Where to Eat in Miami Before Your Cruise Departs?

Flying into Miami a day early before your cruise? Don't waste the trip on hotel room service. Here's where I send my clients to eat before they set sail.

Versailles, Little Havana
The Cuban food staple in Miami. Great for a classic pre-cruise dinner with real local flavor, not a tourist trap.

Joe's Stone Crab, South Beach
A Miami institution. If you're cruising during stone crab season, this is worth the wait. Book ahead or plan for a line.

Flanigan's, Casual and Local
A South Florida staple for wings, seafood, and a laid-back bar vibe. Good pick if you want something easy and no-fuss the night before you sail.

Cao Bakery, Cuban Bakery Fix
Grab a cafecito and a pastelito before you head to the port. Perfect for a quick breakfast or snack on the way.

Sanguich, Multiple Locations
Some of the best Cuban sandwiches in Miami. A must if you want a true taste of Little Havana before you board. The location at Bayside Marketplace is great for a pre-cruise lunch.

Hilton Bentley South Beach, Where to Stay Nearby
Pairs well with a Joe's Stone Crab dinner since it's close by and makes for an easy walk back after.
