Treacher1 Posted September 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2023 We recently stayed at Intercontinental hotels in San Diego and Ft. Lauderdale. We were pleased with the cleanliness and service at both. Since we are now IHG members, we would like to book the Intercontinental in Miami for a future cruise. What category room should we select for the best view of the ships in port? Ocean or Bay View - we will be on ICON so hoping she will be easy to see - as larger than many. If anyone has pics from their window that has a good view of the ships - share pic and/or room number please. I thank anyone who is kind enough to reply. Smooth sailing to all!!!

KeepCalmBearOn Posted September 10, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Bay view. The InterContinental is my favorite Miami pre-cruise hotel, as long as the price isn't too over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pocogb Posted September 11, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I just wrote the hotel about this very question and here is their response ( I was impressed by how quickly they replied) ""Greetings from the InterContinental Miami Gary and Eileen, We would be delighted to have you stay with us! The bay view and ocean view rooms will both provide an unobstructed water view. The difference between the two is the floor level. Bay view rooms are from floors 6-15 and ocean view rooms are floor 16-28. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. "" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
