Carnival's Newest Ship, MSC Cruise Line Set Sail Out of Florida in Latest Rebound of Cruise Industry

Carnival's Mardi Gras ship sailed out of Port Canaveral and the MSC Meraviglia sailed out of Miami.

cruise ships sailing out of miami today

Carnival Cruise Line debuted a new ship while MSC Cruises set sail from the state for the first time in over a year, marking the latest signs of recovery in an industry that was halted due to the pandemic.

Carnival's Mardi Gras ship set sail on its maiden voyage on Saturday, heading out for a weeklong cruise and stopping in San Juan, Puerto Rico; Amber Cove, Dominican Republic; and Nassau, Bahamas, according to the company . The cruise was the first Carnival cruise to leave Port Canaveral since the cruise line paused operations 16 months ago.

" Mardi Gras has been five years in the making so to finally welcome guests on board to experience this one-of-a-kind ship is something that we've been looking forward to for a very long time," Carnival's President Christine Duffy said in a statement. "Not only is Mardi Gras providing a truly unique vacation experience to our guests, it's so gratifying to be able to play a role helping the local community by providing much-needed jobs and a boost to the economy."

The ship, which features the first-ever roller coaster at sea , is one of Carnival's vaccinated cruises in which guests must have received the final dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days before embarkation. Any guests who are granted an exception must undergo testing and, for passengers 12 and older on cruises leaving out of Florida and Texas, obtain travel insurance.

On Monday night, the MSC Meraviglia set sail from Miami, the first MSC cruise to depart from the United States in nearly 18 months, the company shared with Travel + Leisure . The ship, which features a two-story Mediterranean-style promenade, will sail 3- and 4-night cruises to the Bahamas with a stop at the cruise line's private island, Ocean Cay. In September, MSC will add 7-night eastern and western Caribbean cruises.

"As of today, we once again have the pleasure of showcasing our word-class experiences to U.S. guests, offering them the cruise experience they know and love… It has been a long road, and we are delighted to see demand continue to increase as cruisers grow eager to get back to sea," Rubén Rodríguez, the president of MSC Cruises USA, said in a statement provided to T+L. "We are confident that they will find the rich onboard experience that we're known for, while feeling reassured that their health and safety is our highest priority."

Passengers on MSC Cruises leaving from the U.S. are not required to be vaccinated, but unvaccinated guests must show proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours of embarkation and, for those 12 and older, obtain travel insurance. All guests, regardless of vaccination status, must take a rapid antigen test at the pier before boarding.

World’s Largest Cruise Ship Containing 20 Decks and 7 Pools Sets Sail From Miami

Lionel Messi

MIAMI — The world's largest cruise ship — the size of almost four city blocks — is set to begin its maiden voyage Saturday as it leaves from the Port of Miami.

Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas, which runs nearly 1,200 feet (365 meters) from bow to stern.

The ship, which is leaving South Florida for its first seven-day island-hopping voyage through the tropics, was officially christened Tuesday with help from soccer legend  Lionel Messi  and his Inter Miami teammates.

“Icon of the Seas is the culmination of more than 50 years of dreaming, innovating and living our mission – to deliver the world’s best vacation experiences responsibly," Royal Caribbean Group President and CEO Jason Liberty said earlier this week. “She is the ultimate multigenerational family vacation, forever changing the status quo in family travel and fulfilling vacation dreams for all ages on board.”

The ship sets sail as Royal Caribbean’s cruises are having a moment online. Since December, the company’s 9-month “Ultimate World Cruise” has captivated — and confused — a following of avid watchers on social media.

Millions are following the journey through the eyes of the passengers, as they live and post their lives aboard a vessel they’ll be on for nearly a year. If it sounds like a reality show, that’s exactly what some watchers have turned it into.

When the Icon of the Seas was first revealed in October 2022, the ship spurred the single largest booking day and the highest volume booking week in Royal Caribbean’s then 53-year history, according to the cruise line.

