Creator's Key Takeaways

This was our first time boarding a ship at the Miami port. So, everything was new to us.

I was pretty impressed with check-in overall. It was quick, it was straightforward, and it was simple and not busy for once.

It was so fast. Literally took us less than 5 to 7 minutes.

Sailing out of Miami was quite beautiful, especially as we went past the Miami Beach area.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Come in at least a day or two in advance if cruising out of Miami.
If you're taking a cruise, come at least one day before to avoid travel issues.
Head to deck 11 at the front of the ship for quiet views during sailaway.
