Hello everyone!
My GF and I just returned from our first ever 1 week Carnival cruise to Eastern Caribbean on the Liberty ? and I wish I could stay in the Caribbean forever...Oh well... ?
We're from Vancouver, Canada and we decided to fly into Miami the night before the cruise just to avoid the hassle and stress of landing on the day off. For those who have never cruise before like ourselves, we highly recommend doing this. You will not just avoid the airline stress and worrying about any delays, but you also get to enjoy the wonderful night life of Miami's South Beach. We booked a room at the Kent Hotel (www.thekenthotel.com) which was conveniently located on Collins Ave, one block from the Beach and only a $20 taxi ride to the port. We only paid $150 which was pretty cheap, but the hotel is not that nice, more for the college kids partying during Spring break. But Miami was so much fun...the food, music ... ?
