Miami question??

[Warrior64]

We will be on the Vista in April. Our flight going home after our cruise leaves at 7:20PM, so I would like to be at airport around 5:00PM. Any suggestions on what we can do in Miami during the day?? Hate to just sit in airport for that long!!

This question is asked every week sometimes two or three times a week, so if you will just look down the board, go to page 2 and 3 you will see it all.

Flight home from MIA or FLL? :confused:

[Warrior64]

We are flying from Miami. I looked through past pages and didn't see anything.

You have options:

1. Rent a car, put the bags in the trunk, and go where you want.

2. Taxi to MIA for $27 (or Uber for under $20), pay to store your bags there, and then ride the Airport Flyer bus for about $3 each to explore Miami/South Beach, etc. Catch the bus back to MIA in the afternoon and check in for your flight.

3. Taxi/Uber to South Beach and store your bags at the Luggage Lounge. Use the Airport Flyer bus, a taxi or Uber to get to MIA for your flight

4. There are a couple of hop-on/off bus tours that cater to cruisers -- they will store your bags and may include transport to the airport.

You would have plenty of time to rent a car and take an Everglades tour. We are there in a couple of weeks and we will be doing that (got a groupon for it) before we head up to FLL for the night.

Thanks for info! Is there a place to pick up rent a car at the port and drop off near airport??

Not at the port, but in downtown Miami, close to POM, you'll find Avis, Hertz, and others. Taxi to downtown locations, if they do not shuttle, will cost about $12
