Twiz Posted November 3, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I need information on where to stay pre-cruise in the Miami area? The Port of Miami Holiday Inn is booked for the days we need. I would like to stay near the port and in walking distance to some things to see/do if possible. What is there to see/do suggestions please??:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelo7 Posted November 3, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2011 The Intercontinental has views of the Port of Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcuchio24 Posted November 3, 2011 #3 Share Posted November 3, 2011 The Intercontinental has views of the Port of Miami. 2nd for IC. Often the price isn't much more than the HOLEaday in Bayside either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare marshalltp Posted November 3, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2011 The IC is very nice, but is pricey depending on your time of travel. It can sometimes be had a discounted rate on LMT. I just booked the Tempo for the end of March for less than $200....so that is a great deal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg74 Posted November 3, 2011 #5 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Can I ask what site LMT is? I may want to book one of the hotels mentioned as well. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywench Posted November 3, 2011 #6 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Another vote for the Intercontinental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNelson486 Posted November 3, 2011 #7 Share Posted November 3, 2011 last minute travel dot com I booked the intercontinental for $115 per night on that sight. You have to look for an unnamed hotel -- that has an ugly sculpture in the photos. You can also match up the number of rooms in the hotel to make sure you have the intercontinental.

Lacaena Posted November 3, 2011 #8 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I would also vote for the InterContinental, we are sailing on the Liberty in 2 weeks and are staying there the night before. It is nice because it is within walking distance of Bayside Marketplace which is always a fun place to get a meal and do some shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked it for $98 in september, really depends on the time of year, obviously. Spring for the exta $20 to get a high up port view room. Great pool. Booked thru LMT and had no issued with checking in, payment, etc. Bellhop will get you a cab to the port, about $8-$11 depending on traffic. Easy walk to bayside. Eat/park somewhere else, as their food/parking rates are quite high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNelson486 Posted November 3, 2011 #10 Share Posted November 3, 2011 We are on the Liberty with you and at the IC! I am sure looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banks822 Posted November 3, 2011 #11 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I am also having a hard time finding a hotel for the night before our cruise. We are going Easter weekend and will be driving in from NC. We want something that offers a park and cruise package. Everywhere I have called is booked up or very expensive!

46 cruiser Posted February 12, 2013 #16 Share Posted February 12, 2013 We stayed at the Sofitel and it s a very very nice Hotel. We got it for 95.00 on Labor Day weekend, also stayed at IC and it truly is 5 star. And having Bayside to walk to from IC is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
