Thank you for your reply...they do not want to pay more than around $125-$150 per ROOM so yes...they are wanting to keep the hotel cost down. Would you put them at a hotel near the port? Do you have any recommendations of hotels near the port? I appreciate any advice!

Hello,

I am in need of suggestions as I don't sell a lot of cruises but I have a group cruise departing from Miami in June. I have 30-40 ppl coming in the day before the cruise and am trying to find a hotel for them for the 1 night. My question is this...is it better to have them stay at a hotel such as a Holiday Inn Express or equivalent by the airport and take the complimentary shuttle from the airport to the hotel and the shuttle back to the airport the next morning to catch the Carnival Shuttle to the port (I know this cost money) OR is it better for them to take a taxi from the airport to a hotel near the port that will hopefully offer a complimentary shuttle to the port and that way my clients will only have to purchase a one way transfer from the port to the airport at the end of the cruise. I just am not sure what is the best, logistical and economical location of the hotel. Also, if anyone has suggestions as to what hotels I should look at I would very much appreciate any advice and thoughts and hotel names!
