Eclipse, Jan 5-10
Pre Cruise:
As we live in a cold climate, 1000+ miles from the Port of Miami, we schedule a couple days travel buffer to allow for potential storms which can easily cause a full day travel delay. As no serious travel delays occurred and we ended up having a couple days to begin the relaxation process - perfect! We stayed at a modest hotel (The Croydon) in "Mid-Beach" - about a mile walk from the famous South Beach. Nothing beats starting a vacation out in the sunshine with a big breakfast involving eggs, steak and very good Bloody Mary's. Much of the rest of the time was spent walking, people watching, sunning and more enjoyable dining and sipping. We were in full vacation mode by embarkation time.
Spotless and well appointed cabin not too far from the elevators. Quiet. Loads of storage.
Love Miami Beach!
Had an enjoyable walk in the sun.
