Members CC Help Jenn Posted April 28, 2013 Members #1 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hi There! Please continue your bid discussions here. The last few winning bids: lastminutemama: Day of bid Weston beach resort $100. Cheapest online was 215+ fees so I'm happy with it Rocketlady bids I think the best advice for priceline or any other source is to go for the 4 or 5 star hotels and bid. We got the Westin for $100. I should of bid lower but didn't. We got a beautiful room and we felt safe. We had to pay for a taxi to the ship but it beats waiting on shuttles. You end up stopping at every hotel on the way. And when we got off the ship one year it took over 2 hours to get the shuttle to go for a five min. trip to the airport. Important to me was the safety and close to things to see and do the day before we left for the ship. Weston was on the ocean side and walking distance to go shopping and find other places to eat at. Jayfo Again! Thought I would try my luck for my other upcoming cruise and hit the Sheraton Beach Ft. Lauderdale again on PL. 4*, Beach Zone Wed, Dec 4th, 2013 one night Bid $70 accepted on the first try. Jayfo 4* Sheraton Ft Lauderdale 8/23/13, Friday, one night Started at 4 * $70 beach zone, rejected. Rebid $72, kept my bidding at 4* but added other 3* areas. Rejected again, jumped up my rebid to $80. Won the Sheraton. I had a backup reservation at Bahia Mar for $138 a night I'll be canceling now so I'm pretty pleased. I was hoping for Hyatt Pier 66 again but I'll try this & see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polycarp Posted May 11, 2013 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Need advice on how to win this hotel for a pre-cruise stay in Nov., 2013. I have used Priceline once in the past and can't recall what area(s) and what star-rating to use. Also, what would be a good starting bid. I really enjoyed this hotel and would like to stay there again, and don't want to chance not getting it. Any advice? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sass4 Posted May 20, 2013 #13 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Just obtained the Hyatt Regency Pier 66 for three nights in July for $82.00 using the Secret Hotwire rate. What is the secret hotwire rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineOnTheBrain Posted May 20, 2013 #14 Share Posted May 20, 2013 What is the secret hotwire rate? That's the rate where they don't show you the hotel only the area (like Priceline); once you purchase it you find out where we are. I really wanted to be on the strip but this was the chance I took. I do however have an issue with this hotel being considered in the "beach zone" as it is a mile from the beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyskie Posted May 26, 2013 #23 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Has anyone bid on three rooms to also include cruise parking? I've done one room, read some of you did 2 rooms.................just curious if there is a limit on number of rooms and secondly if anyone needed parking too? :) (Figured great, no airfare this time but turning out to be more of a hassle!)

maggienp Posted June 1, 2013 #25 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Have had good luck with Travelocity top secret hotels and thought I give it, Priceline & Hotwire a go for a one night Dec 8th stay prior to Dec 9th departure. I don't know what area to specify to have a shot at being closer to the port. Can you help? Thought close to port would be better to keep taxi to port reasonable. From reading here, It seems the shuttle can crowded and slow. With a Monday departure, would the shuttles be less crowded/quicker than weekends? Thanks!
