Are you looking for the perfect pre-cruise hotel in Miami? In today's video, The Walking Cruiser takes you inside the Intercontinental Miami. Located right in Downtown on the Bayfront, this hotel promises luxury, convenience, and—most importantly for us cruisers—incredible views of Port Miami. I needed a spot for two nights before boarding the Wonder of the Seas, and the Intercontinental seemed to check all the boxes. Join me for a full hotel tour, including the lobby, the pool deck, dining options like Toro Toro, and an honest review of the Bay View King Room. Is the upgrade to the Bay View worth it? Can you really spot your cruise ship from your bed? Watch to find out! In this video, we cover: Location: How close is it to Bayside Marketplace and Port Miami? Amenities: The outdoor pool, gym, and spa. Room Tour: A detailed look at the 29th-floor Bay View King room (and the one design flaw in the bathroom). Ship Spotting: Watching the cruise ships arrive at sunrise. Price & Verdict: Is it worth the money? 📸 Follow us on Instagram!: https://www.instagram.com/seetheworldwalkingcruiser/ 📸 Follow us on Tictok! https://www.tiktok.com/@walkingcruiser InterContinental Miami : https://www.icmiamihotel.com/ Key Hotel Details: 📍 Location: Downtown Miami, next to Bayfront Park. 🛏️ Room Type: Bay View King. 🚢 Cruise Line: Royal Caribbean (Wonder of the Seas).
