ok i know i am dragging my feet on this but i have to book a hotel for 1 night in miami for 11/24(SOON)!!!! i am just having trouble deciding what location is most convenient. and let me say the holiday inn port miami is completely full. looking at Double tree Biscayne but no shuttle services either from airport or to pier. should i stay near airport or closer to port???

You may want to check into the Holiday Inn at the airport.

 

I think (not positive) that they not only offer a shuttle from the airport, but ON CERTAIN DAYS (Sun - Thursday) they offer a FREE shuttle to the port.

Yepper, when dealing with Miami and the Holiday Inn, you need to book that hotel 8 months out to a year.

 

Your best bet is to keep checking, try this website:

I have cox cable modem so although it seems like my green light is always on, Im probably out doing something. I also chat on other forums but this one has fun people and most of them make me laugh.

 

I work lots of over time, many 16 hour shifts so when I do get home I like to relax and read some of the crazy threads on here.

 

By the way where are you from?

What ever option you decide, make sure you still fly in a day earily, even if it has to be on a park bench (Bayside Market) :D

The Radisson is available that night for $94. Even if they don't offer a free shuttle (not sure), a taxi or shuttle for a fee cannot be that expensive since the Port of Miami is less than 2 miles away.

Then if that's the case check out the Intercontinental Hotel. It is across the street from the Holiday Inn and much nicer. Right on the water across from the port. 5 minute taxi ride to the port. Bayside a water walkway away.

Try priceline and save some money.

If you haven't already done so, check the East Coast Departures board. There's tons of good info there about hotels, locations, taxis and shuttles, restaurants, shopping, etc.

The holiday inn by the airport--one that has the shuttle to the port--is not a greta HI. We stayed with points one time and wished I could ask for my points back!! Try the Intercontinental as pay the 10.00 taxi fee.

I would not wait much longer, starting about Thanksgiving high season starts in S. Florida where the snow birds come down and the population doubles.

 

You need to lock in something soon. I used to live in S. Florida.

thanks guys,

 

always such great advice, God i love this website!!!!!!

 

And yes Fred we are pleased with our new coach, Pittsburgh is a hard city to impress and he seems to be impressing us!

The Hampton is very close to the port and I thought it was excellent. Breakfast is included in your cost and you can have free shuttle service. I was very pleased with the fact that I could park my vehicle there (for a small fee) and get shuttled free to the ship. They also came and picked us up after I called at disembarkation.

thanks everyone for your help i actually just booked at the Hilton Airport. hope my choice was a good one. They will shuttle us from the airport to hotel and my inlaws live in Ft Lauderdale they will pick us up and drop us at the pier on sunday
