Plan my boarding dayDrop-Off & Parking
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.
Passenger 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.
Parking at Terminal AA is $35/day — all PortMiami parking & transport options →
Luggage storage
PortMiami says security regulations mean no storage lockers anywhere on the port, and that your cruise line handles luggage forwarding.
The port names one alternative: baggage storage at Miami International Airport, for a fee, if your flight leaves from MIA.

Before you arrive
Arrive during the check-in window in your cruise-line documents.
- Download the MSC for Me app and complete online check-in before arrival — this is the fastest way through
- MSC's terminal is built for volume — the port states it can process 36,000 passengers a day across three ships, so queues tend to move even on busy mornings
- Have your passport and booking confirmation ready at the check-in counters
Last-minute supplies
There's a small convenience area inside the terminal for last-minute items. For better selection, stop at a CVS or Walgreens on your way — the closest is on Biscayne Blvd, about 5 minutes before reaching the port.
