I have hold on the Radisson in Miami for our cruise on the Liberty of the Seas in Aug 07.

They have a package for 169.00 for breakfast and shuttle to Pier.

How is this hotel ?

One thing are going for pre cruise? Also if you can see the port? I have heard that they are doing a lot of building down there....

 

Thanks so much........

Yes we are going pre-cruise. I'll let you know how the view of the port is and what the construction situation is. We return from the cruise on the 27th. I'll post shortly after that with my review.

Eagels340,

We just returned from our cruise and stay at the radisson. I was very pleased with the hotel. I can't figure out why there are so many bad reviews. They gave us a corner room on the twelve floor right near the elevators. We had a great view of the port. It was great to wake up and see your ship there. The hotel was very quite. There was construction all over downtown miami but I didn't think it was too bad near the radisson. We never heard any noise from the room.

 

There is a checkers and Burger King right across the street if you want something cheap and fast to eat. The hotel isn't within walking distance to the bayside marketplace but there are plenty of options to get there. You can walk one block and take the free metromover. The hotel offers a shuttle for $2 per person to take you there or you can take a cab for around $6-7 dollars. We took the metromover and felt safe on it. I don't think I would take it after dark. On the way back to the hotel there was a guy preaching loudly to everyone but I have seen that in all big cities.

 

Overall we were very pleased with the hotel. The only thing that I found strange was that they advertized having sleep beds and our room did not. Our bed was however comfortable. I just found it strange that everything in the room and even our room key holder talked about the sleep beds. I think their restaurant is pricy and the drinks at the bar were a little high but not outrageous. The bellman and concierge downstairs where you enter were very helpful. If you need any info on how to get somewhere they were great. Unless your breakfast is included in your cruise package I would go to bayside for breakfast or burger king. Bayside had several restaurants serving breakfast along the water for some good prices if you look around. I noticed on having a standard 2 egg breakfast with bacon etc for $4.95. The pool area looked nice also. Again I felt safe there and it was quite and clean.

 

If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.

We stayed there two years ago and thought the hotel was fine. Breakfast buffet was a bit pricey.

 

We got this hotel two years ago on Priceline at $40 for the night.

The cruise was great. The weather was a little chilly but it was much better than being too hot. We had a great weekend get away for our anniversary plus some much needed relaxation. We left the hotel around 11:30 to go to the pier and we never waited in any lines. Just went through security and got our keys etc. than onto the ship we went. Getting off the ship and all flights went very smoothly.
