Rare Silent Penguin Posted August 24, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2021 We had to cancel our late September cruise, but instead of canceling our plane tickets, we're going to use them and take a little land-based vacation. Is there a good spot near the cruise port where we can wave to the parting cruise ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ColeThornton Posted August 24, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Put "Southe Point Park Miami" in to Google Maps. It's across the channel from the Port of Miami and you could throw a rock and hit the ships as they go by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLLconcierge Posted August 25, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2021 You are a good sport! They all leave at different time but you could take a harbor cruise of Biscayne Bay looking at all the fancy houses and wave while you are on board! Be sure to check out Wynwood, Little Havana, Little Haiti, the Everglades and Big Cypress Preserve and the 10,000 Islands (take an organized tour) as well as Viscaya and South Beach! Kimpton Surfcomber and th other couple Kimpton properties down here are having a special in September...I know all about them (wink, wink). You could also rent the Citi Bikes and drive alongside Macarthur Causeway waving as you go...or go have lunch on Fisher Island via the ferry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cienfuegos Posted August 26, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2021 The Smith & Wollensky restaurant at South Pointe, Miami Beach is also a good location, from what I've been told. It's right on the channel, with good food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's right on the channel, with good food Oh my......a blast from the past. We were sitting at a table at Crawdaddy's (now Smith & Wollensky) watching the SS Norway sail by when my now DH presented me with an engagement ring! People at the tables around us saw what was happening and clapped! Of course, that was 26 years ago but it's still fresh in my mind. Exactly one year later to the day, we were on the SS Norway on our honeymoon as we sailed past the restaurant. Great place to have a drink and watch the ships leave. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
