Cruise Ports
Here are all the ports that we have been to and things that we found to do around the ports.
Our journey began at this port, where we embarked on our very first cruise. We always arrive a few days early, and for the first few years, we stayed at the Holiday Inn Port of Miami downtown. This hotel stands out for several reasons, its prime location near the port, a shopping center just across the street, and its affiliation with the IHG group, which we trust for our accommodations. In 2025 we are getting an Airbnb. We have a good group of friends that wanted to join and hang out before the cruise.
In 2014 & 2015 we cruised on the Norwegian Pearl.
In 2024 & 2025 we cruised on the Carnival Magic.
When we found out that Shiprocked was going out of this port we were excited!
