Trust me, it\u2019s worth it. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Port of Miami which is seriously just a few steps away from Bayside Marketplace. The hotel? A solid choice. It\u2019s clean, central, and has great access to the city without the Miami hustle. I would stay there on a casual Miami vacation, only a one night thing. We walked around Bayside Marketplace, shopped a little and I tried not to buy everything and grabbed food at Bubba Gump Shrimp. A great way to start the trip with zero stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center p1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Day 2: Embarkation Day \u2013 The Process of Trying Not to Lose Your Mind<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/superiorsistatravel.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_0734-2-1.jpg?w=769\" class=\"wp-image-130\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Miami Cruise Port<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re new to cruising, don\u2019t worry. I was too, and I made it through, barely. Embarkation day is chaotic, but not too bad once you get the hang of it. After no breakfast, we headed over to the Port of Miami to board the Freedom of the Seas. Here\u2019s a quick rundown of what to expect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p5 wp-block-paragraph\">1. <strong>Check-in<\/strong> \u2013 You\u2019ll drop off your luggage, go through a security line, and then it\u2019s time for paperwork. Luckily, I checked in online ahead of time, so I wasn\u2019t dealing with a giant line at the desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p5 wp-block-paragraph\">2. <strong>Muster Drill<\/strong> \u2013 Yes, you\u2019re required to attend. It\u2019s like a fire drill but for cruise ships. Don\u2019t skip it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p5 wp-block-paragraph\">3. <strong>Getting Onboard<\/strong> \u2013 Once you\u2019re through, you\u2019re on the ship! They hand you a key card, which you\u2019ll need for everything. Seriously, you\u2019ll lose it a dozen times before the trip is over. My daughter lost hers day 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p5 wp-block-paragraph\">4. <strong>Settling In<\/strong> \u2013 So my child was still recovering from a broken leg 2 months before, so we got a balcony room which I highly recommend. This was a concern but she was cleared by the doctor. The room we got because we let Royal pick, but it was far from the elevator. So that was a lesson, pick your own room. We spent the first few hours just getting cozy and adjusting to our \u201cnew home\u201d for the next several days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center p1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Day 3: Getting to Know Freedom of the Seas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">We immediately hit up Windjammer Caf\u00e9 for lunch (because, let\u2019s face it, that\u2019s what you do on a cruise). That was actually not opened yet. So we had EL LOCO FRESH. The ship was gorgeous, and while I know Freedom of the Seas isn\u2019t one of their newer ships, it definitely doesn\u2019t disappoint. I would\u2019ve preferred more dining options, but I was too busy just really admiring the ship, and feeling blessed to be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/superiorsistatravel.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fullsizerender-5-1.jpg?w=576\" class=\"wp-image-138\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Chops Grille<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">So here\u2019s the thing: if you\u2019re a first-time cruiser, don\u2019t be like me and assume you\u2019ll just figure it out. Nope. The ship is huge, and you will get lost at least twice before you get the hang of where everything is. We wandered around, took a million pictures, and just checked out the pools and shows. We planned on having my daughter try the kids\u2019 club, but that lasted all of five minutes before she decided it was \u201ctoo much.\u201d I guess that\u2019s what happens when you\u2019re mature for your age or just too cool for a kids\u2019 club. The process was hectic anyways, the staff wasn\u2019t very helpful and was unorganized. I didn\u2019t needed it but we considered it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center p1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Day 4: CocoCay \u2013 A Private Island, Sun, and Overhyped Drinks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/superiorsistatravel.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_0735-1.jpg?w=824\" class=\"wp-image-131\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">Our first port stop was CocoCay, Royal Caribbean\u2019s private island. Now, if you\u2019re expecting a Bahama mama vibe with endless drinks and no responsibilities think again. The island was amazing, but don\u2019t expect luxury beach clubs. It\u2019s laid-back and full of huge seagulls that will take your food faster than you can say \u201cDon\u2019t eat that.\u201d We spent most of the day just chilling by the pool and beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/superiorsistatravel.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fullsizerender-2-1-1.jpg?w=576\" class=\"wp-image-133\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">The pools and beach were just gorgeous. I just wanted to relax and soak up the sun. We spent hours in water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center p1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Day 5: Nassau \u2013 Shopping, Sun, and Some Sketchy Taxi Rides<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/superiorsistatravel.