19 and 22 ships in Miami port for holiday travel

[yellowbird23]

On the way back from our trip this past weekend, the bus driver informed us that they have 19 ships on the docket for the weekend starting before Christmas and 22 ships on the docket for New Year's Eve weekend. That blows my mind!

It sure would be fun sitting on the jetty at South Beach watching all the ships go by. Smith & Wolensky's is a fun spot to watch from too while sipping a cocktail between 4 and 6. We are heading to Florida in 41 days (and counting). Can't wait to get out of the cold.

We will be on one of those ships, but wish it wasn't in Miami. The original itinerary was Key West. Darn!

 

Gotta go pack!

They must be going to "raft" the boats off one another because there is not that many berths there....I know they do sometimes berth ships behind the RCI building on the south side of Dodge Island

Although there actually will be 16 ships in Miami port over the Xmas weekend, the maximum in port on any one day will be 5.

 

The biggest day in port will be on January 2nd, when there will be 6 ships in port:

 

Carnival Victory

Fascination

Imagination

Brilliance Of The Seas

Explorer Of The Seas

Majesty Of The Seas

Radiance Of The Seas

It could be fun!!!

That is a total for the 4 days, Friday through Monday. There are enough berths at the port to support that.