The Icon of the Seas is divided into eight neighborhoods across 20 decks. The ship includes six waterslides, seven swimming pools, an ice skating rink, a theater and more than 40 restaurants, bars and lounges. The ship can carry up to 7,600 passengers at maximum capacity, along with 2,350 crew members.

It is powered by six dual-fuel engines, which can be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), a fuel alternative that the  Cruise Lines International Association  says reduces sulfur and greenhouse gas emissions. However, some environmentalists worry LNG-powered ships increase  methane emissions . Other say that vacationers generate  eight times more carbon  on a cruise than they do on land.

Royal Caribbean says every kilowatt used on the Icon of the Seas “is scrutinized for energy efficiencies and emission reductions.”

Seven people were rescued after a seaplane made an emergency landing in Miami Friday afternoon.

Video shows Miami-Dade Fire Rescue working to get the seven passengers to safety after the seaplane landed on its side near Port of Miami as several cruise ships sailed nearby.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to a report of a seaplane crash just after 1:30 p.m. The plane, a single-engine Cessna with tail number N85WL , departed from Palm Beach International Airport just after 1 p.m. and was scheduled to land in the PortMiami waterway, according to NBC 6 South Florida .

All passengers were rescued and brought to safety. No injuries were reported.

Seaplanes are capable of landing in water depending on the type of float the aircraft has. If the plane has an amphibious float, the float is made with retractable landing gear, which permits the aircraft to operate on a runways and on the water, according to the Hartzell Propeller .

It features over 800 buildings of different designs with creative geometric motifs, making it the largest grouping of Art Deco architecture in the world. These historically significant buildings are the perfect backdrop for your Instagram feed.

South Beach Nightlife

To truly experience the culture of Miami, you should explore the city at night. Many of Miami’s most popular nightclubs are in South Beach, located on the tip of Miami Beach. The white-sand coastline provides a gorgeous setting for the hip clubs, restaurants, and hotels that have made Miami one of the hottest nightclub areas in the world. 

Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park

Top things to do in miami, explore everglades national park.

Miami is located close to Everglades National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The best way to fully comprehend the rich nature and wildlife of the Everglades is to take an airboat tour with a knowledgeable guide who will tell you about the history of the Everglades and point out its most popular feature: the many alligators that call it home. When the guide starts telling you about some of the stories surrounding these prehistoric looking creatures, we won’t blame you if you scoot a little bit farther from the edge of the boat.

Walk Around Vizcaya Museum & Gardens

Due to its wet, humid climate, gardens in Miami are able to prosper into lush, beautiful landscapes. One of the highlights of the Miami garden scene is the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, where you’ll find an Italian-style mansion surrounded by manicured gardens adorned with lovely sculptures and a view of sparkling Biscayne Bay. 

See Animals at Zoo Miami

A popular attraction in Miami for families is Zoo Miami, where you can see over 3,000 animal species. Kids have a chance to feed giraffes, rhinos, and camels, as well as play in the splash pads. Rent a Safari Cycle to navigate the expansive grounds of the zoo.

Pretend You’re Under the Sea at Miami Seaquarium

Miami Seaquarium is another fun outing in Miami that is centered around animals, only here you’ll see ocean mammals. The Seaquarium features a variety of species, including bottlenose dolphins, crocodiles, and sea lions. Children will love the fact that there’s an onsite play structure (the Salty’s Pirate Playground) and a touch pool where they can feel the silky skin of stingrays. Visitors of all ages will be wowed by the Sea Trek Reef Encounter, an underwater walking path through the aquarium. 

What should I eat in Miami?

Miami’s food scene is a fusion of international flavors, but you’ll find a particular Latin flair going through many of the dishes. While in Miami, there are some dishes that stand out from the rest, and five you should try are:

Arepas: This popular South American food item is also popular in Miami. It infuses cheese into a flattened, folded pastry, which is then cooked until the dough turns golden.

