zteamtwo Posted August 16, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Sailing on Vista on Jan 19-31. Leaves from MIA. Any recommendations for hotels that have an airport shuttle and a shuttle to take you to the port on sail day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted August 16, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I would not stay at the airport are much nicer to stay downtown unless you are arriving late at night then the airport hotels would be fine Depends on your budget We like the Hampton Inn Brickell but no airport shuttle They did have a shuttle to the port for a fee but a taxi or Uber works out about the same Check the Florida departures forum many options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHLH821 Posted August 16, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Check out EB Miami https://www.ebhotels.com/miami/about Close to the airport, has AAA, AARP and Cruise Package rates. The cruise package includes breakfast for 2, shuttle to and from Miami Airport and shuttle to Miami port. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuevowavo Posted August 17, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Right downtown, near Bayfront and Miami Beach. No free Port shuttle, but a $10-15 taxi or Uber ride: https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/florida/hyatt-regency-miami/miarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YoPhilly Posted August 17, 2023 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Check deals on Hotwire. We got a great deal at the Intercontinental. Fabulous view of the port and just a $10 cab ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabulous view of the port and just a $10 cab ride. I got one of those at the Intercontinental quite a few years ago on either Hotwire or Priceline. Seems like it was under $150. It's a great property. I do find that I don't see as good of deals on those websites as much anymore. Of course part of that is that we get free rooms from Marriott and Hilton most of the time with the credit card plan. We have 3 Marriott cards that have a yearly fee of $99 each, each year there is a free night with each one up to 35k points. In January we had a free room at the Hilton Bentley at South Beach, $500 or more a night, and then a free night at the Gabriel Downtown Miami, right across the street from the port, this past March. Woke up and stepped out on the balcony and the Riviera was there waiting for us. All that to say maybe the reasons I don't see good deals on Priceline or Hotwire much anymore is that I don't use them as much as I used to. Like the saying goes, free beats wholesale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not inexpensive but still seemed like a good deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
