Creator's Key Takeaways

South Beach, with its miles of sandy beaches, historic art deco buildings, everchanging restaurant scene, and hotel prices that'll make you miss a car payment, is a popular place to stay a couple nights before or a couple nights after your cruise.

The Metro Bus number 150, which is also sort of nicknamed the airport flyer, cost $2.35.

When you sit down at a restaurant on South Beach, regardless of what you order, even if it's just one cocktail, there's going to be a gratuitity automatically added to the bill.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the Metro Bus 150 (Airport Flyer) from MIA to South Beach for $2.35.
Use the free Miami Beach Trolley to get around South Beach.
Check if your hotel offers free bicycles before booking.
Stay in the Brickell neighborhood for a more local vibe and potentially cheaper accommodations.
Take an Uber to the cruise port, but expect drivers to miss turns.
Take a yellow taxi from the port to the airport/destination after the cruise to avoid chaos.
