DebJ14 Posted March 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the replies. Hopefully I can get to ship before it starts in morning. We're concerned about the traffic since the festival is at Bayfront Park and the Will Call window for tickets is at Bayside Marketplace. What time are you planning to arrive at the pier? We have Priority boarding as well and don't want to miss it. I e-mailed Carnival and asked if they had input into road closures etc. since there was supposed to be a meeting of all stakeholders including Port of Miami the other day. The response was that they were not aware of the Ultra Music Festival, which does not bode well. There were 330,000 attendees last year and part of Biscayne Blvd was closed. I don't want to get into the situation that people were in who got caught up in the road closures due to the Miami Marathon in Feb. and the shuttles could not get to the hotels to pick them up.

Plan on leaving our hotel by Miami airport around 9 or 930 . I guess I should find our what time they allow people into the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebJ14 Posted March 16, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Plan on leaving our hotel by Miami airport around 9 or 930 . I guess I should find our what time they allow people into the port. I saw that others on the Breeze were also leaving at 9:30am to get to the port. I guess that is what we will do. I have gotten a couple of quotes from car services. I guess I will go ahead and make a reservation. Just wasn't sure what time to have them pick us up. Several of the car and shuttle services were completely booked up with Ultra people.

Is this event at the concert grounds by Bayside Marketplace ? It has taken over all of Bayfront. It is the superbowl for DJs and the best in the world head to Miami for this weekend. Hundreds of thousands of people are in town. It isn't exactly my music either but it is fun to watch and listen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
