We live in SWFL so we drive in day of most cruises. Even if you come in earlier and stay at a hotel you can park at offsite cruise parking the morning of. We have personally used Premier Parking close to the port. Its a parking garage and they have an included shuttle to the port. You reserve online and I can usually find a coupon code. If you come in 1-2 days early check out Groupon for Miami based activities for the family such as an Everglades boat tour, or a guided Star Island boat tour etc. Of course South Beach is a must see as well. Our friends fly Allegiant from Michigan to FL frequently and they have nothing but good things to say about them. I say its worth the money savings if you decide to fly.

What time did you arrive?

YES!! This itinerary has been on our list for quite some time as well. LOVE your reviews, will be following along! 😄

How about bringing a wedding photo and displaying in your cabin? Also if you have champagne flutes from wedding you could bring those for your anniversary Cheers! Happy 25th! It's ours this year as well!

Do you use the full sugar or sugar free version? I want to try SF but worried it wont work the same as the original. How did you like Water Boy?

Megan, I live in SWFL, Sarasota. You must come check out Siesta Key Beach. Our sand is soft powder fine and white. It's amazing!! Thank you for another awesome trip report! I missed it LIVE but having fun this morning reading through it all. You seem like an awesome chaos coordinator aka group cruise host!!

Loved the pics of the Coast Guard! My nephew is stationed there on one of the small boats you have pictured here! We were on Celebration for Thanksgiving and their boats came along side of the ship and blew horn etc. Then we spent the evening with him and he took us to an awesome restaurant on the water with fish tacos! Best day ever!

I have been watching many ICON YouTubes this week, major FOMO. Anyhow You Tubers "Views and Queues" and "Parodeejay" both show the GF part of the buffet.

Megan I really hope you're getting to see this game!!! This is what it's all about, good ball game!!! GO BUCS!!!!!!

No, the other side of the island is more "bay" like with calm waters and no rocks.

I'll add that the island buffets and food trucks are also included. Any drink packages may be used on island as well.

Can't do this when you're home right now so stay as long as you can...

Typically 2nd but I recall you can get the lobster in Chabang or LaCucina on formal nights... ?

Chibang!

cruisedeckplans.com very helpful!

I 'think' you're allowed to take still photos? Just no video? I may be wrong though with Feud?

Have SO much FUN!!!

My son went to the deli many times and walked away with that pretzel bun! That and ice cream kept him afloat all week...

He's awesome, we had him in November! He's going on vaca soon with his very beautiful GF... I think Australia (could be wrong on the country... he made us many very good strong drinks)!

DJ Cue is just awesome! We hadn't been to the "club" in years but he talked us into it and we had so much fun!! Make sure to check out Evolution towards the end of the cruise!

Where's the "oh crap" button??

Let's go BUCS!!! We've got a LOT of rain today so the field should be nice and soaked Congrats on the Feud! Totally wish we were there to watch you and your "fam" in action!!

Cant wait to hear about your Feud adventure! Kick some booty!! Major FOMO here

You could go see Megan do the Feud!

I love the couple in the very back making out. Get it!
