Miami hotel when flying

[TheGaDawgFan]

I'm looking for a nice but not crazy expensive hotel for the night before a cruise. Do any offer transportation? I've tried searching this forum but haven't found this specific question.

Are you flying into FLL or MIA?

When?

 

The same hotel in August that is $100 is $400 in February.

 

What is your specific idea of not crazy expensive?

Which port? Port Canaveral has a company called Goportcanaveral.com which arranges a night stay at nearby hotels and has a parking area if you drive there like I am for the length of the cruise with shuttles included. If flying in they might have what they call Snooze-Cruise pkgs there may be similar pkgs for other ports.

We stayed at a place that is now called YVE Miami. Great location, can walk to shopping/dining and a large park across the street. Literally less than a mile from the port, believe they were offering a shuttle service for a small fee but a taxi cost would be minimal also.

Assuming you are flying into MIA and cruising from POM, only a few MIA airport area motels offer both airport and cruise port transport - La Quinta East is the most often suggested. Comfort Suites North is another budget option.

 

Better hotels in a better area, with nearby shopping and dining options (both the above suggestions are very isolated - plan on delivery pizza :() are found in the Blue Lagoon neighborhood near MIA -- Homewood Suites, Hampton Inn, etc.

 

Cruised dates and budget will help the suggestions to be more on target. ;)

Do you mean Spanish? Cuban are the people of an island country.

I'm also interested in this topic so I'm responding to watch this post. We fly in on 3/19 to Miami which is day before our cruise. Looking for somewhere to eat and sleep but also get a glimpse of Miami since we've never been. Nothing crazy high priced but also nothing 1 star either :)

Mid-March in south FLA is prime spring break time - expect demand to be high, and hotels to cost more. Budget? :confused:

 

Downtown Miami hotels often suggested on this board include several in the Mary Brickell area (Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, etc.) with shopping/dining/night life within stumbling distance ;) Other hotels often suggested include the Hyatt, Intercontinental, Doubletree, and various Marriott properties. All will be about a $25+ cab ride from MIA and another $12+ cab will get you to the port the next day. Uber costs will be about 60% of the taxi fares.

 

Unless you are flying in late and just want a room I would skip airport area hotels.

But it's the Cubans that insist on not speaking America's language of English so I mentioned them. The Spanish did not try to keep their language when they came here!

Good luck....it's a real challenge. Either you stay near the airport and near nothing, which gives you a airport shuttle but generally no port shuttle for a ok price....maybe.

 

Or you pay for a cab to a hotel downtown and pay ALOT of money but are close to the port and will prob have a port shuttle included or very reasonable from a hotel down there.

 

In ALL my travels for cruises, this is the most expensive and difficult port to co-ordinate hotels/flights/cruises.

Generally 2 nights in a hotel in Miami cost as much as the cruise in my experience.....

Anybody ever stay at this hotel?

Welcome to the boards. That hotel is in Miami Beach, which is a little further away and not as popular for pre-cruise as downtown hotels. I do not recall seeing it mentioned previously on this board. Have you tried trip advisor? :confused:

Thank you. We ended up booking something near the airport. If we want to go into Miami we will Uber. Hotels in Miami and Miami Beach are pricey. [emoji857]
