dog Posted January 15, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Congratulations! That is a good price. It is right along the canal and a 10 min. walk to the center of town. Bus goes by and taxi is at front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otogocruisin Posted January 16, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I bid a 2 weeks ago for May and got the rate of $110 per night. The rates do not include taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashas_mom Posted January 16, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I probably should have started lower and worked my way up if necessary, but I thought they wouldn't even consider less and didn't want to spend days rebidding. I'm happy with my result, unfortunately it doesn't include taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2serendip Posted January 16, 2008 #7 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I see that there are now three 4-star hotels listed on Priceline for Copenhagen: the Kong Fredrek, the Palace Hotel and the Marriott. I'm not sure that there's any certainty now that one can bid and expect to get the Marriott. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashas_mom Posted January 16, 2008 Author #8 Share Posted January 16, 2008 2serendip...wow! Glad I got it when I did. I've read some not so great things about the Palace on Tripadvisor, but also read somewhere they have been bought by Starwood and rennovating it and it is supposed to become a 5*. Can't remember where I read that, I've been doing so much research. By the way, I'd love to know about your screen name. I own a company called favors by serendipity, and your screen name jumped out at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otogocruisin Posted January 16, 2008 #9 Share Posted January 16, 2008 All the hotels have always been on priceline. In all the threads I read going way back everyone got the Marriott when bidding. I believe the hotels have to agree to it and perhaps the Marriott is the only one that has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanCU79 Posted January 18, 2008 #10 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I also just got a bid on the Marriott Copenhagen today on priceline at $115 for June 28. I bid $105 yesterday and it didn't get accepted they counter offered $124 so I did a new bid today to split the difference and bid $115 and it got accepted. Comes out to about $150 with taxes and fees. Seems likes a good rate given what other hotels are going for in Copenhagen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlkitt3 Posted January 18, 2008 #11 Share Posted January 18, 2008 We got Marriott for $132 in August. First time I have bid or had anything to do with Priceline will I need to take a copy of our booking confirmation with us as well as photo ID for check in?

cruiseidaho Posted January 18, 2008 #12 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I bid $115 for three rooms pre-cruise for August 28 and was accepted at the Marriott. I then bid for three rooms post cruise but lowered the bid to $110 and was accepted again at the Marriott. Maybe the dates had something to do with it.

2serendip Posted January 24, 2008 #13 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi Sasha'smom -- You asked about my screen name. I was an English teacher for 34 years so have some background in English lit, and I recalled that there was a drama about travellers who went to an imaginary island called Serendip where all sorts of wonderful, unplanned experiences occur. I just played on that -- of course, it's where we get our idea of "serendipity" -- and I do so value that in travels, those wonderful times when wonderfully unanticipated events just seem to fall together. I don't remember the drama or the author just now, but I do love the idea of serendipity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danish viking Posted January 29, 2008 #16 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Train or Taxi. The hotel is 10-15 minutes away from the central station and the airport train takes you to the central station in 12 minutes. The taxi is easier but more expensive.

dog Posted January 31, 2008 #17 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I also got Marriott on Priceline. Any suggestions for getting from airport to hotel & hotel to the ship? With the savings re: priceline hotel why not take a taxi. We did. A tip: transportation from ship to hotel or to airport post cruise should be pre arranged. The line up for taxis was very long...atleast a couple of hours for those going between 8:30-9:30 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are smart to book early like this! Copenhagen can be an expensive city but there are places/ways to save money. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
