Creator's Key Takeaways

I have to admit, I'm really not excited about getting to the Port of Miami tomorrow.

When we were in Miami in December, just 3 weeks ago, our Carnival Celebration embarkation process was horrible.

Now, a bus caught on fire and I highly doubt another bus is going to catch on fire tomorrow, but there are nine ships in port and a marathon.

We're staying outside of Miami cuz it beats driving the whole way and saves a ton of money.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay outside of Miami to save money and make embarkation day easier.
Plan for potential traffic due to multiple ships in port and local events.

YouTube Video Description

Checked into our hotel halfway between home and Miami before our cruise tomorrow on Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady 🚢 Driving all the way from NE Florida to Miami after work isn’t worth the stress — or the hotel prices. Staying outside the city saves a ton of money and makes embarkation day way easier. Still… Miami traffic gives me flashbacks. Three weeks ago we sat in traffic for three hours because a bus caught on fire 😬 Cruising smart starts before you ever reach the port.
