There are two Inter-Continentals in Miami, what makes you think it is this one?
On the Inter-Continental site neither has the name given... But it is surely one or the other... I just don't know which?
The other Inter-Continental which I have stayed at several times, is in downtown Miami next to Bayside. Many rooms have an excellent view of the ships. I guess there would be no reason to stay here unless you are actually leaving from the Port of Miami. I believe the CORAL PRINCESS will depart from Ft. Lauderdale, about 30 minutes to the North.

If there's a hotel called Doral perhaps the ticket means Inter-Continental OR Doral, and it could be either?
Just an idea.

There is a hotel called Doral, but it's also an area of Miami that people refer to. Back when I went to college at UM, there was really nothing around Doral except the club, golf courses, and Carnival's Headquarters (it was a different building back then.... in an office park). Now the area has grown enormously with many offices, hotel, and restaurants.

We have friends leaving from Miami in January - try this URL - http://miami.florida.intercontinental.com/hotel.shtml
This gives information on both Intercontinental locations.
I really wouldn't worry about it - if the Line has put you there, I'd assume it's also providing transfers. Understand though that's it's nice to know what's close by.
Have a great cruise!
If all else fails, ask your Agent or Princess for clarification.
