I have personally never used Priceline but why not try it? A lot of people on these boards seem to have used it with success. That might be your only way of staying in Manhattan for $150 a night. It seems to me that some of the hotels you are mentioning here are very far out of the city and not an easy commute in.

I used Priceline for our trip to NY last Xmas. I got the 4* Hilton opposite Radio City Music Hall. It cost a $100..a real bargain. It is worth learning how to use it. I have used for every hotel that I've booked in the past 5 years.

Thanks everyone for posting your winning bids. It is most helpful. I have been waiting 6 days to see a posting on Bidding for Travel for the city I'm looking at.

This is so helpful. Thank you all for contributions:D

Thanks for posting your fantastic winning bid! It will be of great help to others.

It was suggested by Kelnac that we list our winning bids at hotels. We could list them wih dates and areas. I pasted some answers from another thread so we could start out with summaries from any winning bid from any port.:D

Ft Lauderdale Priceline "Winning Bids"

Hi Everyone,

I thought it may be nice to start a Priceline, Hotwire, or Easyclick winning bid thread. If everyone lists the hotels they are picking up it may be helpful to others.

We could use this format??

Date: December 31, 2006 (New Years)

Number of nights: 1 (post cruise)

Hotel: Westin Fort Lauderdale

Rating: 4 star

Area: Ft Lauderdale north

Site: Priceline

Winning Bid: $95

Taxes & Service Fees: $19.17

Maybe every so often we could but together a summary page of dates and winning bids. If this works well we could have a thread for each cruise port.

Enjoy!
