TurboFury Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hi, I am planning my trip in February 08, we are flying from Toronto, ON, CA, and our first stop is Port Canaveral, we are taking a Disney Cruise on February 7. We want to arrive a day early in case of bad weather\flight delays. We are looking for something cheap in Cocoa Beach for Feb 6, 1 night. On PriceLine I see Hilton, Doubletree and Radisson for about $140. I also see on Hotwire a 3-star hotel for $59. Can you help me figure out how to get one of those three mentioned for that great price of $59? Thanks Link to comment

thereuare Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I'm not entirely following your comment:Can you help me figure out how to get one of those three mentioned for that great price of $59?Best guess is that the HOTWIRE hotel aboe is the Holiday Inn Oceanfront, note one of the others that you've mentioned.Is your gameplan now to try to beat this rate thru Priceline? On Priceline you can't target any specific hotel, and you need to be willing/able to accept any hotel in the zone at the minimum star rating you selected. If your priceline bids are rejected, would you take the above HOTWIRE hotel? (if not, then you shouldn't use the above as your maximum bid amount)If you do book the above please use this HOTWIRE link to begin any purchases you make.Let us know and we'll advise accordingly.

If nothing wok I can go back and book the Holiday Inn. Can you suggest a gameplan? Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 At the 3* level in Cocoa Beach you have three re-bid zones available. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 3* Beach...Bid $45, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $60.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
