Creator's Key Takeaways

It is 3:00 in the morning, and there's only one thing in the world we would get up at 3:00 in the morning for, that's to go on another cruise.

We're going to head out into the snow. There's way too much of it here where we live already. Show you a little shot here out our back door. And we're getting away from this.

We are getting on for 11 days going to the Caribbean. So, we're going to get away from the snow and enjoy lots of sunshine.

Check-in was a little bit bumpy as you saw, but we made it through and we had a great dinner tonight.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book boutique hotels in South Beach for a unique experience close to attractions.

Join us for the ultimate travel day as we escape the Canadian snow at 3 AM to make our way to sunny Miami Beach! This pre-cruise adventure takes us through Minneapolis (with a heart-pounding sprint through the airport!), to the trendy Tony Hotel in South Beach, where rooftop margaritas and ocean views await. We'll show you our boutique hotel experience, take you to dinner at El Patio with fellow cruise friends, and stroll down the famous Ocean Drive. It's our first-ever Azamara cruise, and we're starting this 11-day Caribbean adventure in style! From -10°C snow to palm trees and Cuban sandwiches in one day - this is why we love cruise travel! ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 0:00 - 3 AM Canadian Snow Departure 0:45 - Airport Arrival (No Lines!) 1:50 - Flight Aware Plane Tracking Tip 2:55 - Minneapolis Sprint Drama! 3:40 - Made It!
