Thanks Billy for the info.  Only four more weeks...........but who's counting  

http://www.pier66.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/rooms/room-description.jsp;jsessionid=VP2HFKIJXHPHQCTEAGCCFFQKMQAYKIV0 I didn't see the "prepay rate" but I'd call and ask about it.  I didn't acually book on line, I just found the deal on line and called to book it.  I had some questions and they were really helpful.  ...

The room I had booked at the Embassy Suites was $160+.  Someone suggested the Hyatt Pier 66 and I looked it up on line and they had a "for a limited time only"  price of $89 for a Deluxe Lanai room and $119 for the lower Tower.  I don't know if they still offer it but it won't hurt to check.  The only catch is ...

Billy, I wanted to stay close to Port Everglades and originally made reservations at the Embassy Suites and I cancelled them when I found a better deal at the Hyatt Pier 66 (half the price).

I'm older than 44 and I had to think about it.  For some reason I kept thinking....there wasn't any Fred on Gilligan's island....dah!!!!! Thanks for tip on the ginger, I'll need it.

musicalcruiser,  Those were the good old days for sure.......I still have that button  

Sherry, I just cancelled my reservations at the Embassy Suites.  I found a really good deal at the Hyatt Pier 66.  I got on line this weekend and found a "for a limited time only" special, depending on the type of room you want, I got a deluxe lanai room that faces the marina for $89/night, its suppose to be newly remodeled ...
