Miami Cruise Port Guide: Hotels, Parking & Pre-Cruise Tips
Everything you need to know about PortMiami — the world's busiest cruise port. Best hotels near the port, parking options, how to get there, and pre-cruise day tips.
Quick Answer
PortMiami is on Dodge Island, connected to downtown Miami by the Port Boulevard bridge. The best area to stay is Downtown Miami or Brickell — 10-15 minutes from the port by rideshare. Port parking costs $22/day; hotel park-and-cruise packages are cheaper for 7+ night sailings. Take an Uber or Lyft to the terminal — it's faster than any shuttle.
