We used a transport company to go from our hotel in Fort Lauderdale to the Miami cruise port and again to travel from Miami back to the Fort Lauderdale airport. The travel flowed well and getting on/off the ship went quickly. Read Less

Hop on hop off bus tour Read Less

it was necessary to navigate Miami in order to go on the Horizon! The port was congested, busy, crowded, and when debarkation ran late, you had people arriving at the boat overlapping with those trying to exit the boat and it was just a horror. Our debarkation apparently was an anomaly in how late it ran, but if I could do the same cruise from Canaveral in Florida and not venture into Miami, that would be better. Read Less

Boarding was a pleasure. Read Less

We stayed in Miami prior to cruise. Didn't do specified excursions. Ppl honked more than I've ever heard in traffic. Not too welcoming Read Less

Who doesn't love Miami! We rented a car and drove around to the beach, rich neighborhoods, and got ice cream at Jaxon's. Read Less

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Port of Miami – Downtown. Very nicely sized room with views of the Bay. We booked a stay and sail package that included breakfast in the morning (very nice buffet) and a shuttle ride to the ship. If you don't book the package, you can still sign up for the shuttle. I think it was $6/person. Location is good with plenty of restaurants near-by including an outdoor mall/market right across the street that had a ton of bars and restaurants. We had a drink there, then headed back about a block from our hotel to CVI.CHE 105, a Peruvian restaurant. Highly recommend. Read Less

The airport is confusing. Read Less

Windy....watch out for low hanging trees. Fun excursion. Read Less

Get on the duckboats and see the pretty seaside areas Read Less

Our private guide was great. Read Less

Stayed at the Intercontinental Miami. Very nice hotel. Much better than the Holiday Inn and not much more expensive. Very convenient to port. Close to the Bayside Marketplace with numerous restaurants and shops. Read Less

We arrived a little later than 3 pm which was the last check-in, but we called them on our way and the accepted our late arrival (stille before 5 pm when the boat was scheduled to leave). Read Less

Didn't take too long to get on the ship. We took a Lyft over to the port, checked our bags, and were probably on the ship within 1 hour. Disembarkation was even better, where we met up at 8:40am, and were off the ship with our luggage at 9:30am. Read Less

The Royal Caribbean curbside pickup zone and traffic was crazy congested after leaving the ship on the last day. Read Less

Didn't really explore Miami through the boat. We came in day before stayed at a hotel near by and had a nice dinner. Next morning headed over to the boat. Read Less

We stayed at their Marriot Biscayne Bay the day before our cruise. Great location, very nice hotel. Would definitely stay there again. Read Less

We just stayed one night the day before the cruise, but didn't have time to do any sightseeing. Read Less

Embarkation in Miami was smooth. My shoreside agent was training, so it was not the fastest interaction, but once he completed my checkin I walked onboard the ship without any wait time. Read Less

Disembarkation was a hot mess... Read Less

Terminal A, the new RCI parking garage and terminal, are great! It sucks returning to another terminal and having to wait for an overpacked bus or pay for a cab to get you back to Terminal A, though. Read Less

We had to wait over 2 hours for the wheelchair staff to come help us get on the ship. Very irritating......... Read Less

We did explore on our own by using Uber as our means of transportation Read Less

As first time cruisers would have been nice to have more instructions once onboard. Read Less

Didn’t do anything on this port. Read Less
