Early check in Post Cruise Hotels?

[mslaabs]

We would like to spend the night in Miami after our cruise (better airfare for flying out next day). However, our concern is that most hotels have a 3:00pm check in. What do we do with our luggage all day if we get off the ship by 10:00am? Does anyone know of a hotel in the port area that allows you to check in around 10-11am?

Most better hotels will check your luggage until check in. You can see the bell captain, leave your luggage and go off and explore! Enjoy!

Virtually all hotels have a "check-in" time of 3pm or so... HOWEVER if they have rooms ready earlier you can get one. I've never had a problem getting a room in the morning hours. Simply request early check-in, and yes, any decent hotel will hold your bags if they don't have a room ready when you get there, then put them in the room when it is ready.

Thanks for the info.
