Arrival & departure
Arrival day
- PortMiami serves multiple cruise lines across several terminals — confirm your specific terminal on your cruise documents before choosing a facility.
- Allow extra time on weekends and holiday sailing dates, when multiple ships often depart the same day.
Departure day
- Valet pickup at disembarkation can take longer during peak arrival windows — build in buffer time if you have a tight onward connection.
Shuttle service
Shuttle service runs approximately every 15–15 minutes between shuttle-served facilities and the cruise terminal.
Terminal Garage, Valet Service are within walking distance of the terminal — no shuttle needed.
Exact shuttle schedules will be confirmed with the operating facility closer to your sail date.
Oversized vehicles
Placeholder — exact oversized-vehicle rates and space availability have not yet been confirmed with a parking operator. Contact your reserved facility directly before arrival if you're driving an oversized vehicle.
Port tips
- PortMiami is close to Miami International Airport, making same-day fly-in/cruise-out feasible for many travelers — still, arriving the night before reduces risk.
