Recommended Posts

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.

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! :) :) :)

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

I'm thrilled! Now if I can just use my hotspot for my laptop & bypass that $12.95 per night internet fee - I will be a very happy cruiser!

Hotwire secret hotel for this Friday, June 21 in downtown Miami

2 rooms

1 night

4 star offered at $97 (r rooms w/fees $228)

I booked and it is the Hyatt Regency

 

Was hoping for IC and not really happy because reviews for the Hyatt are not all that great. At least it's only for 1 night and we will make the best of it.
