shipknotshore Posted January 10, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I've been reading these boards for some months now and I've been taking notes for our upcoming cruise on the Navigator. So far I've read about so many but we've narrowed it down to just a few - just because of the comments we've read, not because we've stayed at any of them before. Intercontinental, Holiday Inn, or the Hyatt. These are all very close to the port and Bayside Marketplace. I hope this helps you. Have a wonderful cruise.

bajalover Posted January 10, 2005 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Kydale, Does this hotel do pre-check in? Does it have a shuttle to the port? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfourh Posted January 11, 2005 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Will be in Miami in May. Does anyone have any hotel suggestions? We were thinking of somthing near the port but do not want to pay a rediculas amount of $$$ Thanks!! We (group of 5 couples) are leaving our children (17 total) and headed to a beach for one day pre-cruise. We're hoping to enjoy our stay at the Claridge (http://www.claridgefl.com). We got a great rate for the time period and the lady who helped us was extremely nice and helpful. This is our second cruise as a group. Last time we left out of Ft Lauderdale and we (DW & I) used priceline while the rest stayed near the airport. We got resort for $90 on the beach while they paid $110+ for a not so nice place. Hopefully, this will work out for all of us this time. If you are wanting to stay on the beach, be sure to factor in transfers. We arranged all three trips ahead of time but it still isn't cheap.

KBG Posted January 14, 2005 #8 Share Posted January 14, 2005 http://miamiregency.hyatt.com/property/index.jhtml. We stayed there pre- and post-cruise a year ago. Got the rooms through Priceline for about $65/night. In fact, we got bumped up to an upper-floor suite both stays. A short, cheap cab ride to the Port of Miami (I believe it was under $15, including tip) and within walking distance the Bayside Marketplace. Hope this helps. -KBG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nacoochee Posted January 15, 2005 #9 Share Posted January 15, 2005 When we sailed out of Miami we stayed here Howard Johnson 1100 Biscayne Blvd Miami Fl 33132 It is right across from the port and we could see the ships from our room balcony. They also had a free shuttle to the port. We got a good rate when we booked straight thru the Hotel and not the national service...it is nothing fancy. but we had a great time (the pool is on the roof of the bldg) and Centenial Park is right across the street along with the AA arena. I think you will like it and it was reasonable (like $60 a room, but that was in 2001) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
