I reserved a room for 2/5/06 a couple of days ago on their website for $125.00 plus whatever taxes they charge in Florida.

I booked for 1 night on 4/3/06 and it was $136 plus taxes.

That expires Dec 2005.. Maybe they will extend it if you call.. I never thought to ask about that when I called way back... good idea tho:)

Kelly,

 

I see you are sailing to the Eastern Caribbean on March 5th....what ship are you on? A group of 31 of us are on the Explorer of the Seas, and some of us are staying the night before at the Holiday Inn, also. I booked back in July for $113, but have heard since that are sold out for March 4th.

We will be sailing Carnival Victory.. but if your group is around let us know .. I think we will be heading to Bayside to some bar for some fun!!!:D

[sicsinohio]

I'm sure we'll do some pre-cruise celebrating on shore! We'll have to keep in touch and meet up somewhere for a drink or two.

I booked a 1 night stay pre cruise for $127.50 including 13% tax. Also booked a 1 night post cruise stay for $118.12 including tax. These bookings were made in May 2005 because I just had a hunch the rates would go up......

I'm am also trying to book that hotel for 4/8/06. I have called about the Sail Away package and they did not know when or if it would be available for 2006. I called at the beginning of Dec. I am going to call back on Jan 2 or 3 and see if they know anything yet. I like the bayview room they mention in the package.And the fact that its $99 instead of the $130 they are offereing on the website right now.

 

If anyone hears anything about the package please let us know.

Lori--We are sailing on April 8th also---Triumph. We have been looking for a place also. We'll be checking this special out also. We stayed 2 years ago at the Raddison for $50. Boy, how things change!

[Scottohiocpa]

Last week I could have booked 2 double beds for $107, or a king with a sofa bed queen for $127 taxes included. We took the King and queen.

 

We booked April 18 and 19th before going on the Carnival Imagination April 20 to 24.

 

I used the priority club website.

Lori, if that $130 price is refundable, go ahead and book it now. That is Easter Week and rates will only continue to rise.

[Sparky2]

Well guys sad news...I talked with Emily in reservations and they are not going to offer the Sail Away package in 2006. At this point the best price is what is listed on the web. Guess I am going to book before it goes up.

 

If anyone else has a better price please let us know ASAP.

Lori, since you are from NY and probably don't need the parking, I just won a Price Line bid at the Intercontinental for $132. We are staying in November. I started bidding 4*, at $110 as that was the miniumum for the Holiday Inn that I could get but it is non-refundable. They rejected but countered to add $22. Doing the math, I decided $132 for a great hotel in the area that I wanted was worth it. I won the bid. Good luck.

Bon Voyage

I saw that they released the Sail Away package too...BUT wow the cost is huge compared to 2005. So I also booked a room at $130 plus tax. One more thing done...now watching for any price drops on the cruise before I make final payment later this month.
