We arrived in Miami Beach with family and friends (17 of us total!), checked into the hotel, and headed straight out to Little Havana for dinner, live music, and good vibes on a stormy Miami night. The next day, we: - Talk about Miami parking tips (ParkMobile, street parking & van costs) - Head to the Everglades (Gator Park) for an airboat ride 🐊 - Learn cool facts about alligators vs crocodiles - Walk the park, see gators up close, and let the kids explore Later, we: - Take a Miami sightseeing / bay cruise with views of the skyline and Star Island mansions - Have dinner at Ceviche 105 (a favorite spot from a past Miami trip) - Celebrate our anniversary with friends - On the final day, we drive to Hollywood Beach boardwalk, rent chairs and an umbrella, let the kids play in the waves and fountains, and enjoy a relaxing beach day before cruise day finally arrives. Then it’s time to: - Load up the van with way too many bags 😅 - Head to the Port of Miami - Check in for the Carnival Celebration, see the drug-sniffing dog, and grab those classic embarkation photos If you’re flying into Miami a few days before your cruise, this video gives you simple, family-friendly ideas for what to do: Little Havana, Everglades airboat tour, a bay cruise, Hollywood Beach, and pool time at the hotel. 👍 Like & Subscribe for more family cruise and pre-cruise planning videos!
