FLL also offers an affordable daily shuttle to cruise ships at the Port of Miami (along with other airports, like FLL, MIA or PBI International Airports). The Fort Lauderdale Airport Shuttle runs every 5 to 20 minutes, but does require a reservation at least 24 hours in advance. Pricing depends on the designated vehicle and your number of passengers. Free shuttle service is offered between all parking areas and the cruise terminals. The Miami cruise port advises drivers to drop off passengers and luggage at the terminal prior to parking.

Other restaurants and shops for purchasing last-minute toiletries and other items can also be found in downtown Miami, which is just over the bridge that connects to the port. Cruisers can also arrive at the Port of Miami from the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), which is about 25 miles away. As is the case with MIA, you have the option to arrange a shuttle with your cruise line.

Wheelchair and Accessibility at Port of Miami

There's Bayside Marketplace nearby, which is a four-minute drive from the Port of Miami. Brickell City Centre offers visitors upscale shopping along with dining options and is about a 10- to 15-minute drive from Port of Miami. Buses also run regularly from FLL, such as Greyhound and FlixBus. However, the buses are more time-consuming and can take about two hours to arrive at the Miami cruise port.

Bathrooms at Port of Miami

All parking locations accept cash, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover and major U.S. All terminals at Port of Miami have sitting areas, with newer ones featuring extra seating in case of delays. Porters are available at the entrance to each terminal to take your luggage.

Rideshare pick-ups are located on the arrivals level of the airport. If you've rented a car instead, please see directions by car "Getting There by Car" above.

Getting From Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to Port of Miami

If you're taking a cab to the Miami cruise port on the day of your sailing, your driver will need to follow signs for your ship's terminal after entering the port. Specific drop-off locations are designated at each terminal, and each terminal has its own designated taxi area. Read on for our Port of Miami breakdown, including address information, cruise line terminals, directions, services and more. Taxi services are readily available from FLL along with ridesharing apps, especially Uber and Lyft.

Take the Metrorail's Orange Line to downtown Miami's Freedom Tower stop (about 30 minutes). From there, hop on Miami Trolley's Coral Way route to take you the rest of the way. The trolley drops off at the port every 15 to 20 minutes from early until mid-evening all days except Sunday. Arrangements should be made with your cruise line in advance if you require wheelchair assistance to board the ship. If wheelchairs are required for the duration of the sailing, passengers are responsible for providing their own or they could likely rent from their cruise ship.

Port of Miami Terminal Information: Cruise Line by Cruise Line

However, baggage storage is available for a fee through private companies if you're booked on a flight departing from Miami International Airport. You could also check with your cruise line for luggage forwarding services if needed. Each of Miami's cruise terminals has anywhere from six to eight bathrooms, depending on terminal size. Free cell phone waiting lots are available across from terminals B and 2 (north of Seaman's Center) for anyone waiting to pick up disembarking passengers. If you're driving to port and using a GPS, it's best to use it only to navigate across the Port Boulevard bridge. Once across, look for signs directing you to the appropriate terminal as you may lose service.

Rideshare apps, such as Uber and Lyft, are great options as well. Pickup locations are located on the middle inner curb of arrivals level. All garages and Lot 2 offer day parking and short-term parking. Miami's amazing medley of cultures and flashy urban settings makes it a scene to be seen.
