Reader0108598 Posted June 1, 2013 #26 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Have had good luck with Travelocity top secret hotels and thought I give it, Priceline & Hotwire a go for a one night Dec 8th stay prior to Dec 9th departure. I don't know what area to specify to have a shot at being closer to the port. Can you help? Thought close to port would be better to keep taxi to port reasonable. From reading here, It seems the shuttle can crowded and slow. With a Monday departure, would the shuttles be less crowded/quicker than weekends? Thanks! Hi Downtown or Fort Lauderdale beach is where you want to be both are close to the port. Cannot advise on shuttles as we never use them.

ger_77 Posted June 8, 2013 #36 Share Posted June 8, 2013 A general question - because I've only bid for ourselves in the past. Can I place a bid for a hotel using my credit card, but having the room booked in someone else's name? Our son and daughter-in-law are travelling from Japan to Miami for a cruise and I would like to get their hotels pre and post cruise for them. Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looking4info Posted June 10, 2013 #40 Share Posted June 10, 2013 This is a great rate....I'm looking for Oct 3rd & 4th 2013..Please explain to me how you did this ? This is new to me as the best I can find is Hilton MVP $272.06 total inc fees & taxes. LMT is a masked site similar to Hotwire. Checked your dates Crowne Plaza Fort Lauderdale Airport / Cruise Port is listed as a 4 star with 406 reviews. Showing $129. Call the price will be lower. Candlewood Suites Ft. Lauderdale Airport/cruise listed as a 4 star 2 miles to airport $106 Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port 4 star 450 reviews If you see a star rating/location/price that works call them with the info. They will offer a better price and usually let you know the property. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
