JohninDC Posted February 21, 2021 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2021 2 nights in South Beach pre-cruise sounds great to me - great dining and nightlife options! 😎 Depending upon where your hotel is located an Uber or Lyft to the port will run about $20.

PelicanBill Posted February 22, 2021 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2021 For a very short stay before or after cruise I recommend downtown, within walking distance of Bayfront Park. For a day or two, South Beach is great. Many hotel options, and simply great fun for daytime and evenings. I stayed at the Hotel Breakwater. Small waist-deep pool but great place to relax with music from club below. Very nice rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are overwhelmed with options! we are considering South Beach - thoughts? Thanks!! Pros. Shopping, restaurants, beach, sightseeing, the Art Deco area. con. Depending on where you stay could be a bit noisy at night. other good areas close to port are Downtown with Bayside close for restaurants and some shopping and Mary Brickell just south of downtown with a bit more shopping and restaurants.

BlueHerons Posted February 24, 2021 #5 Share Posted February 24, 2021 South Beach has gone downhill so badly this past year, I would not stay there if you paid me. Not only are off duty Miami and Miami Beach helping to volunteer to police but the mayor of Miami Beach said he would not let his family go there. If you want beach, Mid Beach, South of Fifth, or Key Biscayne but just great pools and a view, Brickell or Coconut Grove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of the reasons there is still a 12 AM curfew. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted February 25, 2021 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2021 South Beach has seen the bad times and the good times. Unfortunately now it is sliding again towards the bad times. As suggested Downtown and Mary Brickell are better choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went down to Smith & Wollensky and the servers were upset about the state of South Beach. Fortunately they are South of Fifth but still.

Rare EllieinNJ Posted March 10, 2021 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2021 South Beach is still better than the airport hotels. We stayed at an inexpensive hotel on Collins and Eighth which had free transportation from the airport. It was 2017 but Uber then was $7 to the port.
