We took this cruise with 15 friends, were all from Texas and got into Miami on various days, we missed Hurricane Harvey hitting our home city by a day or so.
This was my 8th cruise, I have always cruised out of Galveston and will continue that trend especially after this trip. We also have an Alaska scheduled next year.
Stayed at the Holiday inn Downtown Miami, weather was yuk rained everyday but we made the most of it, very handy for the restaurants across the street and one night took a Lyft over to Old Havana and had dinner, was a great time. We also took a boat tour of the famous houses around the port of Miami which was on groupon for $16 fun for an hour or so.
We loved the decor of the cabin, we missed the extra closet, the Havana area is worth every penny especially out of Miami, we could get away from the rude people! the pool area was never crowded maybe 8-10 people ever and only a couple in the pool ever I could swim from edge to edge several times, bartenders were good at the Havana area too. we really enjoyed this area and we could walk downstairs to the bar and pool area two flights and up if you could, or take the elevators. no noise except Matt the cruise director!
