Quick introduction - I work in business and travel (40) and my partner(33) also loves to travel. We've been on many cruiselines but we always come back to the service of Celebrity. This was his parent's first cruise and we brought along his grandmother who is 84 years old!

For this cruise we actually flew into Fort Lauderdale since flights from Toronto Canada were a bit cheaper than Miami.  Transportation from Fort Lauderdale to Miami is very easy to arrange and we had a private driver pick us up and take us to our rented condo in Miami.  There were 5 adults travelling and the cost was around $125 total plus gratuity.  We flew two days before our cruise which is something we always recommend - primarily because flight delays and weather are always a factor and you never want to miss your cruise!  We also needed to escape a cold and bitter Canadian winter so this was a great way to start off our vacation.

We took an UBER to the terminal for 10:30am... the drive from our condo to the Port of Miami was literally 5 minutes and the view is just spectacular. Read more
