The port for the cruise ships is so excellently placed. If you don't want to cross the McCarther Causeway and venture into South Beach, but you want to stay close to the port, your best bet is the stay in the Brickell area. There are many nice hotels there, such as the Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons, etc. etc.

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

I always use http://www.beginbooking.com./ This site searches 30+ regular booking sites and compares the prices to give you the best deals. Quite funny to see that there can be huge differences for the same hotel room across different providers.

Or, go to CruiseCritic.com, click on "Boards", then "East Coast Departures", then "Florida". Lots of great advice from experienced cruisers.
