Anyone use Priceline recently for Vancouver

2/3/10

We are planning a cruise out of Vancouver in September 2010. Never went with price line, but have seen that people on this site had used it before. I'm a little nervous about a hotel being assigned rather than my selecting one. My husband feels any 4 Star hotel in downtown Vancouver has to be good. Not sure what bid I should start with. Has anyone named their own price and booked through price line? What bid was accepted and what hotel was assigned to you?

Next cruise out of NJ, my home port, no research or hotel needed there.