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/penultimatefullsizerender-1.jpg?w=768\" class=\"wp-image-134\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">This was a port day at Nassau, Bahamas. We took a taxi , no we didn\u2019t book an excursion we\u2019re rebels like that. While I\u2019ve been to Nassau a few times, this was my daughter first go-round. Let\u2019s just say, the taxi ride was an experience because in Nassau, anything goes. The driver was friendly but had questionable driving habits. We were in a taxi to the fish fry with a nice couple who was going to Atlantis Paradise Island Resort. We got a good food then back to Junkanoo Beach to be close to port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">We relaxed by the water, enjoyed some local food there was a whole lot of good choices, and I was here for it, and just had a laid back afternoon. If you\u2019re ever in Nassau, don\u2019t expect it to be as \u201cpolished\u201d as some of the other islands. My daughter saw the friends she met 2 days ago so she was living her best life with her new friends. Oh, and side note beware of the aggressive panhandlers. I had an experience with some men saying inappropriate things to me in front of my child and it put a bad taste in my mouth. Which sucks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center p1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Day 6: Sea Day \u2013 Getting Cozy, Getting Lounged, and Getting Bingo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/superiorsistatravel.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/img_0737-1.jpg?w=1024\" class=\"wp-image-135\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">After a few days busy , we had a Sea Day that was a godsend. We spent the day doing absolutely nothing. Well, except I played bingo and got a bingo card full of nothing. But it was the perfect chill day. My daughter went with her new friends who played golf and the games on ship and arcade. Probably at 10 ice cream cones\u2026each. I wandered , ate, shopped and went to the casino. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/superiorsistatravel.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fullsizerender-6-1.jpg?w=576\" class=\"wp-image-139\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Last Night Of Cruise <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">The final dinner that night was beautiful and a great way to end the trip. I made sure to tip the waiter I had every night. The staff ate truly what makes the experience great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center p1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>After the Cruise: One More Night in Miami at YVE Hotel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">Once we docked, it was time to disembark. As a first-timer, I thought getting off the ship was going to be a nightmare. Nope. We had the 9:30 AM checkout time because I\u2019m an overachiever and it was smooth. We grabbed breakfast at Windjammer and then we were off the ship and onto the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">We stayed at YVE Hotel in Miami, just to hang out for one more night before flying back to Atlanta. It\u2019s a nice, no-frills spot to rest your head after all the excitement.  It wasn\u2019t much, but it was exactly what we needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center p3 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>End Of The Road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/superiorsistatravel.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/a376293c-3c9e-49be-8cf9-064a01938831-1.jpg?w=576\" class=\"wp-image-140\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disembarkation is always a bit of a hustle, but it\u2019s all part of the cruise experience. It\u2019s like the reality check that you\u2019ve had your fun, and now it\u2019s time to get back to real life. The process starts early, so don\u2019t expect to sleep in. You\u2019ll get a color-coded luggage tag, which is your golden ticket to figuring out when you\u2019re supposed to head down to disembark. The ship\u2019s crew gives you clear instructions, but there\u2019s still that moment of, \u201cAm I doing this right?\u201d The lines can be long, and while you\u2019re waiting to get off, you\u2019re just thinking about how you could go for one more meal at the Windjammer or one more show. But soon enough, you\u2019re off the ship and into the chaotic yet orderly madness of the port. It\u2019s a little sad, but the feeling of relief when you\u2019ve cleared customs and finally get your bags is feels good too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center p1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Verdict \u2013 Would I Cruise Again?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">The short answer is, yes. Would I cruise with Royal Caribbean again? Definitely. I loved it. Freedom of the Seas was perfect for a first-timer like me, and I felt safe, comfortable, and kinda badass by the end of it. Even with my daughter who recovered from a broken leg, she did so good and had no issues . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">Now, if you\u2019re cruising with kids or solo, prepare to be patient. Things can get busy, but that\u2019s part of the fun. There\u2019s something about being surrounded by water for days that makes you feel like you can conquer anything. It can get scary at night looking into the dark sea, if you have a balcony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">So, yeah book it. Don\u2019t stress it. And go live your best life on a ship with questionable Wi-Fi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center p1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Must-Do Things Before You Cruise:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">1. Check in online to make the check-in process smooth and quick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">2. Pack a travel folder with all your paperwork (passports, boarding passes, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">3. Download the cruise line app for easy access to schedules and activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">4. Call ahead if you have specific questions about dining or accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">5. Arrive early to give yourself time to adjust before the big day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 1: Miami \u2013 Pre-Cruise Vibes We flew into Miami the day before the cruise, mostly to avoid the risk of something going bad, like missing flight.
