Everything I have read about hotels in this area it leads me to the Holiday Inn Express (convention center) its close to stuff- free shuttle free breakfast.
But alas- for me that hotel is 169.00 for a night so all that free stuff really wasnt free. I think going the weekend that you are -- you will find the same problem with it being high peak family time.. spring breaks--etc.

good luck

Hi Sweetpea. Where are you originating from? We are coming from Boston area. We booked our flights as soon as possible due to gas prices. Where do you find that ticker thing you have?

We are still looking for places to stay. We would like to go to the River walk and still be close to cruise ships.

Hi Cherbeth,
We are driving in from South Carolina. Where we are staying is only about a 20-25 min. drive from Fort Lauderdale so we'll just get up a tiny bit earlier and drive there. We are staying at the Embassy Suites in Boca and I thought we got it for a good price. We even get made to order breakfast that comes with our room.

You can go to www.tickerfactory.com and get the countdown clock. You click on special events or something like that and just follow the directions and paste it to your signature in the My Control Center and that should do it. Let me know if you need more help with it.

Did you highlight it and click copy? Then you go to control center, click edit my signature, paste the ticker clock in there and hit sumit at the bottom of the page. Let me know if this helps.

Hi Cherbeth,
I too am on the April 1 sailing with a group of 50 + adults.
We are flying to Ft. Lauderdale from San Diego California on March 31. for a pre night stay.
Our rate is 109. at the Holiday Inn Express for that date. Not sure if they are sold out or not as there is also another large group booked there as well.
Feel free to eme if you want more details. If I end up with an unsold room you are welcome to have it.

Thats a great price for the Holiday express. Youmust have booked long ago. I could kick myself for not booking when it was only 129.00


Cheryl- I suggest you book something soon- even if its something you have to book and just hold.

Hi Renee :wave
That's a great price :thumb We got the Embassy Suites in Boca for 129.00. I think since we've booked it the price has gone up to 140.00 or so but we are locked in at the 129.00 I can hardly wait for this cruise. Counting the days.

Yes I too am glad that we booked these rooms back in May to get the great group rate.
Pays to get things done ahead of time.
