Bahama Mama 40 Posted July 15, 2006 #26 Share Posted July 15, 2006 How is the HI for breakfast? Someone mentioned that if you were a member you could get the buffet for $5 is it just the priority club you need to be a member of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnas902 Posted July 16, 2006 #27 Share Posted July 16, 2006 We are arriving vey late at night. I just want a clean bed and plan on taking a taxi to the pier in the late morning. Has anyone stayed at the sleep inn? How far from the port is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joie58 Posted July 20, 2006 #28 Share Posted July 20, 2006 We will be getting into Miami at Dec. 28th @ 9:30 a.m. check in luggage and go to the Bayside for the day, just come back to the hotel to sleep, wake up in morning and go to the ship. So actually we're like the other poster "I just want a clean bed and plan on taking a taxi to the pier in the late morning." Last time we stayed there, left windows open and fell asleep to salsa music and awoke to see our ship at port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say "stayed there" to which hotel were you referring???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natcolb65 Posted July 21, 2006 #30 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Has anyone stayed at the Marriott? We have a room booked there for our cruise on Sept. 24. I got a better deal there then at the Holiday Inn but it seems like everyone stays there. If it is a better hotle then I may change to the Holiday Inn.

kdg51 Posted July 21, 2006 #31 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I got the Hyatt for something like $28 a night a few years ago for our Majesty cruise and we were far from the boiler room. :) We had a beautiful room high up and overlooking the pier. Early the next AM we looked out and there was our ship...just waiting for us. If you have a back up plan and some time before you leave it doesn't hurt to start low and bid again later. At the time many people who coaxed me to try Priceline also suggested that we just take a taxi to the ship. Some offer shuttles but you need to wait for them to fill and there is also the possibility of your luggage taking the wrong ship if it is similar to other pieces on the shuttle.:( I have a free SW ticket for our cruise next April however we will be flying into Ft Lauderdale and not Miami. Can anyone tell me what it will cost for 2...possibly 4 people to get to Miami? We had relatives pick us up last time and we took them out to dinner and paid for parking and I think it might be easier (and maybe cheaper) to just hop in a cab this time?

Bequia Posted July 21, 2006 #32 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Can anyone tell me what it will cost for 2...possibly 4 people to get to Miami? Tri County Airport Express shuttle service charges $18 per person. www.floridalimo.com When you arrive at the airport, collect your luggage and go outside the baggage claim area, lower level, curbside, contact one of the starters (customer services reps.) wearing a white shirt with "AIRPORT EXPRESS" in red on the back of the shirt and an emblem on the sleeve and over the breast pocket. Let the starter know what service you are interested in and he/she will assist you. Taxicab from FLL to Miami runs about $70-$80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joie58 Posted July 22, 2006 #33 Share Posted July 22, 2006 donnas902 That would be the Holiday Inn Marina Park. Before it was the Holiday Inn it was a Best Western. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last few times I have checked the Holiday Inn is full. Maybe closer to the date some will open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
