Hey, I'll be in Miami for about 24 hours this weekend before taking a cruise, just wondering if there are some "must-sees" or "have to-dos" there for anyone who has been there! Thanks!

the wife and i got loaded at Mango's on South Beach last time we were there.. Great Bar that is owned by Gloria Estevan...

South Beach.

If there's a Panthers game, I suspect you could probably get a ticket shortly before game time.

With the way flights are going now, you may not have as much time as you think. I am supposed to be going to Mexico today and my flights gone from 11:25 to 13:30 to 00:05 to 6:00 to 2:30.

I would much rather be going on a cruise than to Mexico. Which ship?

Definitely check out Southbeach.

It's over $100 cab ride from South Beach.

You can rent a car for dirt cheap though.

you are going to love that ship, make sure u get tickets to the ice show asap, get a wine package (on board, not online) and book a night in chops and/or portafino - the food is well worth it.

have a great time!

Thanks, I am super stoked and I basically got the best deal ever for it. I just watched a National Geographic special on the ship I didn't even realize its the biggest cruise ship in the world! The wine package is definitely something I'm interested in. Thanks for the advice!!

My vote is to take a day trip to The U. But that's mostly because I want you to pick me up a Jacoby Harris jersey and Fedex it to me.
