When you're looking for a pre or post cruise stay, Hyatt Place Miami Airport-West/Doral is the hotel of choice. Our special cruise package includes a one night stay with complimentary parking for guests driving into Miami or a complimentary shuttle service from MIA for those guests that are flying in. Our package also includes a complimentary breakfast buffet and one way transportation for up to two guests to the Port of Miami.

Calling all Officially booked ConnieGoesCrazie Members

It would be helpful if members of our group are planning for pre cruise stays.. please visit the above link and then post your thoughts... keep in mind this would mean flying into MIA..

End of statement

I will say this as far as Joeyanddavid are concerned.. we can get direct flights to and from LAX and both FLL and MIA so that really isnt a biggie forus.. if the hotel price is in the 150 ish range (without shuttle) i say yes no doubt...

It surely won't hurt to get a price and see what they will do for a group. My ony question is does the free parking cover the entire length of the cruise or simply the lenth of time at the hotel? Also, how far from downtown is this hotel and how far from the port?

Deanna - thanks for the information and checking into this

Parking is included for the duration of the cruise... up to 21 days. According to map quest they at 13 miles from the Port. They have a shuttle to and from the airport included in price. And a shuttle to the Port included in the price. We are on our own to get back to the hotel or airport. But she gave me the name and number of a transportation company they use for the shuttle we can book the return trip with if needed.

I gave Joey all the info on who to call, group code, pricing etc... not sure if he wants it posted here or not... so will let him disseminate that info to your group if you decide it is a good option for you guys. I have 20 rooms on hold for our group and your group if needed.

Attention ConnieGoesCrazie Group members ..

I emailed members in regards to a hotel option.. here is a brief snyopsis of that email for discussion here:

We have a chance to book a hotel in Miami at a Cost of $159/night plus tax. The hotel used to be an AmeriSuites but now is doing business as Hyatt Place...This rate would Includes parking for up to 21 days, deluxe continental breakfast, shuttle to the port for 2 ppl (each additional $12/adult; $10/child over 2 ppl in a room for shuttle), and a shuttle to and from the airport. Please see the google map for locationhttp://maps.google.com/maps?q=3655+NW+82nd...615234&z=11 zoom out to 50% in order to see placement in metro area.

Hi all... where did everone go? Are you having a good weekend so far?

Already e-mailed Joey on the hotel. If it will provide parking for those driving it looks good to us. It is a bit far from downtown Miami but having lived there that is no problem for us. Nothing I want to see there anyway. Parking is going to be the big problem and this hotel will solve that problem

I totally agree about the parking issue... even though it is 12+ miles from the port what we save on parking is worth it to me. Miami is the most expensive place to park for a cruise thus far. I hope the hotel works for you guys and was happy to share the info with you all. I already have my room on hold and their are 19 more available... if we need more I can add additional rooms if needed.
