Cigar King Posted October 14, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2022 We just did Explorer and stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay. It was nice and I liked waking up and seeing the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsjosh Posted October 14, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I personally like the Holiday Inn by the Port as it's right across the street from Bayfront Park which has lots of restaurants and nightlife for the night before you leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j603 Posted October 16, 2022 #12 Share Posted October 16, 2022 We have stayed at the Holiday Inn Port of Miami before, as well as the Hilton Miami Downtown. Both were nice and convenient to lots. This next trip, we are forgoing the cost of convenience of Bayside and staying next to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglecat Posted October 18, 2022 #13 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I'm looking for a room as well for our January cruise. I hate to think of paying too much for a room as our flight doesn't land until 11:30 the night before. Anyone rent rooms by the hour? LOL. I'm almost at the point to just stay in the airport and Uber or Lyft to the port. Anyone know the approximate cost to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked that hotel because I also had a very late arrival for a pre cruise one night stay. That and I got it for a great rate on a cyber sale. It worked well for my specific needs. Op keep in mind when you arrive that late you need to know what options for food will be available. Also will the hotel shuttle run that late or will you need to make other arrangements for transportation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their website states that the hotel is undergoing "extensive renovations" and guests should expect noise between 9AM and 5PM. Any knowledge of how disruptive and noisy the renovations are? Mostly concerned if they would interfere with sleeping at night (even though they state the noise will be 9-5). Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lidolounger Posted October 21, 2022 #17 Share Posted October 21, 2022 InterContinental ~ just stayed there this past Aug 2 nights prior to our cruise. Beautiful hotel, walking distance to Bayside. $$$ For our upcoming cruise in Frb, we are driving and booked Aloft Miami Airport. Great reviews & price ~ only $7 per night for parking or $12 pet night extended parking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suefrankw Posted October 23, 2022 #18 Share Posted October 23, 2022 thanks for the info. We are also sailing in January and looking for a reasonable hotel with parking. Did Aloft off a shuttle to the Port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
