Hi JD, I don't have any first hand knowledge, but we will also be overnighting on Oct 21 and have booked a dinner cruise. I chose the Port Bospherous Hotel as the pick up point as it is literally right across the street from the port. Good luck!

Thanks so much for your help Lido Deck. I hadn't even considered the Ramada Hollywood, but after your suggestion I did some checking and really like the area. And with the arts park and trolley to the beach I think it will be a nice fit for us. The hotel is a little less than I'd hoped for, but I think the area will make up for it (fingers crossed!). Thanks again :)

I have a ton of Wyndham points and was hoping to cash them in for a couple nights post cruise in March. Problem is that I am having a hard time finding a Wyndham hotel in a decent location in Ft. Lauderdale. I don't need anything fancy, as long as it is clean, but I would like to be somewhere I could spend a couple days without a car... within walking distance to the water taxi or beach or boardwalks... something like that. Does anyone out there have any advice to offer? Thanks :)

Thanks Silly :)

We are considering booking a deck 10 inside for a Panama Canal March sailing. We usually go with balcony cabins but could save a lot of $$ by moving inside. I am wondering if there are any lounge chairs directly outside the doors from the deck 10 rooms? We like to sit out at night and watch the world sailing by :)

I'm just going to assume that you are headed for a 7 day Caribbean, and say that I think you've got a pretty good list going. I tend to over pack, but after 4 cruises I'm getting a lot better at it. For the most part just pack what you would wear on casual summer days and you will be fine. The only thing I'd suggest is a second swimsuit. We don't spend too much time at the beach, but I have found that in the humid tropical air, clothes tend to stay wet for longer than you might like, and there's nothing worse than having to put on a wet suit :eek:

What was your initial bid with the taxes and fees?

And what zone and stars did you choose?

 

Thanks:)

I wanted a resort hotel in zone 8 (San Juan), so I started my bidding there at $90. Then one at a time I added zone 1, 2 and 3 (as they have no resorts) for a total of 4 bids per day adding $2 to each bid. The next day I did the same thing, starting a at $98 for zone 8 resort and then added zone 1, 2 and 3 for a total of 4 bids again that day (again at $2 increments). The 3rd day I bid 110.00 for zone 8 resort and my bid was accepted. Total cost 253.94 including fees and taxes.:)

Just got the Marriott San Juan Resort And Stellaris Casino for 110.00 per night for October 21 and 22, 2012 through Priceline :D
