We have discovered that late April, early May is the best time to cruise! Each year we choose a Carnival cruise, and this was our second trip on the Valor. We have yet to be disappointed.

Arriving in Miami a day early works best for us. After meeting up with friends at the airport we took a cab to the hotel. We stayed at the Holiday Inn at Bayside again. This is a very convenient place to stay and helps us get into that "Cruisin state of mind". When you check in ask for a port view room! Dinner was at the Cuban American Cafe at Bayside. It was not bad, but we have had better Cuban food at Bongos. The price was right though. My DH and I took a tour of the bay and Star Island. This was a fun way to spend some time, and got us out on the water which is what we love!

After a nice breakfast at the hotel the four of us took a cab to the port around 11:00 a.m. This turned out to be a good idea. We were onboard the ship by 11:30! This is the earliest that I have been able to board on any of the 8 cruises I have sailed on.
