I’ve got it cooking and am truly thankful for y’all posting. I’m using chicken tenders as they were the least expensive option. I also have rice cooking in the rice cooker. So, I am excited to feed my husband some lunch and me a meal for when I leave for work tonight. Thanks so much. I also am planning on trying the stuffed green pepper soup, probably tomorrow.

I think picking the right beach is so important especially for new cruise passengers. Early on in my cruising life I just took a cab with my family to a public beach in Jamaica and I would never do that again. I was followed and constantly harassed and worried about whether my stuff would be stolen . In hindsight now if I wanted to go to beach in Jamaica I would just buy a day pass at a resort . But sometimes new cruisers think they're saving money when they are really kind of ruining their experience because they're not taking good advice .

Hi Sharon , been trying to watch all your videos pertaining to Miami recently, was wondering if Jamie could use his "pegman" trick to see if he could suggest a convenient store on the way to Hilton Blue Lagoon from the Miami Airport. One that we could have the taxi just stop at for a twelve pack on the way to the hotel, that wouldn't be out of the way. The one video you said there was some places walkable (like within a mile) but you said we would have to go down a long road....but that was a few years ago. Thanks for any help! We of course are going a day early to board a cruise ship, and would like to have some beers at the hotel the night before !

There is a Publix supermarket about a 20 minute walk from the Hilton Blue Lagoon hotel. Search Publix Airport Plaza. It's 4 minute drive. Uber might stop there, but sometimes they don't like to make those 10 minute stops.

Well Craig thats too bad you had that experience. But I have stayed there several times and have had friends that have stayed there and never had problems like that. But sometimes be it a hotel, restaurant, cruise, airline, etc, there is always someone that unfortunately has a bad experience. That’s just the way it goes, you get really good reviews and then there are those couple that are not good. We love it and have never had a problem, so to anyone else, try it for yourself, or not:)

We're going out of Miami twice next year and will be our first time in January. We booked the Hampton Inn Downtown Brickle. They had a stay and cruise package with hot breakfast. I was trying to decide between the Hampton Inns - Brickle, Blue Lagoon, and Coconut Grove. We were going to do the Holiday Inn at the Port but hubby doesn't like Valet parking.

Sharon your missing one of the best hotels for pre cruise stay in miami, the Hilton double tree right on the marina next to port. Has three resturants, a little market, pharmacy, a couple bars, and more. A shuttle to port. And short trolly ride to Bayside Marina. Mid range price, just thought I would mention it.:) We love it.

We stayed there is August and had a horrible experience. First, we picked our room in advance from the app. We wanted to be as high as we could. When we arrived, they gave us a lower room. I told them I had a confirmation for a different room. She left and came back 30 seconds later and said she spoke with the manager and apparently there was a water leak in our room so they had to close the room down. I get to my room and decide to call the room I was booked to be in. A lady answers. Hmmmm, I thought the room was closed. I was pissed. I asked to speak with the manager. I was told the manager was not there. So who was that lady talking to when I checked in just moments earlier. I spoke to the person in charge and she said the manager would contact me first thing in the morning. And if that wasn't bad enough, there was a large hairball in the toilet when we first arrived. I have a picture of it. Also, there was no soap at the sinks. Not a huge deal but I'm already mad about being lied to and having my pre-booked room given away. The next morning I spoke with the manager and she did not apologize. She said there WAS a leak when I checked in and that it got repaired and then they rebooked the room. LIAR. The room was booked when I checked in. They were all protecting each others back but I hate being lied to over and over again. I caught them in a lie and they still didn't admit their mistake or apologize. Seriously? What kind of business does that? And it's a Hilton. They did offer to give me a small 5% discount on my room rate. WHATEVER!!! The balcony view of the bay was beautiful. I will admit that. Too bad customer service and housekeeping is a joke. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

There is a free metro mover right outside of the hotel. We took the metro mover to the last stop before the exit towards the port. From there, we ordered an Uber Taxi to the port for a couple of dollars. (This saved us alot of money for our family of 5). Othwerwise, I believe that they have a shuttle to the port for $18 per person.
