jamjam Posted April 29, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2004 We reserved Marriott Marina With Princess for $129.00 per night for 2 nights. Tax came to $7.70 per night. Total for 2 nights $273.40,including transfers from Miami airport to hotel 2 nights prior to departure. If I calculate super shuttle or taxi service from miami international to Marriott Marina in Fort Lauderdale we would pay at least $60.00. If I read correctly, this hotel on priceline sells for $60.00-$80.00 per night plus tax and service fees of about $15.00 extra per night. If you total these costs do you think Princess provides better value and convenience then priceline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can786 Posted April 29, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 29, 2004 If the total is $129/night for two people it doesn't sound like a bad deal, but beware that Princess usually quotes their pre and post cruise package rates per person. Just make sure the $129/night covers the both of you and that it is not double that for two.

jamjam Posted April 29, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Exactly, 129. 129. total 258. for 2 nights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted April 29, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I didn't realize Princess was using Marriott Mariana. I thought they were using Marriott North. I would also double check the prices - Princess quotes prices per person double occupancy. Glad to see them using another hotel close to the port.

jamjam Posted April 29, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted April 29, 2004 no mistake, I have seen my statement. 129 for 2 people per night. Marriott Marina was being used for this particular weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted April 29, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 29, 2004 You received a very good rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnmiranda Posted April 29, 2004 #7 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Was the $129 with tax included? If not, you would then be paying $49-69 for transfers. I don't know how far the hotel is from the ship pier though. Actually, at a PL rate of 80(high estimate) X 2 = 160 plus tax $25? = 185 ttl vs 258. You'd be paying around $78 for transfers.
