dgirard Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I used the link from betterbidding and made several attempts for a 4* at either the downtown area or Fort Lauderdale beach area.I know there's a 4 star at both the beach and downtown, so started with both of those...then added the other zones which did not have 4 *'s to bid again...Started at 105 and worked up to $130...still fails...I'll try a few more tomorrow...Question:Does a resort qualify as *better* than 4*?...or is it a stand alone category...ie, if a zone does not have a 4* but does have a resort, will it bump up to resort in that zone?...if not, then I can give this at least one more go...(at least one of the zones does not have a 4* but does have a resort..._David Link to comment

dgirard Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 complete stay is just one night... 1/13/06 We're booked into the Yankee Clipper on 1/14, but need to stay somewhere on the 13th...so I'd like to be someplace close by, with some relatively easy way to get to the beach/ocean. We're crusing from the 15-19th...I won a room at the Bahia Mar on the 19th for our return, but I was hoping to try for someplace different for our arrival night.I'll try again later today and post results...-David Link to comment
