Hotels

We recommend you consider arriving in Miami a day or two before the cruise (October 22nd or 23rd) so you can experience all that Miami and Miami Beach have to offer. Arriving early also helps reduce the chance of missing the ship due to unexpected flight delays, cancellations or en-route weather problems. Sixthman will allow you to buy a hotel room while booking your Alabama Festival at Sea reservation.

We have arranged for a discounted block of rooms at the hotels listed below. Upon requesting a room, a non-refundable charge will be applied directly to your reservation and will be due in full by the final payment date. This rate is only available when booked through Sixthman (not through the hotel's website). Travel insurance can be increased to cover the cost of your room.

All rates include:
1 Hotel Room (you may request a room with either two double beds or 1 King bed, but availability of either kind is not guaranteed.)
All Hotel Taxes
2 Transfers from Hotel to Pier (transfers for additional 3rd/4th guests are available for $10, chargeable to your onboard spending account.). Return transfers from the pier at the end of the cruise are not included.

All hotels are non-smoking.
