Alot of people on Cruise critic have be able to get Courtyard 2.5 star beach for $90.00 in January. Is it too soon for Feb dates?

Rates are date specific, and your dates take place during spring break for many public schools across the country, and therefore probably have higher rates than a random date in January.

As your bidding doesn't seem to follow any set structure, can you clariy:

-which zones are you willing to accept

-what is the minimum star rating you're willing to accept

-what is your maximum budget (and are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel, or is least expensive at your minimum star rating your goal)

-what is the best rate you're able to find thru conventional methods (use our BetterChecker to help make your research easier)

I have a back up Amerisuites saved at $180. a night.

I was trying for a 2.5 Beach Marriott courtyard for about $95.00.

so I started low and then added

I would go for a 2.5 or 2 at lowest

Beach, airport, downtown, ???

2 days precruise going to a wedding on 22nd in Jupiter fl. so will have rental car.

North Fll would be ok too.

Willing to bid up to $150.00 but some are getting rooms for $85.00 for these dates.

Thanks for your help. Debbie
