Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm sailing out of port Miami but the flight to Fort Lauderdale was much better so that's where I'm heading

I have Platinum Elite status and it's really not that bad so Frontier haters keep on hating

I am about to board a carnival cruise ship so I consider it a preview for the weekend to come

Creator's Tips & Advice

Fly into Fort Lauderdale instead of Miami for better flight options
Consider Frontier Airlines for budget-friendly flights if you have status
