Thread: Suggestions for Miami before embarking

We will be arriving in Miami around 8:00 a.m. Any suggestions as to what to do before we embark? Is there a hotel near the docks that we could hang out at and have breakfast or someplace to relax after flying all night? We don't want to get too comfortable and miss our ship. That would be terrible. It would be nice if the hotel had a shuttle service that would pick us up at the airport. Any suggestions?

There's the InterContinental Hotel near the Port in downtown Miami. Link to website:

The Mariott Biscayne Bay

Bayside MarketPlace is a nice place to shop and eat, but does not open til 10 am M-Sat, and 11am on Sun.

The Holiday Inn on Biscayne Blvd is directly across from Bayside Marketplace, and very near the Port.

One time we just had breakfast at the airport and headed for the ship about 10:30.
