We are staying in Hollywood. Seems like we can use I95/MacArthur Pkwy/Tunnel to get to the port.

Thank you!

Does anyone know if restaurants and shops are walking distance from TownePlace Suites NW 11th street (MIA southeast area) Also considering Hampton Brickell I know shops and restaurants are nearby, but extra taxi adds to overall cost. stayed there many years ago, took the train from airport to Brickell station and walked to the hotel. Is the train from MIA still a viable option? Any other recommended hotels in Brickell, close to train from MIA?

Thanks everyone for very helpful responses.

Are you able to elaborate? We are sailing out of Miami on that date, understand there will be lots of road closures, wondering if anyone can give advice on best area to stay 2 nights pre-cruise for easiest route to the port on marathon day. Airport area? North of the port? South of the port? as close to the port as possible? Etc

No she charges on the day of the tour. She wants the credit card info to hold the booking and I assume will charge if you don’t show up on the day or don’t cancel outside 7 days prior. I actually paid in cash Euros and my card was never charged.

I had this tour just last week. We were able to pay in euros on credit card, or cash in euros (75) or USD (90) (actual USD depends upon her exchange rate on tour day). For me, coming from Canada, the exchange rate was almost the same to buy Euros or USD so I took Euros cash and took enough euros to include tip. Christelle was at the end of the pier in the same area where people congregated for Celebrity tours. She held a card with everyone’s surname.

Hello! First Celebrity cruise coming up, begins March 27, I have linked 3 cruise reservation numbers together for a total of 4 people and trying to reserve Select dining times. The app shows dining room opens at 5:30pm for Select dining, but the app does not show this time when I try to make a reservation, seems like 6:00 is the earliest on any day. Does this mean only walk-ins from 5:30-6:00, or does it mean bookings are full before 6:00? We would like 5:30 time each day, are we better off not making reservations and just arriving at the dining room at 5:30? Another two friends will be on the same cruise and may want to join us for dinner sometimes. How would we arrange this if we have reservations for 4 people? Also Terms and conditions show that cancellations must be made 24 hours prior, otherwise there will be $10 per person charge. Is this only for Specialty restaurants or Select dining as well?

That’s good info thank you!

Thank you!

Great to have several choices, thank you

That’s good news, thank you.

Hi, I will be on the same ship and itinerary in March, thank you for the review. I thought I read somewhere (maybe in this thread … lol) that there is no food available anywhere after the buffet lunch closes, until dinner time. Is that correct? So if returning from an excursion at 2:30 or later, we need to be sure to eat before reboarding the ship? There is nowhere to get a light lunch or snack after 2:30? (Or whenever the buffet closes)

Hi, I have booked this tour for March. Since the snacks are not lunch and the tour is quite long, are there any places at the stops to buy lunch or at least more snacks?
