Miami

Most Caribbean cruises originate from Miami or Fort Lauderdale which are great places to start your trip! With flights being so volatile these days, most people choose to come in at least 1 day prior to the cruise. Your vacation should start from the moment you hit the ground in Florida! One of the most common questions I get is, "Where should we stay before our cruise?" There are so many hotels, people have a hard time figuring out where it's best to stay. Let me help you narrow it down to some of my favorite ones!

I had the absolute pleasure of completing a sight inspection at Standard Spa Miami Beach. I also stayed there for three nights, so I have lots to share.

I had the pleasure of experiencing the Miami Beach EDITION this Monday for a site inspection. The hotel had a very modern and minimalist feel to it! Very family-friendly as all pools accommodates children.

While I was in Miami for our Virgin Voyages experience, I checked out hotels that could be good pre or post-cruise hotel options.

Miami Beach isn't your average beach escape. It's a vibrant collision of cultures, where Art Deco architecture meets sizzling nightlife and world-class dining. During the day, soak up the sun on pristine sands and turquoise waters. By night, savor a culinary scene as diverse as it is delicious, then dance the night away, as DJ's keep the party going all night. This city ignites all your senses — it's Miami Beach, and it's unlike anywhere else. Miami is on fire and keeps me coming back year after year!

I recently spent a weekend here with my kids for an online school meet-up, and we had an absolute blast. The mix of culture, art and fun activities made it an unforgettable experience for all of us. From exploring the vibrant street art at Wynwood Walls to the hands-on exhibits at the Frost Museum, there was never a dull moment. The city’s unique energy, combined with its incredible dining options and waterfront vibes, made it the perfect getaway for both bonding and adventure.

Miami is a location that can balance all the things a good girls trip is looking for; beach, spa, outdoor dining, nightlife, shopping and the arts. It's warm when girlfriends in the colder locations want to escape the winter and an easy flight from most airports.
