And so it begins….First Royal Caribbean cruise down, so many more to go! I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous the entire month before our cruise. I was so afraid I’d be sick the entire time. Thanks to motion sickness patches, I made it through. Our first night we pretty much played everything by ear.
We flew into FLL ( Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport) the day before our cruise on May 29th (highly advise flying in the day before if you can) then took an Uber 40 min. to our hotel in Miami. That cost us about $86.
Here is a Expedia link for the hotel we stayed in!
Courtyard Marriott Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port (About 3 miles from port)

NEED TO GET TESTED?
We waited until we got to Miami and tested at the cruise port. We arrived 2 hours before our check in time and was able to get tested quickly. Our results were emailed within 30 minutes.
Pre-Register for an Antigen test here: This is done right at the cruise port
