Tips for Cruise

Explore Beyond South Beach

The true soul of Miami is found in neighborhoods like Wynwood, Little Havana, Coconut Grove and Coral Gables. Take time to explore them.

Look for 'Happy Hours'

To enjoy the cocktail scene without breaking the bank, look for happy hours at bars in Brickell and Wynwood, which often offer great discounts in the afternoon.

The Image is Important

Miami has a very appearance-conscious culture. People dress to impress, especially for a night out. Don't be surprised by the glamor and luxury.

The 'Miami Time'

Don't be surprised if people are a little late for social events. It is a more relaxed rhythm, influenced by Latin culture.

Protect yourself from the sun

The Florida sun is extremely strong. Wear high factor sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses, even on cloudy days.

Constantly Hydrate

Heat and humidity can quickly cause dehydration. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Beware of Scams in South Beach

On Ocean Drive, beware of restaurants that advertise 2-for-1 deals on drinks, as prices are often inflated and the bill can be astronomical. Always ask the price before ordering.

Be Aware of your Environment

As in any big city, keep an eye on your belongings, especially in busy areas. Do not leave valuables visible in your car.
