johnjrval424 Posted January 26, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2006 We are sailing out of Miami on 4/23 and were wondering if anyone has stayed at any of the hotels nearby (we are flying down the day before) and which ones provide transportation to and from the airport/port. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentS Posted January 26, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Your info on the South Florida hotels is more than a little off... VERY OUT OF DATE! Many many things have changed since that was compiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjrval424 Posted January 26, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'm not sure about the references to San Francisco and Houston? I'm looking for information about the hotels in Miami around the port or airport area. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do those not belong, but the Fort Lauderdale hotels mentioned do not have transfers to the Port of MIAMI, OR MIA, and in fact one of those no longer exists, and some of the others have eliminated their shuttles!

johnjrval424 Posted January 27, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted January 27, 2006 THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D After much research (actually hours) and reading review after review, I decided to try my luck at Priceline. WELL - I was able to get the Sofitel Miami for $85/night! Expedia and Hotels.com showed this same hotel for $224/night. I am thrilled!!!!!! Trent - I hope you aren't going to tell me that this place is not worth it! The other 2 couples we are traveling with are sooooooo excited! Please, give me your opinion on this deal - I hope I got a good one! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted January 27, 2006 #7 Share Posted January 27, 2006 No, you did GREAT!!! :) You got an excellent price, especially for the time of year you're coming, and the Sofitel MIA is a VERY nice hotel... In fact someone just posted a review of it this morning with a link to some pictures even... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=286317 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjrval424 Posted January 27, 2006 Author #8 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Thanks, Trent! Your opinion is highly regarded here and I appreciate your help. I was so excited about getting such a good price that I told my friends we should consider arriving before the scheduled 5:00 pm - in other words, change our flight - but I'm not sure about what's around there and whether it would be worth the hassle. What do you think? Whew - glad that's over! Now we can just sit back and relax while we wait for our cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted January 27, 2006 #9 Share Posted January 27, 2006 There isn't a whole lot to do right around the Sofitel, but you can certainly take a cab over to South Beach... That's a LOT of fun, and a great place to spend an evening. There are many many wonderful restaurants/sidewalk cafes, shops, clubs, and some of the best people watching on the planet! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine101 Posted March 29, 2006 #10 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Trent, just to ask a quick question on your last post....how far is South Beach from the Sofitel by cab and the cost? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
