Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm on the verge of a 10 day vacation to the Caribbean

we had to take a big detour on a windy little road that's one lane in each direction it only ended up adding about a half hour to the drive

this was my first time flying with them and I don't think it'll be my last

when you cruise out of Florida getting there is half the fun

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay at the Holiday Inn near the Port of Miami for its location across from Bayside Marketplace
Arrive in Miami at least a day before your cruise to enjoy Bayside
Leave extra room in your suitcase for souvenirs from Bayside
Use the CVS Pharmacy near the Holiday Inn to buy items too heavy for the plane

YouTube Video Description

Getting from our home in California to a cruise ship in Florida is all part of the fun of being on vacation. We had to detour around the mudslides in Santa Barbara, but it didn't slow us down much. And when we finally boarded our flight at Los Angeles International Airport, the best part of the trip was flying first class in JetBlue Mint. In this video, I'll also fill you in on the best hotel to stay at if you're going on a cruise from the port of Miami. Hint: It's right across the street from the Bayside Marketplace. I'll show you a good place to get casual food near the cruise port, too. This video ends with us boarding the newest cruise ship based in Miami... the MSC Seaside. There will be several other videos, coming soon, about the cruise itself. Basically, this is a travel vlog about getting to the world's greatest cruising port... and serves as a reminder that getting there is half the fun. (At least if you fly first class) Most of this video was shot with a GoPro Hero 6 mounted on a FeiyuTech G5 gimbal.
