Getting To The World's Biggest Cruise Ship - But Miami Had Other Plans
Miami PortRoyal Caribbean Cruise LineMontréal PortCelebrity Beyond Cruise ShipIcon of the Seas Cruise Ship
Our Icon of the Seas adventure starts with a flight to Miami, a beach day that turns into a downpour, and another frustrating journey through PortMiami traffic! Join Kris and Melanie for Episode 1 of our Icon of the Seas cruise vlog series. We’re flying from Newfoundland through Montreal to Miami before our Royal Caribbean cruise, with a full day to enjoy Miami Beach. Our plan? Check into the AC Hotel Miami Beach, relax by the ocean, and ease into vacation mode. Miami’s weather has other ideas. 🌧️😂 Come along as we get absolutely soaked, take a look around our hotel room and rooftop pool, return to the beach, and catch the sunrise on cruise morning. Then we head toward Icon of the Seas—and discover whether leaving early makes getting through PortMiami any easier. This episode takes us right to the Royal Caribbean terminal curb. Next time, we step aboard Icon for one of our best embarkation days ever! 🚢 This is the start of a two-cruise adventure: Icon of the Seas as a couple, followed by Celebrity Beyond with family.
