I really enjoy watching your videos, always get so much great information. I do look at reviews, including Trip Advisor but tend to look at sites as well. Trip Advisor are not verified reviews, meaning that anyone can put a review, whether they have stayed at the hotel or not. Expedia, Priceline and other online booking site reviews are verified, meaning that the reviewer booked with the OTA and actually stayed at the hotel. Just something to think about when looking at reviews.
Onet of the takeaways I get from this video is I should also book my cruise directly with the cruise line instead of a travel agent
Thank you!!!
Great content!! Thanks!!
Thank you so much for the great tips! This will help us to book for our next cruise. I found the information very helpfull!
Thanks for great information.
That was extremely informative. We have used google maps before but have never thought about google earth, so thank you. One thing though to consider is we like to book hotels using points from the Chase Reserve credit card so it’s not always practical to go directly to a hotel site. But still very informative and will use these tactics in the future.
Awesome information! Thanks!
Love it!! Thank you!
Great advice!
Very helpful thank you
Not to mention the Hilton Honors program. We love the points and get free nights!
I, too, am a big fan of that Google man. So useful for everything. 👍🏼 (Even on Zillow). Thank you. ⚓️
Great video, thanks for that information as there were some things we didn’t know. Much appreciated!
Great information!
Great info on this video! Lots of things I wasn't aware of so thank you!
What is a good hotel leaving out of cape liberty.
Great advice, thanks. 👏
I also use travel search sites to look at options but book directly with hotel or airline. It’s great for comparisons but I have learned hard way that when you have an issue you often can’t deal direct with the hotel/ airline.
Great info! I had never heard of Pegman.
Lots of great info. I've only used a third party for hotel booking once and learned my lesson. So much hassle if you need to cancel.
great info
Fort Lauderdale has an Embassy Suites near Port Everglades.
I always use Google Earth for doing a thorough recon on the hotel and the surrounding area with regards to the availability of dining, shopping and walk ability for convenience and overall safety. This is critically important when flying to a location and being without a personal vehicle. Let’s face it, these days, nearly every major city has at least one “No-Go” zone and it is prudent to avoid being in it.
I do the exact same thing using Google Earth. I spend a fair amount of time walking the streets to make sure they are safe.
Awe-some content. This is really great info. We do a lot of this. Pegman is a great! Trip advisor is my go to! Real pictures alway make the choice for us. The walking option – yes! Good stuff! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great videos. Love all the ones about the cruise ports now this.
Right there with ya on booking direct with hotels. For the many reasons you mentioned. Sharon is the only person involved in my bookings (cruise).
Love the street view . I used today to see if my 10 minute walk to dinner was up a steep Seattle hill or not
Thanks Jamie, have definitely started putting in address pre departure… so helpful. What’s a safe cheap area to stay in, in Miami please? Asking from England 🏴
Hey I was just wondering do you know any good hotels in Seattle Washington that is good near Pier 91 we going on Carnival next August and we are trying to find a good hotel to stay at the night before the cruise thanks for any help that you can do for me love your videos
Agree..we are Hilton people also, always book with the hotel.
Just curious if you guys have a premium travel card? I have several, but my favorite is the Amex Platinum which gives you status with both Marriott and Hilton (you would have had free breakfast with the hotel you just featured if you had that card). It has a hefty annual fee, but comes with loads of other benefits including airport lounge access, global entry, tsa precheck, status with several rental car companies so you don’t have to wait in line, and too many other to name here. As someone who flys at least a dozen times a year, it has come in super handy. Great content!
What’s your go to hotel by the Long Beach terminal? We are going on the miracle next March.
Thanks for the great info – we pretty much do the same routine in selecting a Hotel as well – and we are always happy with the results😎
This channel has helped me plan cruises probably more than any other cruise channel. I agree about the Hilton hotels, too, as most include breakfast & shuttle. I will need to update to using Google Earth instead of the map based on your info. I definitely book a hotel that is located in walking distance to meals, pharmacies, banks & liquor/grocery stores 99% of the time, not interested in paying for rideshares much. Fantastic vid & keep up the good work.
Loved this Jamie. Did not know some of this. Thank you
Thanks Jamie. I am glad to see I do almost all the things you suggest. I try to learn from as many folks and implement their best practices based on collective learning. I do all our booking myself directly with hotels, airlines cruise lines etc…after exhaustive research. Kind of my own private travel advisor and my commission is the piece of mind of no surprises (hopefully). Thank you to you and Sharon for sharing your knowledge and experience and allowing us to learn from it. Hope all is well and stay happy and healthy.
Great video Jamie! Unfortunately, the sigh of relief doesn't hit me after booking… The sigh of relief is when I set foot on the ship! 😜👊
