Do it yourself. This always works best for me and my extended family.

Right outside the POM terminal doors you will see a shuttle company with big signs offering transportation to MIA for $10.00pp cash. We have used this option so far twice this year, and it's worked out quick and easy for us. They have several shuttle vans that fill up quickly and are on their way to MIA. You cannot pre-book these but believe me they are there and provide great service. We will be using them again in March.

Once you get through the port shopping area you just head in the direction of downtown and follow other's that will be walking that way. Nothing hard about figuring this out at all once there. The walk is actually pretty easy and quick. You'll cross a main street where there was actually a local policeman acting as a crossing guard. Just walk straight ahead and you'll be heading into the main area of town. If we figured it out...you'll be able to also.

Check for the internet pricing during Black Friday and any other cruise planner items you may be interested in. This is when we have usually gotten the best deals.

We did the Snowbird itinerary with RCI...Quebec to Fort Lauderdale and it was one of our favorites.

Pay whatever it's worth it to you.

It states "booked" not sail by. We always prepay our gratuities.

You can try South Florida Shuttles...SAS...Jiffy Jeff. Any shuttle company offering rides and I would pay no more than $10.00pp if using one of these. But I do agree to just use the lined up taxi's. Make sure their on a meter and no a flat rate.

One booked so far for Feb 2026 7 night Mexico on Navigator. Home port and a great price so I booked when it was released. Waiting to book other itineraries as the RCI schedule slowly comes out. We book as soon as they open.

A lot of $$$'s has been spent on this newish port. Lot's of high end shopping area (most were empty) and a large pool and bar area. We opted to walk through (you basically had to) and into town on our own. Very disappointed in this town and port and on our next stop there in March will stay on the ship. Don't let the locals (all wearing the same type of shirt) scare you by saying to be safe they need for you to pay them to walk you into town, not necessary at all. Once into town pink street and umbrella street and a church....basically a waste of time. But up to you if you want to check it out.

RCI suites fleet wide should receive comp wifi we've always felt.

Have safes been added? I seem to remember a few years ago there weren't any. So if you want a tub you must request. I'll assume the TV's have been updated also? We like the option to use our Firestick at hotels.

Also one night near the end of cruise lobster and seafood buffet in the WJ. Ask staff which night.

If someone does have them send pics of the bathroom as well. My understanding is that those haven't been updated.

For a multi night stay we would still stay at Hyatt Place and always rent a car (HP free parking) and go to Sawgrass Mills Mall and Lester's diner. Better options of things to do when you're not restricted to walking.
