Currently the crown jewel of the Port of Miami, Terminal A is exclusive to Royal Caribbean and is a monument to the cruise line.

Some terminals have electronic kiosks that allow you to scan your passport, take a photo, and then continue on your way.

The odds are that you’ll be in the clear for a second-home mortgage interest deduction on that type of boat. here

With these kind of luxury accommodations onboard, it's no wonder why many decide to deduct their boat (or yacht) as a second home mortgage interest. more
Most people who run their own businesses take deductions for business entertainment and expenses. Those deductions can be wide-ranging, including everything from taking a client out for a meal to sending a client flowers upon the death of a coworker. here
Boat owners who entertain clients or potential customers aboard are eligible for business entertainment deductions. In such cases, the IRS will want to see not only itemized receipts for any money that you spent, but also proof that you had a reasonable expectation of gaining work, income or some other benefit by taking the person or group of people out for a day or longer on your boat.
