tbmrt Posted March 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Since we have to drop our dog off at petsitter and cannot do so until 10:30 AM if we drive straight to Miami the day before our cruise that will put us there about 3:30 on a Thursday. Dread Miami traffic. Should we plan on getting there at 3:30 or leaving Tampa/arriving Miami later? Thinking of staying in a park/cruise hotel but taking Uber instead of free shuttle. I've read that the LaQuinta Inn Miami Airport East is OK. Has anyone done that? Other suggestions appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted March 27, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2023 LQ East is somewhat isolated, but since you will have a car you are not limited to delivery pizza. Hampton Inn Blue Lagoon gets better reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrhdhd Posted March 28, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 28, 2023 You'll have to deal with Miami traffic anyway, so just get there when you get there. 🤷 Agree with above that HIBL is better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rothko1 Posted March 28, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2023 If you're getting into Miami around 3:30, the traffic shouldn't be too bad. The rush hour out of Miami won't have started yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymia Posted March 30, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 30, 2023 3:30 won't be that bad, especially heading into Miami. Most of the traffic in the afternoon is heading away from Downtown/Brickell. I would not over think this. Even if you do get traffic so what, a 20-min delay? As for where to stay. Up to you. You could park at the port and enjoy staying in Downtown/Brickell area instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BoozinCroozin Posted March 31, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Since you have zero control of traffic, just grin and bear it. Miami traffic will be what it will be. 3:30PM won't be as bad as 4:30-6PM. Just go with it and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
