Heatherco Posted February 28, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Just wanted to share this in case anyone else is looking for a room in May. We are sailing on the Caribbean Princess on May 13, and are flying in the night before. My sister and I just tried Priceline and both got the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale for $69 a night plus tax. It is on Marriott's site for over $300 a night!! This is listed on Priceline as a 4 star in Downtown Ft. Flauderdale. Hope it helps someone else get a deal. At least Priceline is still working!!

houstonathome Posted February 28, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2006 That is wonderful! Would you mind telling me what you bid...stars, area, price? Thank you, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherco Posted February 28, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Sure.... It was Downtown Fort Lauderdale, 4 star. There is only one 4 star listed in this area...which is the Renaissance. Good luck to you! Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddi Posted March 1, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Heatherco Congratulations on your winning bid! I will also be on the May13th sailing of the Caribbean Princess and will be staying in Fort Lauderdale pre-cruise. I am hoping to get a hotel through Priceline. I was just wondering if $69.00 was your first bid or did you start with a lower bid? Maddi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signman Posted March 1, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 1, 2006 People have gotten the Renaissance for as little as $50. I would start there and use free rebids to increase in $5 increments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherco Posted March 1, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Maddi: $69 was my first bid. The room was going for over $340 a night for the date I needed on the Marriott website. I did try a few weeks ago around $50 but didn't get anything. Then yesterday I figured I'd give it a shot. Good luck to you! Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngetway Posted March 2, 2006 #8 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I just tried to get this hotel on priceline for June, but I didn't have any luck. Glad you were able to get it. I guess I'll keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
