I’m hanging out in South Florida for the hubby’s 50th birthday celebration. Today’s we’re visiting Bayside Marketplace in Miami, Florida. Being from Chicago, this space reminds me of Navy Pier and Oakbrook Mall all wrapped up into one location. There’s lots of shopping, places to eat, and tours to take on the water, including speedboats and there’s a huge ferris wheel.
We’re here specifically to check out the Millionaire’s Row Cruise with Island Queen Cruises and Tours. I highly recommend you purchase your tickets online. Your ticket confirmation will give you details on what to do and where to board. This is very important because there were tons of sight-seeing tours at this location, and they will scam you and tell you that your tickets will work with them, and actually no, you’re at the wrong spot, so be sure to follow the directions of where to go.
The tickets will say you absolutely need to be there 45 minutes prior to take off. It’s fine if you arrive later. We arrived 10 minutes before boarding and ended up being the first people in line; and the boat was full. They want your money. Parking can be hard to get, and you may have to walk far to get to the docking area, so please keep that in mind.
Boarding the ship was accommodating, and they also had bathrooms, and a mini-bar onboard with non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks and snacks. They took cash and credit card payment too.
Before arriving to Star Island, we saw a lot of cruise ships, including Icon of the Seas! That ship is massive!
There are so many mansions and estates on Star Island. Our tour guide and captain had so much trivia and details to share about the homes, former and current owners. It definitely put into perspective the difference between rich and wealthy!
If you’re in the Miami area, I highly recommend taking this tour.
