What is in this plan
Day 1: PortMiami embarkation & sail-away

Rental bicycles were also available and could be useful for getting around. **Food and drinks:** Breakfast ashore included a Mickey-shaped waffle. There are several dining options; one barbecue area served buffet-style food but was crowded during this visit. The creator bought juice, including an Olaf-the…
