All cruise ships visiting Miami dock
at the Dodge Island terminals. Depending on the time of day, a
taxi will bring you there from the airport in about half an hour.
After settling into your cabin, head out on deck for a great view
of the Rickenbacker Causeway, the Biscayne Bay and Miami Beach. Photo © 2008 Bart de Boer |

A blast of the ship's horn and there
