John - the hotel you mentioned looks fantastic and I checked the rates for November of this year as they don't have next year available yet and the rate was $125.00 a night - WOW.

The following info is from the hotel web site.

although I believe a few couples expressed an interest in the ability to park a car during the cruise..(if possible)

Joey - while it would be nice to park at the hotel for free during the cruise that would not be the #1 requirement as far as we are concerned. That hotel does look nice

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Miami 2 1/2 years ago. We were part of a group cruise and some of us used Priceline. Many of us got rooms for $65 to $75, depending on our bids. It was a nice hotel with free shuttle to the ship.

It would be great to be able to get the Intercontinental on priceline, for a great price!

Does anyone know if you can get multiple rooms using Priceline? We have used them several times before with great results but just for the 2 of us. Never tried for a second room.

That's a good question....I'd be curious to know as well.....I generally use hotwire and have been very happy with the results. Anyone else ever use them?

If you could..... I would think they would all be tied to one credit card!
