Need suggestions on post Miami cruise with teens

[blueladybug]

I need some suggestions on what to do post cruise in Miami for 4 adults and 3 teens (2 girls and 1 boy). Our flight doesn't leave until 5pm. We will need somewhere to store our luggage. The teenage girls love to shop. We all like to try fun interesting restaurants. Maybe a day-room hotel close to shopping, beach, restaurants? Any suggestions are appreciated. I should mention that this will be on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and will need to head to airport earlier than normal.

I would take two cabs to MIA ($27+tip for each taxi), pay to store my bags there, and then ride the Airport Flyer Bus (about $2.65 each) to South Beach - shopping, dining, people watching, etc. Bus back to MIA in time to catch your flight.
