Tru_blu68 Posted November 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Does anyone have any idea when Value Trips opens bookings for 2024? I have sent an email requesting when the booking dates would open but have not heard back yet. We have a cruise the end of January and don't want to wait too long and miss out.

capriccio Posted November 13, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I would make a reservation now that allows cancelling and that you can live with if need be. Hopefully ValueTrips will publish there rates sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree we made a reservation several months ago for Feb 2024 directly with Hyatt (member) and will cancel and go through ValueTrips once their 2024 schedule is released.

But still hoping for Valuetrips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAYA Posted December 5, 2023 #10 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I couldn't tell from the ValueTrips web site whether I am able to book the pre-cruise stay and hotel parking during the cruise package through them. So I went and booked the Hyatt Place at 1851 SE 10th Ave. directly on the hotel site. I noticed that most of the park & cruise hotels no longer provide return shuttle after the cruise, and some do not include the parking in the price on their web site (e.g., Hilton Garden Inn at 180 SW 18th Ave, Dania Beach, FL 33004).

bren61 Posted January 7 #11 Share Posted January 7 Are you not able to book Valuetrips for January? I don't see any rates for then, but they have them from April on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any rates for then, but they have them from April on. Rates for Jan-Mar used to be there, at least they were there last week. The rates were $239 Sun-Thurs and $289 Fri-Sat. I didn't book with them for my early Feb stay because my AAA rate was lower when I booked on the Hyatt website. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lx200gps Posted January 7 #14 Share Posted January 7 It would appear that the months of Jan, Feb and March are simply inside their blackout periods, hence no availability: Not valid with any other offers or discounts, during holidays, special events, 1/4-3/31/24, 4/5-4/6, 4/12, 4/19-4/20, 7/1-7/6, 7/14-7/17, 10/17-10/19, 10/29-11/3 or 12/31/24. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily when the booking schedule opened we easily booked for March. Since then we found a better rate as a Hyatt member. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked for one of our upcoming trips, in October 2024, and the VT rate was 1/3 of the Hyatt direct rate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had an issue with them, my latest booking for this October went through quickly and is on the Hyatt website safe and sound. The general consensus here on CC seems to be that VT is quite legit and, depending on the date, can save huge amounts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have used them many, many times over the past 7-8 years. We have 2 dates for 5/24 pre, and post cruise booked with them. Took about 5 days for confirmation. We always double check with the hotel itself for the booking after we hear back from V.T. It is a great savings, and a real nice hotel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
