Creator's Key Takeaways

This trip we have an interior room. We are in room 9365. It's been a while since we've had an interior room, but this is not too bad.

Port of Miami is by far my favorite US port. Check out this amazing skyline. This view never gets old.

Guys, the pig and anchor is one of the favorite places to hang out. I think we will be visiting this area often.

Folks, for the next 8 days, you have no work. You have no school. You got no responsibilities at all.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book reservations for the steakhouse early because they fill up fast.
βœ“Get your guys burgers and buffet calories out of the way before hitting the sports square workout area.

Interior room claustrophobia β€” It's not too bad if you are used to a balcony, but it is a change.
