Editorial Summary

A couple traveling from the Pacific Northwest explores Miami, Florida, to prepare for an upcoming cruise. They begin by describing the environmental shift to a humid climate and visiting the Bayside area, which offers various transportation options like free trolleys and double decker buses. The creators highlight Bayside as a central hub for shopping, dining, and water excursions, noting that visitors can view their cruise ships from this location. They also recommend trying local Cuban food, specifically praising a Cubano sandwich from a restaurant near the port. The journey continues to Miami Beach, where the creators experience the Art Deco district and visit the former Versace Mansion. They describe the area as well maintained with beautiful pathways to the beach. The trip includes a visit to a local brewery to sample specialty beers and an evening at a Cuban restaurant featuring live music and dancing. The creators conclude their visit by noting the ease of using rideshare services to return to their hotel at the Hilton Downtown before their cruise departure.

Creator's Key Takeaways

Miami has the biggest cruise port in the world!

Two nights gives us one full day and we make the most of it showing you what there is to do in the area.

If you're anywhere in Miami it would be a waste of your time honestly not to go to Miami Beach.

We are staying at the Hilton Downtown Miami, real close to the cruise ship terminals.

βœ“Spend two nights in Miami before your cruise to have a full day to explore.
βœ“Visit Bayside Marketplace for shops, restaurants, and water excursions.
