Getting To Port of Miami
From Miami Airport

It is very easy to go from the Miami International Airport to the Port of Miami. There are four major options to choose from and each is quite economical.

1. Rideshare - Lyft or Uber

It will cost less than $25 for a regular Lyft or Uber ride between the airport and Port Miami. This may be the least expensive way to travel. (If your family numbers more than three, you will need to upgrade the ride and that will cost more.)

2. Taxi Service to the Cruise Terminal

It will cost about $35 per trip (1 - 4 passengers) to get to the port. This may be the second least expensive option to get to your cruise terminal from the Miami International Airport. 

3. Shuttle Service to the Port

Shuttle service (generally carrying several passengers) will cost about $14 per person.

For the family, it is better to ride your own taxi and pay the flat fee of about $24. (Price is subject to change.)

For additional information, you may visit the Miami International Airport's website. 

4. Your Cruise Line Transfer Service

Each cruise line offers airport-port transfers. Check with your Travel Agent for transfer costs and compare the rates.

Cruise Parking at
Port of Miami

For those who drive to the port, parking will cost you more than $20 per day. Therefore, if your cruise is five days long, expect to pay more $100.

Additionally, it is recommended that you tip the porters who collect your luggage $1 per bag.

When we first sailed out of Miami, we were blessed to have relatives in Fort Lauderdale. We drove down from McDonough, Georgia to Fort Lauderdale and had one of my brothers drive us to the port.

It happened to be a 7-day Caribbean cruise and so we saved a whopping $140! Wow!

If you have relatives or friends in the area, consider leaving your car with them. Your family will save some money on your Caribbean cruise.

Alternatively, you may consider parking away from the port. For our second Miami Caribbean cruise, we parked off base and paid less than $50 for a 5-day cruise.

Search the Internet for parking at the Miami Cruise Port.

I hope that the information above will help you prepare for a fun-filled Caribbean cruise from the Port of Miami.

Go have a memorable time and tell us about it when you return.
