sanantoniored Posted August 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hi all. Trying to book a hotel near Port Everglades for 1 night pre-cruise, 21 Apr 2018. Prices at most of our favorites are almost double what we normally pay. Did a search, and could not find any special event that would explain the high prices. Any info on the reason for the high prices? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishywood Posted August 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2017 My search found most well known hotels in the SE 17 St area between $200-250. A little further south in the Oakwood Plaza area the Hampton Inn, Cambria Suites and Comfort Suites are all under $150. Normal prices for the fringe of peak season. Would only be "almost double" to rates in the middle of the summer dregs. Two weeks earlier rates are more than 50% higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve20832 Posted August 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I would think all of April would be considered Spring Break, maybe that's the reason. March and April is Spring Breaks and the hotels make a killing during that time. Don't expect cheap prices then. I would suggest bidding on Priceline or see if Hotwire has inventory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops Posted August 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Keep checking prices we got Embassy for 207.00 for the same date. Hyatt behind them is 222.00 The prices always change. Checked orbitz and there are a few nice ones around 150.00 to 175.00 , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing fancy, but it's clean and they offer a free shuttle from the airport and to the cruise port ($8.00 pp), and a "free" breakfast.

Ashland Posted August 30, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 30, 2017 We stayed during spring break this past March at Hyatt Place for $219.00 per night booking with http://www.valuetrips.com and was the best price for our time frame. Great hotel and location...Will stay there again as opposed to Embassy Suites where we have usually stayed. Their schedule for your dates isn't open yet but keep checking.

kelmac Posted August 31, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Prices start climbing during the Holidays in December, but the months of March and April they peak! Look to book these dates very early, or if you want to wait it out, try again around February. We will be in Miami the last week of March and we will stay at the Atton Brickell Miami Hotel one night pre-cruise for $194.00 (Express Deals Priceline) and the Marriott Miami Biscane Bay one night post-cruise for $217.96 (Hotwire). Off season, these hotels would go for $100 or less. Expensive time of the year to cruise out of FLL or MIA. Enjoy! Kel:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any info on the reason for the high prices? Thanks! Spring Break and still peak season here ... I did a Hotwire search for April 21 and found two 4* hotels in the Fort Lauderdale Beach area. One is $148/night ($202 plus tax and fees - king bed) and the other is $166/night ($230 including tax and fees). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