Ceviche: With the close proximity to the sea, you can find a variety of ceviche in Miami, which typically mixes cold seafood with any number of ingredients from fruit to salsa.

Chicharrones: If you’re a meat-lover, you can’t miss trying chicharrones in Miami, which are pork skins that are deep-fried and have a salty aftertaste.

Florida Stone Crab: If you’re visiting between October and March, try the local seafood delicacy of stone crab, served chilled on ice. The meat of the stone crab claw is known for its tenderness and hint of sweetness.

Cuban Sandwich: This iconic Miami dish is a sandwich made with Cuban bread. In between the slices of bread, you’ll find a pile of delicious ingredients like roasted pork, baked ham, gooey Swiss cheese, dill pickles, and yellow mustard.

When it comes to drinks, you’ll likely be able to find your favorite libation at one of the many bars and nightclubs lining the streets of Miami Beach. However, if you want to try a local specialty, look for a mojito or a Miami Vice.

What is the culture and history of Miami?

The culture of Miami has been largely influenced by the influx of immigrants to the city over the past 80 years, giving it an intriguing multicultural scene that extends to the arts, music, beach, and nightlife. You can find Latin flair throughout the city before departing on one of our cruises from Miami, along with a distinctly Caribbean vibe, especially when you’re in the Little Havana and Little Haiti areas of the city. Beach bars intermingle with nightclubs, and the laidback lifestyle mixed with the ritzy nightclubs that attract the rich and famous from all around the world create an interesting dichotomy.

Where can I go shopping near the Miami cruise port?

It’s not hard to find places to shop in Miami, but if there’s a particular type of shop you’re after, certain areas of the city are best. The Design District of Miami is known for its art galleries and high-end boutiques.

For clothing, you’ll find designer boutiques at Bal Harbor, and more clothing stores along Collins Avenue or Lincoln Road in Miami Beach. You’ll also find some shopping with an international flair in Little Havana or along historic Española Way in Miami Beach. 

For jewelry and local crafts plus more fashion and trinkets, the Miami Fair Trade Marketplace is a great place to shop both for the variety and because you can be assured that souvenirs were made in fair and safe working conditions.

For a fun shopping mall experience with a quintessential Miami vibe, head to Bayside Marketplace. This mall has open-air walkways leading to over 100 shops. At this mall, you’ll also find restaurants and bars, street performers and live music, and even a launchpad for boat tours along the Miami coastline.

Bargain shoppers who love a great deal on luxury finds will enjoy a day of shopping at Dolphin Mall, which is an outlet mall located close to Miami International Airport.

How can I get around Miami?

Public Transport

You have four main options for public transportation in Miami: the Metrobus, the Metrorail, the Metromover, and the trolley. The Metrobus is a bus system that runs all around the Greater Miami area, and the Metrorail runs from the north to the south end of Miami with stops in downtown.

The free Metromover covers downtown Miami and Brickell. It is a fully automated shuttle that runs on electricity. The Metromover also connects with the Metrorail and Metrobus at downtown stations. For traveling around Miami and Miami Beach, trolleys offer free services with many routes available.

For private transportation, taxis and rideshares are popular ways to get around Miami. Make sure you’re hailing a licensed taxi, which should have written that it’s a taxi cab on the side of the car and display the license for the driver and the taxi’s rate card inside the vehicle.

Miami International Airport (MIA)

If you’re embarking on one of our cruises from Miami and you don’t live within driving distance to the port, there’s a good chance you’re flying into Miami International Airport (MIA). Upon landing, you can get local information at the airport, where you’ll also find a bank, post office, pharmacy, baggage storage, ATM, and car rental companies.

If you’re flying in the night before your cruise (which we recommend to accommodate for possible flight delays), check with your hotel if they offer a shuttle from the airport. Otherwise, you have plenty of other options, including a 24-hour Super Shuttle van service, taxis, and buses. If you’re going straight to the cruise port from MIA, you can take a taxi to the cruise terminal or take the cruise shuttle bus that you can purchase tickets for through Celebrity Cruises.

