Terminal AA (MSC Cruises)
Drop-off: Pull up to the covered drop-off area directly in front of the terminal. Porters with luggage carts are waiting curbside — tip $2-3 per bag. This is the world's largest cruise terminal, so signage is excellent.
Parking: Park in Garage AA ($20/day short-term, $35/day for cruises). The garage has 7-foot clearance. You can reserve parking in advance through the MSC website or MSC for Me app. Take the covered walkway directly to check-in.
Check-in tips:

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.
From Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL)
FLL is about 35-45 minutes from PortMiami. Sometimes flights to FLL are cheaper, but factor in the longer transfer time.
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. Royal Caribbean Terminal A uses Garage A, which requires an online reservation and whose rate the port does not publish. Carnival Terminal F uses Garage F ($10/day short-term, $25/day for the cruise duration). Norwegian's Garage B is $35/day for cruise-length parking. Surface Lot E, the open-air option and the only one without a height limit, is $25/day.
Hotel Shuttle Services
Many Miami hotels offer cruise shuttle packages, especially those near the airport. Quality and timing vary widely.
