scotslizzy Posted December 21, 2007 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hi Will be arriving into Miami hopefully around 6 p m and wonder if there are any nice bars or restaurants around the Intercontinental West in Miami . Do not want to just sit around the hotel all evening as we do not get picked up until around 12 the next day to go to FL for embarkation. Have done this type of cruise before but unfortunatley our flight was delayed and we did not get to the hotel until 2 am .Hoping it will be better this time. Any suggestions?

britsbest Posted December 21, 2007 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2007 We were there a cple of years ago and its pretty remote. There's a few shops over the road which is really busy so I advise walking to the lights and I saw a couple of chain type restaurants in the vicinity. There'll be others there so start making new friends is my advice! Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellan Vannin Posted December 21, 2007 #3 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Stayed there twice so far and a third to come Not a lot in the immediate vicinity, a strip mall is situated across the street along with Wendy's and a couple of petrol stations. A reasonable McDonalds is also across another road and we use this for breakfast rather than the hotel. There are plenty of restaurants a short taxi ride away. We have used Chilis which in the UK I would walk to but use a taxi there($7 each way) because we like the chain . Have a look for restaurants etc on Google earth or maps live. There is also the dreaded Dolphin Mall fairly close by but as you will probably be dumped there on the way back you might not want to go there.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floflegs Posted December 21, 2007 #4 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Not much areound but don't eat breakfast in the hotel as it's a rip of and not that great. There is a diner across the road that is cheap and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancyquilts Posted December 22, 2007 #5 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Have you tried the threads for Homeport Departures - East Coast? There might be a lot of info there. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Rays Posted December 22, 2007 #6 Share Posted December 22, 2007 It's really in 'no mans land'!! We stayed there once, second time we asked for a different hotel (on South Beach) - and were lucky, no extra charge was made. We were told we had to do our own tranfers but when we got to MIA from the UK we had a Greyhound coach to ourselves!!! Brilliant. Sometimes when Princess get it wrong and the left hand doesn't always know what right hand is doing, it CAN work out to the clients advantage!! Deep joy lol................
