Recommendation of Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale
Sorry, I know this has been a topic that has been discussed before, but at
the time I was not going, so I did not save the information...;-( If you have stayed in a hotel for a pre-cruise in Ft. Lauderdale that you especially liked, please let me know, as we need to book one in mid-January... Thanks! --Jean

I've liked the Sheraton Yankee Clipper, near the ships, right on the beach,
etc. The prices are all over the place, so if you don't like the rates you are seeing call and see if they have any specials or anything. "Jean O'Boyle" wrote in message m...

Highly recommend using Priceline for hotels in Ft. Lauderdale. Bid "resort"
in downtown zone, for around $100 and you'll get Marriott Harbor Beach (outstanding property), bid slightly less for 4 star and you'll get the Hyatt Pier 66 or Renaissance, bid 3 star (around $70) and you'll get Marriott Marina, Embassy Suites or Renaissance. All of these are fine hotels, in excellent locations, close to the pier. We are staying at the Marriott Marina, Jan 26-29.. $70/night. Hard to beat that price for a quality hotel. -- Regards, Kuki Features Editor CruiseMates.com Internet Cruise Magazine "Jean O'Boyle" wrote in message m...

Jean,
I really like the Hyatt Pier 66. I have booked through Priceline twice and got rooms for $80 to $90 plus taxes. (within the last 14 months). Both times they had me reserved for a lanai room (which are nice) but I was celebrating a birthday once and showed my Hyatt card both times and they were nice and upgraded me to a tower room with partial views of the port (Could see the Grand and the Caribbean Princess) and excellent views of the intracoastal. The rooms are nice size and the revolving bar on top is great. (However, it can get smokey). Be aware that they do not have the freebees that other lower end hotels have such as free air and cruise port transportation or free breakfast. FYI- My experience was Cab from Airport $11 plus tip. Van service to cruiseport $5 per person. Steve Hayes

As others have posted you can get either of them on Priceline at a good price. -- Charles

I agree whole heartedly with "kuki". I have used Priceline about 6 times in
Fort Lauderdale, always bidding for a 3 star and sometimes being put in a 4 star and have not been disappointed. If I had my choice for a pre-cruise, I would chose the Embassy Suites. But all the hotels we have been assigned via Priceline have been very good. And the savings are tremendous. -- Greg lid (Remove the '.invalid' twice to send Email) "kuki" wrote in message news:kRCyd.548030$Pl.169730@pd7tw1no...
