YouTube Video Description

We’re in Miami! Join us as we go through our two days Miami before our cruise on Icon of the Seas. In this video we discuss everything we did to make the most of our time in this vibrant city before boarding the ship. We arrived 2 days before our cruise and we set out to explore the best of Miami Beach since it was our first visit! From trying authentic Cuban sandwiches, Publix subs, Hell’s Kitchen and other food, this trip became a foodie adventure due to all the bad weather we had. We strolled through the historic Art Deco District in South Beach, soaked in the colorful architecture, and even caught the breathtaking sight of cruise ships sailing out of the bustling Port of Miami—the world’s busiest cruise port! In this video, we also give an honest review of the hotel we stayed at right on the famous Ocean Drive. It’s highly rated online, but did it meet our expectations? Watch to see if this hotel is worth booking for your pre-cruise stay! #Royalcaribbean #Iconoftheseas #HotelOcean #Cruise #CruiseShip #CruiseVacation #RoyalCaribbeanCruise #Cruiseports #portofmiami #allureoftheseas #travel #vacation #royalcaribbeancruises #royalcaribbeancruisevlog If you like this video, make sure you click "Like" and Subscribe for more!
