telnshell Posted August 15, 2017 #101 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Thanks to Whitshel for the review its very helpful and fun to follow, and thanks to everyone who has replied to my questions. You all sound like you have a wealth of knowledge between you so one more question if you don't mind. Upon return to Miami we will have quite a few hours to kill as our flight back to the UK isn't until 6.35pm. Would it be worth us booking a ship excursion to pass time or would we be able to find something to do ourselves? The only problem is we will have all our luggage :-( Any ideas/recommendations welcome :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telnshell Posted August 15, 2017 #102 Share Posted August 15, 2017 If you take the metro mover in Miami there is a stop for Bayside and there are many restaurants at Bayside Marketplace and a CVS across the street) a longer ride is Brickell and there is a Publix right there. There is a taco place right near that stop that looked AMAZING that we never got to try! Does the metromover stop close to the hotel? If so which stop would we board at? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare whitshel Posted August 15, 2017 Author #109 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I had the lobster bisque, scallop something, the lobster, and a strawberry crepe. My wife had the lobster and both dessert soufles. Then we watched the glass show which is awesome! Gotta keep it short, using my 90 free minutes but I will have service in Mexico for tomorrow and Thursday.

We haven't done Caribbean cruise in at least 20 years, but have been on Equinox for Europe sailings. We love the Solstice class ships. I month from today, fun in the sun !

The only problem is we will have all our luggage :-( Any ideas/recommendations welcome :-) I think most excursions would still drop you at the airport too early. I would check into renting a car they have shuttles that would pick you up at the port then you could drop the car at the airport. You could then do your own sight seeing, beach. lunch etc. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayneykul Posted August 15, 2017 #114 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Telnshell, our flight back to the UK is not till 9pm, we looked at the ship excursions ( we did the Everglades 1 last time from FLL it was really good) and they still left us with a lot of time so we have booked the Pullman hotel for the day which has easy access to the Dolphin mall Enjoying the review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maven3 Posted August 15, 2017 #115 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I am loving your posts, thanks for sharing your vacation with us! We are sailing on the Equinox in October for a 10 day southern Caribbean itinerary. If you have a chance, will you please post a photo of the beverage menu from the Gastro Bar? My DH would like to know what beers they have available. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musik07 Posted August 15, 2017 #116 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Does the metromover stop close to the hotel? If so which stop would we board at? :) Not quite sure we only went from Brickell to Bayside! However you can use this website to find a map and it lists each station and what places of interest are near the stop! http://www.miamidade.gov/transit/metromover-stations.asp#2 When we were actually in Miami I just googled MetroMover on my iPhone and there was a page that came up that told me how many minutes the next metro mover would be that was iPhone friendly as well!

Florida will pay minimum wage to qualified snake hunters to kill pythons. Have an adventure and make minimum wage! What more could you want for a day?
