We originally had booked a room at marriott stellaris but decide we did not want to spend the money or use our points . so we bid on priceline and ended up with the marriott court yard for 120. Ithink we overpaid , but we are only there one night and maybe with husband platinum status at marriott we will at least get an upgrade. It seems to be pretty close to the ship terminal.

A little tip for next time: If you're never sure what to bid, always check www.betterbidding.com prior to bidding to find out what other people are bidding and whether those bids are being accepted or rejected. This will help to prevent you from overbidding and is a great resource.

First bid of $84 for a 4* accepted, upgraded and awarded the Marriott San Juan Resort and Stellaris Casino. I was shocked that I got ANYTHING, this far out, as our date of stay is Oct 9, 2010, pre-cruise for one night. Today was actually the first day the calendar would allow a bid this far out, and I expected outright rejection from Priceline. I know the best rates are usually had within a few weeks of the date of stay. I had seen someone else had gotten the Conrad for $83 so I thought I'd get that.

Our cruise will be originating/departing from the Pan American Pier (RCCL), so this is in great proximity to there.
