Hi, my wife and I are sailing out of Philadelphia on August 14, 05.
Never been in Philadelphia and need some advice on where to stay a day or two before we cruise on the Enchantment of The Seas. We will be flying into Philly. If you go to www.gophila.org, they have 2 night packages available for many hotels in and around the city. However, I wouldn't recommend staying near the airport since it is pretty remote and you'd have to cab it into the city. I just keyed in Aug 12-Aug 14 and found a few hotels in Center City (that's where most of the attractions, shopping, and restaurants are) for less than $300 for the package. A cab from there to the port shouldn't be more than $20-$25. Good luck and enjoy your stay. "SONNY" wrote in message ... Hi, my wife and I are sailing out of Philadelphia on August 14, 05.

My wife and I live in Center City Philadelphia. If you plan to visit
the historic sites such as Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell etc. I would recommend the Sheraton Society Hill and The Omni. These hotels also put you in close proximity to many fine restaurants in the Old City, Society Hill, South Street areas. There are also quite a few good to excellent hotels as well as restaurants in the Rittenhouse Square area. Center City Philadelphia is generally easy to walk around. The flat taxi rate from the airport to Center City is $20. Taxi fare on the meter to the Cruise Terminal at the old Navy Yard should be no more than that. It may be a little hot and humid in mid August, but most people really enjoy our city. Buzz |

on the meter to the Cruise Terminal at the old Navy Yard should be no more than that. I think it might be $25 by the time they visit. Cab fares are going up at the beginning of July. wrote in message oups.com... My wife and I live in Center City Philadelphia.

I agree that you should stay in one of the hotels in the old city if you are
going site seeing. I like the Sherton but it is not cheap. There is a less expensive Days Inn in the area but you get what you pay for. If you go into the business area there are few inexpencive places to eat. In old city you have good restaurants that are reasonable. I suggest you take a cab to Villa Roma in South Philadelphia for dinner. wrote in message oups.com... My wife and I live in Center City Philadelphia.
