Travel

Flights
We recommend that you fly into Miami International Airport on Sunday, Nov. 6th, the day before the cruise departs. (You can use the Ft. Lauderdale airport, but you must factor in additional travel time to get to Miami.)

  • If you choose to arrive on the day that that cruise departs, your incoming flight to Miami International Airport must arrive no later than 12:00 pm on Monday, November 7th in order to make your transfer from the airport to the seaport (Port of Miami). 

  • Your return flight from Miami International Airport must depart no earlier than 1:00 pm on Friday, November 11th in order to make your transfer from the seaport (Port of Miami) to the airport.

Decent restaurants, including waterfront dining at the attached marina.
