Unfortunately the taxi driver who picked us up at the Fort Lauderdale cruise port had no idea of how to navigate around the Miami area, the only destination he seemed to know was Miami International airport & with no sat nav he got lost trying to find the hotel we had booked to use prior to our evening flight home. To cut a very long story short we eventually got the driver to drop us at a taxi rank where we changed to another taxi & offered him $70 against the $117 on the meter (the meet & greet service from Miami International to Fort Lauderdale cost $90 in a rather swish SUV)
Finally arrived at our hotel, given the extended journey from Fort Lauderdale & the fact that during our holiday we managed to change from the VS006 (22.30) to the VS118 (18.50) we only had around 3 hours at the hotel but at least long enough for a spot of lunch & a freshen up.
Arrived at Miami International, reviews on v flyer had told us not to expect much but we we still surprised at just how basic the facilities are, amazing for such a major airport. We arrived with a few hundred $ burning a hole in our pockets & didn't manage to spend one of them. The Americas lounge is pretty poor as well but I guess more comfortable that the main departure area. Fortunately our learnings from v flyer meant that we didn't arrive at the airport early so out time in the lounge was fairly short.
We were straight on to the flight when called & had no delay as priority boarding was operational. Once on board & a rarity for us we declined the bubbly offered & settled down for what I think was an on time departure on board Diamond Girl.
I had the curry for main course & my wife a fish dish, we both enjoyed our meals more than on the out bound journey, we again declined wine with our meals which must be a first but did enjoy a couple of glasses of port with the cheese.
The journey was fine, nothing special but nothing to complain about, maybe we have been spoilt by so many UC flights but certainly the buzz seems to have gone a little.
As I said though, no complaints.
