salamicruiser Posted November 18, 2005 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2005 We will probably book the Princess Everglades trip on the day of disembarkation from FLL which will get us back to MIA after the Everglades tour. We did a similar visit about 6 years ago (not cruise tour). I guess it's the easiest option, as our flight back leaves at around 5 pm. Any other suggestions. I do not want to hire a car!;) There will be me, and two teenagers!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptData Posted November 18, 2005 #2 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Have you thought of getting a Day room at a hotel with a pool or on the beach. It is an idea only. Then if the hotel room has a free airport shuttle you go nearer the time required. Good luck, have a good cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted November 18, 2005 #3 Share Posted November 18, 2005 The Miami Airport has a hotel attached with a rooftop pool that offers day rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoohUnderstands Posted November 18, 2005 #4 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Very very close to the port of Miami is Bayside, an area of shops and restaurants. A nice place to walk around and eat lunch and then take a cab to the airport. That might be for you. Pooh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted November 18, 2005 #5 Share Posted November 18, 2005 The Miami Airport has a hotel attached with a rooftop pool that offers day rates. That rooftop pool has been closed for some time now, well over a year. They have no clue if/when it will ever reopen... That hotel is a horrible dump anyway though. Renting a car for the day would be your best bet, but if you don't want to do that then either the Everglades tour that drops you off at MIA, or a day room at an airport hotel would probably be your best bet. The nicer MIA airport hotels are in an area on the south side of the airport called Blue Lagoon. These are all nice hotels in that area...

Besides, your children have grown, they might not remember what it was like 6 years ago. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
