The best cocktails in Miami ( and won't cost you an arm and a leg, plus your first born) First up, the SoCal special. Reposado tequila, lime juice, with salted Cointreau foam and toasted orange. That. Looks. Fabulous. Was it as good as it looks? I need one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #102 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Update... I couldn't get any bar service at SoCal taco, so I wandered down the road to Coyo Taco... Duck tacos... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kealy Posted December 1, 2018 #105 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Tremendous bar hopping - everything drinks and apps looked amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #106 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I've decided that no matter how how much I eat or drink tonight, I just cannot be satiated... I'm walking back to the hotel, after spending upwards of $200 tonight on food and beverages... I'm still standing erect and I've just decided to try again tomorrow on the ship...

MzShae Posted December 1, 2018 #110 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I would like to try that Mediterranean margarita and the duck tacos! I didn't get a chance to really see much of Miami when I cruised from there, so I hope to next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a pass (not being injured acquiring one) what is the benefit? Super stupid and sophomoric of NCL to have passengers RUN/fight for a "pass". I would never even consider.

JMO It's an economical alternative to the Haven in order to escape the masses poolside, relax with adults in a kid free atmosphere and enjoy as many adult beverages as you would like without having to fight crowds. During happy hour from about 400-600, you also enjoy shot O'Clock. The ship within a ship concept is well and alive with the Haven on NCL and the Yacht Club on MSC. The Vibe is just a slice of what you get with Haven and YC, but well worth it, IMHO. I have experienced it on all 3 of my Escape cruises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver tequila, fresh lime, ginger puree, serrano peppers, Cointreau, and a splash of soda... Since it seems you like tequila and spice, try the Toro Toro on board at Food Republic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #118 Share Posted December 1, 2018 So, I put my phone down to charge last night for the big day today... It seems that when I turned out the lights the power to the outlet also went out, so now I'm literally carrying around a brick. My back up Droid has charge, but I can only use it with WiFi. I'm hoping that I can get enough charge in the next hour or so before I leave for the terminal. I took a little walk about this morning to get some bottled water and some breakfast...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #121 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I'm going to get in the shower now and start making my way to the port afterward. I think I'm going to take the metro mover up to Bayside and catch a cab from there. My luck with Uber in Miami isn't really that great. Last time I ended up with a driver who didn't speak a word of English, and got lost three times on the way to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #123 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Now that my phone is charged it started acting funny. Like it wouldn't stay loaded onto a page. It just cycled over and over. I ended up having to uninstall and reinstall my entire browser. Anyhoo, I was scared there for a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
