  1. I'm going on the Horizon out of Miami in October. This was a great video to help me with my planning. I will be flying home the same day the cruise gets back. What time do you suggest to get a flight back?

  2. Great info!!! Im researching for my cruise in October on the Horizon the same itinerary you had. Thanks for all you do!

  3. hello i am going to Miami in May your information was very good… I am looking to stay on south beach to party before i get on the cruse…. do you have a recommendation for a hotel there?

  4. I love you guys. Very helpful information. I’m cruising on Horizon in a few weeks. I’ll be looking for a porter.

  5. Which hotel did you guys stay at in the blue Lagoon area? I’m looking at Hyatt House and it seems to be across the bridge from stores and restaurants.

  6. Than you should stay home ..How did you deal with all those people on the ships. You better not do Royal Caribbean, can you say 6000 people.

  7. This has helped me out a lot for our 4/2021 cruise, I did have a question if we are driving in the day before is there a parking garage at the port we can leave our car or what's the options for that if we are not flying.

  8. Thanks for the tips!! We went on our first cruise April 2019 and used a porter and had the exact same experience. 🤗

  9. We are trying to decide between the Comfort Suites Miami Airport North or Hampton Inn & Suites Miami Midtown for our July 2021 cruise. Which would you recommend?

  10. Things are going to change by the time cruising resumes after the Covid 19 scare of 2021.🤔

  11. 😂 Bahahahaha 🤔 His face when you said you don’t like the shuttle because of being around people you don’t know 😂 and you could tell he was thinking 🤨 But, babe, uh, you like cruises! 😂 I had to like and subscribe 😜

  12. Hi, About the shuttle. I found out for alot of hotels and needing a wheelchair van/shuttle its a no go. Here is a great clue. if you use a paratransit/Door 2 door at home call them and tell them you are going to another city and they will or should know what to do. Just tell them the dates of travel.

  13. Very good information. Wife and I are heading to Miami to board the NCL Joy in February. We happen to be staying at the DoubleTree at the airport (love them cookies) which was either within or very close to your marked area on the map. We plan to take an Uber to the cruise terminal. Thank you for mentioning the price of an Uber ride because I wasn't sure how much it would cost.

  14. Hi. We will be driving from an hour north of Miami for our Christmas NCL cruise. We want to park at the port. What do you know a out parking at Norwegian? Do we need a parking reservation there? Also does the porter find your bags, or do you get your own and then get a porter? Thanks so much for any advice! Denise and Stef

  15. This video was so informative! Thank you for this great information! I now know what to do thanks to the both of you! Awesome!

  16. Great vlog thank you. We are doing an NCL cruise in July and are overnighting at the Embassy Suites by Hilton at the Miami airport. Is this a good choice?

  17. Please tip those porters a bit more than 1 or 2 dollars per bag. They do a good job, getting you from point A to B in the heat, lifting heavy, going through Customs and basically gettin you through the chaos. Well worth a good tip. Since they weren't working during COVID they are definitely needing the money.

  18. What is a porter and how do you find one? Do they help you from the airport to the cruise?

  19. Hi! Thank you for this helpful information especially the hotels near regular shopping. I will also be using your porter tip. Definitely liked and subscribed 😊. Also, when David said, "I have a famous face," I blurted out "yeah you look like John Goodman." Anywho, thanks for the tips!

  20. Hi, how do you get a porter? We will be traveling to Miami next year with the kids for our cruise (royal Caribbean). Where did you guys stay in the blue lagoon area?

  21. Thank you for this detailed info. I’m so worried that I’m staying near a hotel that doesn’t have a CVS or Walgreens near. Looking on Maps is no help. Trying to figure out how close the hotel is to the port is no help. Thanks so much!

  22. Thankyou for great video .You covered all the areas we had concerns about. We are cruuising in Feb and staying Holliday Inn Bayside. Flying in and out of FLl. Looking to book SAS Shuttle both ways. We can't wait to board Carnival Horizon.Thanks for info. Happy Cruising. Challon

  23. Good video! I love the Hilton Miami Airport Hotel, Blue Lagoon. I always stay there before a cruise. This hotel almost feels like it's on an island, with water on 3 sides! The hotel has a free shuttle to and from Miami International Airport. On the day of the cruise, I take the hotel shuttle back to the airport to board the Carnival shuttle bus to the port. I usually cruise solo, so I don't mind paying the $22 each way fare. I enjoy being on the bus with other people on my cruise. I always carry off my own luggage at the end of the cruise and it is usually very quick. I am going on a B2B on the new Carnival Celebration next year. Can't wait!

  24. if I don't take a shuttle when leaving port and going to airport, is it hard to get a taxi or ride without calling for one? Are they already there waiting when I get off ship?

  25. I just found your video, such great tip, we are planning a cruise next year leaving from Miami and I didn't have clue about where to stay the night before. Taking your advise and planning on staying in the Lagoon area. Thank you!

  26. What would you recommend for someone who doesn't fly and would like to drive to Miami and park vehicle while on cruise? Is there parking at the port or parking in Miami and maybe uber/lyft to port? I'm okay with paying to park.
