CruiseWhere Posted January 1, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'm hoping someone can shed some light here...please excuse my ignorance being from Canada, but our March break ends here on the 17th. So can anyone explain why the hotels are so expensive for that day in FLL. We are trying to book one either near the airport or port everglades and the prices are insane:( Any suggestions??!!

eandj Posted January 1, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 1, 2013 March spring break times vary by school/state etc. So basically the whole month can be very busy. Check out hotels on hotwire or lastminutetravel. Use the hotel lists on betterbidding.com to identify the hotels on hotwire. I see a couple good ones listed on hotwire for under $150.

CruiseWhere Posted January 5, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Was able to get the Hilton Airport for $107 on Hotwire:) Not particularly my first choice but it works for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffymom Posted January 5, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Look at Last minute travel 114.00 at Springhill suites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexi1 Posted January 5, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I felt the same way about the price of hotels. I used airmiles it took 1100 but at least it saves a few dollars. I also noticed the weekend rates were considerably higher than during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzayear Posted January 6, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Look at Last minute travel 114.00 at Springhill suites Is that the Springhill Suites in Miami or Ft. Lauderdale? I needed a room to sleep 6 and I found one for $208 including tax but it's in Miramar about 30min from port. I will make my final decision tomorrow.

monicajay Posted January 6, 2013 #9 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Was able to get the Hilton Airport for $107 on Hotwire:) Not particularly my first choice but it works for us! Nothing wrong with this deal. Free airport shuttle, average Hilton rooms and a nice outdoor pool area that makes you forget you are at the end of the runway till a plane takes off. The pool is nicely heated. Also, free internet in lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt Tina Posted January 6, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Their Airport/Cruise Port Hotel includes free shuttles to/from the airport and Port Everglades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzayear Posted January 9, 2013 #11 Share Posted January 9, 2013 We booked the Hampton Inn in Miramar 2 queens and a sofa bed. There will be 6 of us, total $188+ tax. I'm told that this is a newer hotel and about 30 minutes from the POM. I feel lucky since so many of the other rooms booked up so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
