John thank you for your part in pulling this off... kudos!!

we wanted two days ourselves.... ( i promised david a day trip to key west)

thank you and YES to your question that rate is good for up to 3 days pre-cruise stay..

Thank guys..... I like this option as well the price is outstanding... Marylou you were checking on optional transportation to teh pier correct? You now have a possible start point for those limos/shuttles to the pier that way we can see if our own agreement would in fact be cheaper/more convenient than going through the hotel.... bottom line can we meet or beat 10 bucks a head...

Yes deana it is... and Marylou .. let me verify before I answer you....

Hey how about that .. we are north in the SFV.. sherman oaks area

Ok Guys I got confirmation I was waiting on.....now as to rate…how about $98.00 per night plus 13% tax and this rate includes all the extra’s!!! With that being said ..... I would like for us to consider as an option and do here by request permisson from the group to enter into a verbal agreement that this will be our official headquarters for this cruise!! All in favor? All opposed? Clarion Collection Las Palmas Hotel & Suites 8436 NW 36th Street , Miami, FL, US, 33166 http://www.clarionhotel.com/hotel-miami-florida-FL927 Hotel Rate includes Parking for the length of the cruise if you so desire. Shuttle can be arranged to pier on embarkation day for an additional $10.00 per person (Keep in mind we will be negotiating an outside deal and maybe able to save even more. If no shuttle service is retained we do have this option available to us at that rate.) Hotel amenities and features include Free 24-hour airport transportation Free wireless high-speed Internet access Fitness center /Outdoor heated pool Free deluxe continental breakfast buffet (featuring hot items like eggs, bacon and sausage) How far away is the hotel from Doral Golf and Spa 0.5m/0.8km E Coral Gables 7.0m/11.3km E Coconut Grove 13.0m/20.9km SE Downtown Miami 13.0m/20.9km E Miami Children's Museum 13.0m/20.9km W Miramar 13.0m/20.9km E Port of Miami 13.0m/20.9km E South Beach 13.0m/20.9km E Miami Seaquarium 16.0m/25.7km W Miami Metro Zoo 16.5m/26.5km S Hard Rock Casino 18.0m/29.0km N Everglades Safari Park 21.0m/33.8km W Fort Lauderdale 30.0m/48.3km N Key West 140.0m/225.3km SW Orlando 200.0m/321.8km N
