Hopefully Allure stays in Florida

 

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app

Pulling to many ships out of FL hope it stays also

Oh sorry. I probably should've assumed that :)

Thanks please let us know if you hear anything, doing a B2B on RCCL in April and hoping to hear something by then, if not may look at Princess for an Asia cruise

Oasis has cruises available for booking through April 2016. So she won't be heading to China until at least April/May 2016. (If there are even plans to send her to China!) :)

Sorry I meant to say fall of 2016

I know the Quantum is going there but we have reservations on the Oasis for next year, February 20, 2016 out of Fort Lauderdale

We heard that the Oasis is going to China in the fall of 2015, waiting for news

Thanks for the information, I will check it out

There is a new Park & Sail in Cocoa that will save you about $50 on a 7 day cruise. Go back a few pages in this thread for more details. Also many hotels here will let you leave your car with one nights stay and shuttle you to/from the ship.

This is our first time sailing out of Port Canavarel, is there any other

place close by to park besides the port? We are going out of pier 10

I'm the one who booked with stay123.com Their price seems to fluctuate because the very first time I went to the site I got the price of $79.00. I didn't book because I wanted to call the hotel to confirm this site was legitimate. They said it was and the price went up by the time I got back to book. I booked it at $89 and was glad I did, I have yet to find it for less. The hotel wouldn't match that price either.

 

Hope this helps.

It sure helped me, I got the same price but from the hotel with my AAA card.

Thanks for the information, I really appreciate it.

This seems to be the place to ask questions of this sort and my guess is royalcruz can help when he gets back in a couple weeks. (How dare you leave when we are in need of information?)

 

We have a group of potentially upwards of 15 going on the Allure in late March. We will all be coming in by car and we will likely have three and possibly four cars. We will be arriving on Saturday and can arrive at any time including very early. The cruise departs on Sunday. Here are our needs (wants?):

 

1. A hotel on the beach (the Bahia Mar is not an option because one of our group is very picky about being on the beach).

2. Free parking during the cruise.

3. Safety for our car while on the cruise.

4. Price is not the primary issue but it would be nice if we could PL or HL although I know that March is the worst possible time to do it.

5. Shuttles to and from the port would be nice but are not a dealbreaker. Obviously, we don't care at all about shuttles to the airport.

6. We would like to get as few rooms as possible - question becomes do we need a separate room for each car which we will be parking at the hotel?

7. I plan on sitting beachside or poolside the whole day filling my rumrunners in preparation for the following week all the while making sure to keep myself hydrated by sipping liberally from the bottles and rum runners. Thus, I don't care much about how nice everything is and would be just fine with a cheap room by the port. Alas, the remainder of my group is very concerned with making sure everything is nice and resortlike.

 

In a nutshell, we want a cheap room, that has a fantastically wonderful resort like atmosphere, that will let us park our car there while we go on the cruise and keep it safe, and that will basically cater to any other whims we may have. Any ideas?

We got a good price ($89.00 with AAA) on a room in Feb at the Cambria Suites in Dania. They have free parking and shuttle to the pier and it is in a good area with nice restaurants close by.

I called the hotel direct (1-954-889-2600), not sure about prices in March but it might be worth checking out.

Someone else on this site booked it @ 123stay.com and got the same price.

Duffy's in the Harbor Shops in Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood Ale House in Oakwood Plaza in Dania. There are big screens all around the room.

Thanks I will see how close they are to the hotels as some people will not have cars.

We will be in Ft Lauderdale Feb 7th/2011 day of the supper bowl.

A group of us will be staying at the Roadway Inn, Hyatt Place and Cambria Suites.

Could you please tell us if there is a sports bar with a big screen TV close to any of us so that we can get together and watch the game.

You're very welcome. I just hope it lives up to all of our expectations. The building is new, I think it's only been open about 6 months. I will come back and update y'all when we get home.

 

I was told that the parking is definitely free, even booking with this booking site.

Thanks again and keep in touch

Check out Cambria Suites. www dot cambriasuitesfortlauderdale dot com

 

I got a price of $89. per night. This includes up to 14 day free parking, shuttle to the port and back. It does not include breakfast. I got this price at www dot 123stay dot com I have noticed when you go to this site the first time gives you the lowest price. Each time I go back even within minutes the price goes up. I checked with Cambria before I booked to be sure the site is legit. They said it is and they can not match that price. you have to book through 123stay to get it. We're looking forward to staying there in Dec.

I have found that a couple of the hotels will charge for the parking if you don't book directly with the hotel, which of course the price is higher.

I will check with the hotel first but this does sound like a good deal and I will difinetly check it out.

Thank you for the information. We may just do the lot as we are

driving from Ocala and don't need a hotel for the night before our cruise.

We haven't been able to find a hotel that has a shuttle to the pier and is reasonable for an overnight stay where we can leave our car.

We will be driving to Ft Lauderdale in Feb and was wondering what is your opinion of the Park & Go for the cruise for $12.00 a day or can we just park at the airport Park & Go for $4.99 a day and catch a taxi to the Pier?

Would you know the approx cost of a taxi for the airport Park & Go to the Pier?

Thanks for all your help & advise it has been great.
