RedskinsCruiser2010 Posted June 23, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I just booked a room at the Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay hotel. Does anyone have an reviews on this hotel? I went to tripadvisor and saw some of those but I wanted to ask here also. I am flying from BWI to FLL the night before my cruise and I guess I will take a taxi to the hotel (first time to Miami :D:D:D). My boyfriend wants to have a private driver pick us up at the airport (have no clue why :confused:) so if anyone has done that before please let me know a good company to call. Thanks so much:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveling1969 Posted June 23, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Nice hotel close to the cruise port. Your taxi driver is your private driver:D Bon Voyage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denycejac26 Posted June 23, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I am also looking for a hotel in Miami for September so I took a peek at this one....FYI....the hotel website states they are going through a renovation June 1st thru November 30th. It will affect the lobby and one of the dining venues. Does not say which one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachgal Posted June 23, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I stayed at this hotel about 10 years ago - won bid through Priceline. It was very nice and close to cruise dock. You don't need a private driver - taxis are lined up when you get out of airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much:o I don't know if you realize this but Biscayne Bay Marriott is quite a distance from the FLL airport. I think a cab will be around $70-$80......please someone correct me if I'm wrong. Your boyfriend can rent a limo but that will cost even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted June 23, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Taxi will run $80-85 :eek: Check out SAS (www.ridesas.com) for shuttle service - typical charge is $15 per person. This hotel is often suggested on these boards - close to port and some rooms have a view of the cruise ships. The bar/dining room at the Doubletree (next door) is good, and there is some shopping (drug store, deluxe grocery, etc...) in the underground area. Walk 2 blocks to Biscayne and 18th and dine at Bin 18 - great Bistro, wonderful food and service and an extensive beer and wine list.;) Good luck!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveling1969 Posted June 24, 2010 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Last year, taxi to cruise port from Miami airport was $24 + tip. It's still the same. Google taxi fare from miami airport to port of miami. Fixed price-no meter. It's right on the taxi window (stencil). $80; no way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricy99 Posted June 25, 2010 #11 Share Posted June 25, 2010 :DI booked this hotel for my wedding cruise guest(aug 14), I did learn after I booked that there will be renovations, I hope this doesn't interfere. I got a great deal through their group booking dept. $89, I have heard great thinks about this hotel on this website so far. I was not of much help huh? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsCruiser2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Author #12 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Thanks everyone, I think I will keep my reservation at this hotel and go with a transportation company called Holland Limo (pretty good rate).. I also noticed the renovations part but I think I will be so excited about the cruise and eating some good food in Miami that I will not care too much (I hope...)
