Priceline, hotwire, LMT, timing

[Ilikeboats]

Hi: I want to look for a hotel in Dania Beach for one day pre cruise as I understand the area is not only convenient to the port but also to the Hard Rock Casino where we want to spend the day. I want to go on one of the bidding sites, but was interested in what is the best timing to get the best pricing. (approximately) I need the room for Sunday February 22. I have already booked a cancelable room in case things fall through. Thanks for any advice.

www.betterbidding.com should give you lots of info on hotels and bidding strategies for both Priceline and Hotwire. Expect the pickings to be slim - you are looking for a bargain during the peak of the tourist season.

Book ASAP. I'm not sure that hotwire or priceline has an actual Dania Beach area.

LMT Club has a few hotels in Dania Beach -- Not sure about their availability for your particular date, however.
