califmoon,Hotel shops are the gems of the industry. Unless you are already well established with an MSC that does them, you may have a problem. You will find tons of info by just clicking on the link below your post to find more threads about hotel shops.
Getting a specific area at a specific time will be close to impossible, since the shops tend to be announced just once per month and each site may have many blackout dates. Good luck, and welcome to the forums.
