Hi there,
Just curious. Did you use a particular site to book the marriott? The best I can get for next March is $529
That's more than I paid for Marriott Times Square!
I know people often use other sites, but I'm not familiar with that, so wondered if you did, you might share?
Thanks
We're Marriott Rewards members (DH has Gold status from work travel) as well as AAA. The rate was $367, still expensive but the best rate I saw prior was $599. I booked directly on the Marriott website and it was a special Rewards Member rate. Even if you don't travel frequently, we've had great luck using Rewards rates over the last year or two -- saving more than the AAA rate.
I jumped at the rate because we're on the 3/30 Easter cruise and I knew hotels would be expensive that weekend. We'd prefer to stay downtown vs by the airport, so that increases the price as well.
My DH & I were planning a trip this summer to celebrate our 40th b'days and 10th anniversary, and then my brother got engaged & is getting married in September, so I understand your predicament! I hope you get to take both the cruise & enjoy the wedding
Where are you in Canada? I'm in Detroit and flights are the exact same price for us on Delta for FLL or MIA for our week. If you're in Ontario, might be worth the drive over the bridge?
