Overview There were two families in our group. Both with kids between 19-22. Parents in mid 40's. We decided on this cruise since all parents and kids were available. If our schedules permitted we would have booked a March / May cruise which would have guaranteed better weather. We risked it and tired this cruise which left Miami on December 28 with stops planned for Great Stirrup Cay (GSC) and Nassau.
Miami Hotel -- Hyatt Regency
We stayed at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Miami. This Hotel was very nice. The location and lobby were very impressive. The rooms were nice too. Highly recommended if you are staying the night before. We had to take a cab from FLL and it was $80 including tip. We did hit rush hour which may have added to the fare. Also, we used the FREE metro mover (people mover) to get to Bayside which is an awesome place. There was a band playing and some great resturants to choose from. We chose Los Rancheros and really liked it.
