I flew into Miami for a cruise and tried to save a few bucks on the pre-cruise hotel. Huge mistake. This might be the worst hotel room I've stayed in in 40 years — and then I found the complete opposite. From GRUESOME to GREAT: the Clarion Inn by Miami Airport vs. CitizenM Brickell. If you're cruising out of PortMiami (or anywhere), where you stay the night before matters more than you think. Here's the cautionary tale — and the save. 🚢 Website (cruise tips, hotel guides & gear we use): https://www.stillafloatcruising.com ▶ Big thanks to Pier Runners for the CitizenM Brickell tip — check out their channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Pier_Runners ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 The worst room in 40 years 0:20 Flying into Miami 0:30 Inside the Clarion (it gets bad) 3:40 The save: CitizenM Brickell 5:10 The pre-cruise takeaway 👍 If this saved you from a bad night before your cruise, hit LIKE and SUBSCRIBE — we post hotel reviews and cruise tips to help you Cruise Smarter. #PreCruiseHotel #MiamiCruise #CruiseTips #HotelReview #StillAfloat #CitizenM #Cruising #PortMiami
