Kuevan Posted October 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Cruising on the Joy in December and looking at possibly flying to the port instead of driving. Flights home wouldn't leave until after 6pm. I checked the NCL website and do not see any post-cruise shore excursions available - is this not a thing? Anyone have suggestions on what to do besides sitting in the airport all day? Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare www3traveler Posted October 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 20, 2023 My thought would be to get a "Day Room" at one of the hotels near the airport. They may be able to find a tour for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For our December cruise out of Miami, there are multiple post-cruise shore excursions listed Some examples ending either at MIA or FLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an encouragement for the OP to go back and figure out why they don't see shore ex because NCL is always very anxious to make sales. I have never booked a Miami cruise that does not have multiple post-cruise excursions. And we cruise out of Miami 3-4 times a year.

Rare evanskl4 Posted October 20, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I used resortpass.com to get a daypass to a hotel near the airport for the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRover96 Posted October 20, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Depending on your airline, maybe a day pass to it's airport lounge, like AA's Admirals Club, or what ever it's called now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negn Posted October 20, 2023 #9 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I second the day pass at hotel. Try to choose one that provides transportation back to airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgtp Posted October 20, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I would recommend a tour on your own. We did a discover Miami tour. We had this wonderful company take us around Miami and Little Havana with a stop for lunch. Large Premium SUV fit the 4 of us comfortably along with 4 large suitcases. Picked us at port of Miami and dropped us off at MIA. shuttle2gomiami is the name of the company! Or hang out at MIA. If you have AMEX platinum or priority pass you have access to those lounges. AMEX PLAT- Centurion Lounge Concourse D by gateD12 Priority Pass lounge: Turkish Lounge in Concourse E and H (I think you can purchase day pass also) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoopie17 Posted October 20, 2023 #11 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) In case you're flying in or out of Miami on American Airlines, you should be aware that the American terminal's shuttle train will not be operating for the foreseeable future. They are doing repairs on the foundation that holds the tracks. From what I hear, the distance from the furthest gate to the main terminal is about a mile...or a 30 minute walk. https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/miami-international-airports-skytrain-out-of-service-over-concrete-structure-cracks-when-will-it-resume/ We're flying into Miami in American in December and weren't happy to hear this. Oh...by the way. We were offered the city tour with airport drop-off and we signed up for it. Edited October 20, 2023 by schmoopie17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FitchburgWIFamily Posted October 21, 2023 #12 Share Posted October 21, 2023 We were on the Sky out of Miami in August flying out of FLL. I never saw any Miami excursions available on line, but the shore excursion list on board had quit a few. We did an Everglades tour with a drop off at FLL. I think it was 119pp, and our 50 credit was applied so it was less than 200 for the two of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiser2015 Posted October 21, 2023 #13 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I have a Miami return in late January. NCL shows no tour options available. Nor on departure day from LA. Other shorex listings seem normal. Personally, I am not seeking a tour as I have an early flight. Just adding a comment here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
