westshore since this seems to be the area near the cruise port, or downtown. Would like to keep under $75 and keep star level at 3.5 or higher. Thanks for any help and will use the threads to bid when I get to that point.

I was thinking maybe I should wait a couple more weeks, since the trip is still more than 7 weeks out.Why not begin bidding now up to a point that you know would be a good deal for these dates... if you're accepted then there would be little downside risk to prices heading much lower, and perhaps there is a good deal available today that won't be available in the weeks ahead or closer to your stay?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

bmw745ion19s Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 downtown is actually much closer to the cruise port then westshore. the channelside district specifically is where the cruise port is at. many of the westshore hotels in your budget will provide a shuttle there I believe.
