It's between 15 - 20 feet to jump in.  Many people just wore their bathing suits under their regular clothes for the day.

We did the excursion today. It really wasn’t worth the time or money.

This was one of the best reviews ever, thank you!  I have a question about the post-cruise tour of Miami.  I showed your photos to my SO and we decided we would really like to take that tour.  We live in Florida and drive to the ports, so the transfer to the airport would not work for us.  Do you remember the name of the tour company, or possibly any advertising marked on the bus that would provide a hint so we could book directly with the tour company?

I didn't hate it.  The park itself was nice.  The bus ride each way sucks.  They need to be more specific in their descriptions to make sure people know what they are paying for.

I don't recall the name of the tour company.  They were just regular coach buses.  My wife said that the tour guides name was Lance but that's all she could remember.  I looked in the Carnival book and it doesn't say who the operators are either.  There was a similar tour that we saw in most of the places we went.  It was a double decker bus that said Big Bus on it.  It was a hop on, hop off tour that drove around. I hope this helps, good luck.

Thank you for doing the review.  The excursion to the airport looks like a great option.

Fabulous TA, I have never sailed on Carnival, but we do get Legend down here for our summer and Spirit is based here all year.  Older ships, but we are getting Splendor down here in place of Legend next summer.  Your photos were great as well, a very enjoyable read, thank you for taking us along with you and Sherry.

 

cheers V

Thank you, that is the answer I expected.  Keeps people from booking independently instead of through the cruise line 🙄.  I did a lot of research before asking you, and thought the HOHO tour was the most similar.

We did some more research and I think I found at least a very similar tour with the Miami Tour Company, called Miami to the Max.

I really enjoyed your review. Can't wait to board the Horizon in September.

Yeah it worked out good for us due to our flight time and it was fun to spend the day in Miami.  I would recommend it highly.
