Family of 5 including 3 boys ages 11, 13, and 17. Our first NCL cruise -- have previously been on 2 shorter Disney cruises. Wasn't sure what to expect after reading mixed reviews but we had a great time and loved the Pearl!
Travel to Port
Flew into Miami Saturday evening and stayed at the Hyatt Place Miami Airport West/Doral. Free shuttle to the hotel from the airport. Nice hotel with a large room and free continental breakfast. The next morning we paid $12.00 per person for a shuttle to the Port. The shuttle was through a 3rd party but reserved at the hotel. They picked us up at 10:30 AM as scheduled and it was a quick trip to the port.
