We had a full day in Miami before a cruise, and we took a Hop On Hop Off trolly tour. We got off in South Beach and spent a couple of hours just enjoying the beach, and swimming, before changing, getting back on and returning to Biscayne Bay.

We were in FLL for a couple of days before our last cruise. We did the Everglades airboat tour. It was a lot of fun--something different from anything else we've done.
We've also done the Miami HOHO trolley and enjoyed that as well.

Thanks for the replies. The HOHO tour is a reserve option. We have done the Everglades a year and a half ago when we stayed in Sanibel (full day with meals) and it was a blast. It is the only really nice option for the port, so we thought we'd leave it to others who might appreciate it more since we've 'just been'. I did some digging on the scuba website forums and found a dive operator that offers snorkel trips (http://www.decodiversmiami.com), and it is right across the MacArthur Causeway. As long as he gets enough people, I think we will do that.

I have been searching the forums, but not finding what I am looking for regarding the Miami port. My Sister-in-Law said there was a free (she thought) shuttle to a shopping area available at the port. Can anyone confirm this, or provide details for what is available (free or otherwise) from the port. I am interested in ones going both directions from the port.

we have done the things mentioned plus South beach on trips there but no snorkeling. I think the shopping area your sister-in-law was talking about is Bayside Market Place. It is a very neat place with lots of shops and dozens of restaurants like Hard Rock Hooters and Chiles. We shopped and sat at a table by the water ate some pizza and drank a couple of beers. This is also where we caught the hop on hop off tour.

If you have the Ship Mate app for your smart phone you can find lots of non-ship excursions for port of Miami and most ports you will stop at.

You could also spend some time in Coconut Grove and maybe see a show.
