JSeals4316 Posted February 16, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I want to book the Carib Hilton for July. The lowest price I can get at this time is $190. Should I wait that prices may drop the closer it gets to Summer or should I book it now? That seems like a very high price for Summer. I am afraid to use Priceline or Hot Wire that I may get the Normandie Hotel next door and that is a hotel that I really dislike. What would you do?

Emerald31 Posted February 16, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I am cruising in November 2006 and I booked my hotel back in December 2005 through Priceline. Received the Caribe Hilton for $65/day for pre and postcruise stay. If you decide to bid on Priceline bid San Juan area and resort only and this will guarantee that you will get 1 of the 3 resort hotels listed (Caribe, Marriott or Intercontinental). The Normandie is a 3 star hotel on Priceline so as long as you bid resort you would be ok. A good place to research Priceline and Hotwire is go to either BiddingforTravel.com or Betterbidding.com, both sites helped me in my research for a hotel in San Juan. Going rates for the Caribe for my dates are over $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landraceem Posted February 16, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I also used Priceline for the Caribe Hilton. I got it for $75 per night in April over Easter weekend. Going rates were $295 per night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giskard Posted February 17, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I just got the Caribe Hilton for our precruise stay for $65 night on priceline this week for 11/23/06 for two nights. Bid resort and got it on the first try. Also used the sites mentioned above to do my research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosier Posted February 17, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I used Priceline this week and bid $70 and got the Caribe Hilton for 1 night pre-cruise 7/15. I originally bid $60, but it was denied. I bid for resort, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
