A couple weeks ago I decided to finally start sharing our Caribbean Cruise from this past June. In that post I talked about how we decided on the cruise and tried to book it while saving ourselves some money! You can see that post at Travel Days: Caribbean Cruise Pt. 1!
We decided to fly into Miami a day early to avoid rushing from Airport to the port on the same day of the cruise which was Sunday-Sunday! the added benefit was the flights were about $200 cheaper overall because we didn’t fly in the day of.
We booked a room at the Holiday Inn Port of Miami and we are very happy we did. The hotel is literally across the bridge from the port and across the street from a cute little shopping/market area Bayside Marketplace. So we got to walk around and explore a bit there when we arrived and before we headed to the port Sunday.
We had some lunch at La Camaronera and then dinner at CVI.CHE 105 because we wanted to try a place walking distance with drinks!
Then we got some rest and the next day we headed to the port and hopped on a big boat! We got settled into our room, got some dinner and relaxed.
Our first day was at Sea so we spent the morning at the pool getting sun and drinking frozen drinks…then we went to play Bingo and tried a beer and whiskey pairing class. We explored the boat and then got dressed up and had dinner and more drinks!
