Drop-off: Pull up to the curbside drop-off in front of the terminal on North Cruise Blvd. Porters are available curbside — tip $2-3 per bag.

All PortMiami parking & transport options

Check-in tips:

  • Terminal C is PortMiami's flexible multi-line terminal — assignments can shift, so re-confirm your terminal with your cruise line the day before sailing
  • Margaritaville at Sea Beachcomber makes Terminal C its Miami home starting January 9, 2027 — the line holds preferential berthing rights here under its agreement with Miami-Dade County, and other lines still use the terminal on other dates
  • Margaritaville at Sea guests: your arrival window and boarding pass come by email and in the line's Guest Portal — bring the pass printed or on your phone, and go by the arrival time it shows
  • Follow your cruise line's check-in window rather than showing up at opening — staggered arrival keeps the lobby moving on busy overflow days
  • Have your passport and booking confirmation ready at the check-in counters

Getting to the Port

From Miami International Airport (MIA)

MIA is about 10 miles from PortMiami — roughly 20 min by car, traffic permitting. This is the closest major airport.

Cost: No published fare — PortMiami publishes no passenger transfer prices, so take the app's estimate or the meter as your number.

From Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL)

FLL is about 28 miles north of PortMiami — plan on 35-55 min by car straight down I-95, and more during rush hour. Flights into FLL often cost less than MIA, but weigh the savings against the longer transfer.

Cost: Uber/Lyft: $35-55 depending on traffic. Shared shuttle services: ~$20-30 per person.

Brightline Train from Fort Lauderdale (FLL)

Brightline's Fort Lauderdale station is downtown, not at the airport — a dedicated Brightline shuttle covers the airport-to-station leg. The train reaches MiamiCentral in under 40 minutes, and MiamiCentral is less than a 10-minute drive from PortMiami.

Cost: SMART fares $10-49 one-way. Airport shuttle: $12/person with a same-day train ticket. Rideshare from MiamiCentral to the port: ~$10-15.

Driving & Port Parking

PortMiami has parking garages at each terminal. The port is on an island — take the Port Boulevard tunnel from I-395 (toll-free) or the MacArthur Causeway from South Beach. Garages AA (MSC) and B (Norwegian) are $35 per vehicle, per space, per day. Garages C, D, F and G are $25/day long-term and $10 short-term with no overnight — Carnival sails from Terminals D and E and parks in Garage D. Surface Lot E, the open-air option and the only one without a height limit, is $25 per space per day, doubling to $50 if your vehicle takes two spaces. Garage A, serving Royal Caribbean at Terminal A, is the one garage the port does not price on its own page; it refers you to the garage operator's site instead.

Cost: $25-35/day for cruise-length garage parking, depending on terminal. Garage A is quoted by its own operator rather than the port.
