Will this truly be your first cruise, or do you just use this as a logo?

Which ship are you going on, and for how long??

Quite a few of us got the Sutton Place on hotwire for $115 per night for June 2009. It is a 5 star with the golf symbol. You could search for your time period.

[deepnite10]

for those headed to seattle for an Alaskan cruise..

 

after reading thru these post..Priceline is the best

way to save money..though you don t know the exact

hotel your going to get when you bid your going to be

atleast in the local..

 

OK..we ve been looking for the best pricing for a hotel

close to Pier 66..but, as many of you know..the pricing is

way to high for many of us to even consider..they are both

the closest to the pier..and high for their star rating..

 

then tonite..well, you check it out yourselves..Easy-Click,

Edgewater Hotel..you ll be surprised at the pricing..

Westin Long Beach for 1/17/2009 for 85.00

[iancal]

San Diego 4* Hilton Gaslamp Quarter. March 3/4 $96. Could have waited for lower price but wanted it booked. Seems like a good hotel/buy.

[Coracii]

Bid placed for 4* hotel in Pikes Market area of Seattle at $140 per night was accepted by The Westin Hotel for a two night stay from June 4th through 6th, 2009. Seems like a pretty good deal to me, cheapest I'd seen The Westin at any other site was in the neighborhood of $230 per night. First time I've used Priceline, but so far I'm liking it. Probably could have done better, but I can live with 40% savings.

The Doubletree Shuttle will take you to Von's for groceries - we had them drop us at the egg and waffle for b'fast, walked down the block to Von's, bought sodas, tonic and limes (don't ask how we got the gin onboard<G>) and then called the shuttle and had them pick us up. Very easy and friendly, just cost us a tip.

 

FYI, be sure and sign up for the cruise shuttle as soon as you check in, it was filling up fast when arrived and we got the last one before 1pm when we got there.

 

Have a great cruise....if you want more info check out my review.
