Rare Keith1010 Posted May 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 20, 2013 There are many. I will list several and they are at different price points. Hampton Inn (Breakfast Included) Intercontinental Holiday Inn Bayside Hyatt Marriott Marriott Marquis Doubletree Epic There are others but this should give you a good selection.

girlscruise2011 Posted May 20, 2013 #3 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I just stayed at the Marriott Biscayne Bay. Woke up to seeing my ship at the Port. I booked it through LMT and also got a great buffet breakfast included. Really nice place, would definately stay there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted May 20, 2013 #4 Share Posted May 20, 2013 March is peak season (snow birds, spring break, etc.) - book something NOW that you can live with; then keep shopping for better rates. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mephistoles Posted May 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted May 20, 2013 We're booked at the Intercontinental however, I'm always on the look out for something a little cheaper. I was checking the LMT website and saw something called the B2 Miami Downtown. It appears to be a newly renovated hotel. I'm trying to see if anyone has stayed there and what they thought of it as I may be moving to that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliezra Posted May 21, 2013 #8 Share Posted May 21, 2013 What is LMT? (similar to Hotwire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted May 21, 2013 #9 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Of this list do you know which have parking while on the cruise and/or shuttle service? I am not sure if any offer and deals on parking. None have complimentary shuttle service. The taxi fare will run around $15.00 (for the taxi not per person) before tip so I would just go with a taxi.

girlscruise2011 Posted May 21, 2013 #10 Share Posted May 21, 2013 What is LMT? Last Minute Travel dot com. The only difference is you can cancel up to 3 days before for a full refund. Also, if you call them, they will confirm the hotel with you before you book it. I have used them twice for hotels and have a rental car booked through them. Definately like using them over some of the other travel sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted May 21, 2013 #11 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Of this list do you know which have parking while on the cruise and/or shuttle service? None - hotels offering cruise parking deals tend to be outside of downtown (where parking costs $25+ per day :eek:) with many near the MIA airport. Check www.parksleepfly.com and www.stay123.com for hotels offering cruise parking deals. Some will include a "free" shuttle to POM - plan on paying a cab about $25-30 to get back to your car. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Any ideas on the B2 since the remodeling? I've read alot on Tripadvisor and the ratings seem to be getting much better since it was up-grated, but I would really like to here your thoughts on it. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted May 24, 2013 #13 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The Hampton Inn Brickell will sometimes run a cruise parking promotion. I would call and ask even if its not on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
