fstuff1 Posted November 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2019 doing a back to back so will have 6 hrs to kill. rather not pay the inflated shore excursion prices from ship. (hm.. is $59 hop on/hop off a good price?) are there any tour offerings at the Port itself? if so, what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueHerons Posted November 28, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I would dump my luggage as soon as possible and head to South Beach for brunch. Or take it with you. I always see people on Saturday and Sunday dining with their luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted November 30, 2019 #11 Share Posted November 30, 2019 You didn't say enough about your self. Are you walkers. Nor time of year. If you like to walk, consider walking from the port over the bridge into downtown Miami. You could then walk around the bay or even go to Bayside. Another option is to do this and from say the Intercontinental which is right near the bridge after you cross i you could get a taxi or uber to take you to South Beach. Walk around there and possibly have lunch and return via vehicle back to the port. Or do just South Beach. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should just stay at the port and walk around there. None of our answers have worked for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
