Creator's Key Takeaways

We recently sailed out of the brand new MSSE terminal and it is spectacular.

It is really, really beautiful. It is massive.

This is a really beautiful area and it is uh lead gold certified.

We did book this for around $230 for the night, which is very reasonable for a very nice hotel.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use designated ride-share areas at terminals to avoid issues with staff.
Arrive later in the day to avoid traffic from disembarking passengers.
Cross the street near port offices to call an Uber or Lyft outside the port area.
Book hotels in advance and look for deals through a travel agent.
Visit South Point Park to watch cruise ships depart the day before your cruise.
