- Where you park
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.
- 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. An additional berth of this same building appears on schedules as Terminal AAA — the same covered drop-off and the same check-in hall serve it, and ships from other lines berth there on busy days, so follow the ship-name signage rather than assuming MSC.

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

Local Tip
MSC World America uses Terminal AA, where the embarkation process is one of the fastest in the industry thanks to the terminal's massive 36,000-passenger daily capacity. Garage AA parking is $20/day short-term or $35/day for cruises, reservable through the MSC for Me app. Have your passport and booking confirmation ready at the check-in counters. The CVS or Walgreens on Biscayne Blvd about 5 minutes before the port is your last good stop for forgotten essentials.
