c669885 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 My friend and I are taking the Norwegian Pearl out of Seattle on May 31 so we wanted a downtown four-star hotel for the two nights prior to sail-out. We started our bidding at $53 for a downtown/Pike Place four-star property and then increased in increments of $3 until hitting the magic number of $65. Our bids went like this:1. Downtown/Pike Place $53 Rejected2. Add Bothell $56 Rejected3. Add Everett $59 Rejected4. Add Lake Union $62 Rejected5. Add Lynwood $65 AcceptedBidding in the Seattle area is really great for four-star hotels since there are so many zones that do not have four-star locations. This allows for great incremental bidding to find the target price. Link to comment