What are the local currency and tipping customs?

The currency accepted in Miami is the U.S. dollar, and you’ll be able to find ATMs dispensing U.S. dollars all over the city. Tipping is very common and expected in Miami, especially in restaurants, bars, and taxis. A common tip for restaurants, taxis, and most other services is 15% to 20% of the total amount.

Port of Miami Cruise Guide: Everything About Sailing From Miami

When it comes to cruising, there’s simply no bigger — or busier — port than the Port of Miami. Also known as PortMiami, the cruise side of the port handles about 6 million passengers in a typical year, making it the most popular starting point for cruises on the entire planet.

Sign at the Port of Miami

By our count, the Port of Miami has eight active terminals with more on the way (including the current or soon-to-be “flagship” terminals of several major cruise lines), services over 1,200 sailings in the typical year, and offers a year-round warm weather locale to start (and end) your cruise.

With so much going on at the port, you might have questions about cruising from the city. For instance, how do you get to the port? Where do you park? What sort of tips and advice is there to make embarkation smoother?

We’ve dug into the all the details of cruising from PortMiami below. It will give you everything you need to know before you set sail.

In This Article...

  • Distance from Miami Airport: 10 miles
  • Number of Terminals: 8 (AA/AAA under construction and F being renovated)
  • Passengers Carried Each Year: ~6 million
  • Cruise Ship Dockings Each Year: 1,200+

Port of Miami Location

The Miami cruise port sits in a perfect location, on Dodge Island just over the causeway from downtown Miami. About three miles from the open waters of the Atlantic, the port is protected from the ocean yet still close enough to make it a short time to get out to sea.

The port is also near the Miami airport, which is roughly 10 miles away. The ride over will take 15-25 minutes by car.

If you are driving to the port, the address is:

1015 North America Way Miami, Florida 33132

The entire South Florida area is a hotspot for tourism, so you might be coming from anywhere in the area. In that case, here is the distance and expected drive time from a number of popular spots:

  • Miami Airport: 10 miles | 15-25 minutes
  • Fort Lauderdale Airport: 30 miles | 40-60 minutes
  • Hollywood: 20 miles | 25-45 minutes
  • South Beach: 6 miles | 10-15 minutes
  • Doral: 15 miles | 30-40 minutes
  • Brickell: 3 miles | 10 minutes
  • Downtown Miami: 2 miles | 5-10 minutes

Things to Do Near the Port of Miami

As we said, downtown is near the port, meaning there are a number of interesting things to do and see right nearby.

FTX Arena Home of the Miami Heat, along with a number of special events, FTX Arena is right at the foot of the bridge that crosses to the cruise port. If you’re staying in the area before or after your cruise, check out the schedule to see if there is a concert or sporting event to give you something to do without going far.

Frost Science Museum A great place to visit with kids, the Frost Science Museum is just a couple of blocks from the cruise port. The museum offers a lot of science-focused exhibits, along with aquariums and a planetarium. Head up to the roof to get a dramatic sweeping view of the entire port area in the thoughtfully-designed open-air wildlife exhibit.

Freedom Tower The Freedom Tower is perhaps Miami’s most famous building. Originally built in the 1920s, the tower looks small and a bit out of place next to the towering modern skyscrapers nearby. Still, there is a lot of history here as it served as a processing center for Cuban refugees following the Communist revolution. Today it houses an art museum and is a gem in the history of Miami.

Cruise Terminals at the Port

As you would expect given the number of cruises that leave Miami, it has the capacity to dock a number of cruise ships as once. In fact, with a total of eight terminals (with several more on the way), more than a half-dozen ships can be berthed at any given time. Below we’ve listed current terminal and those under construction or soon to be built.

Terminal A Currently one of the crown jewels of the Port of Miami, Terminal A is exclusive to Royal Caribbean and is a monument to the cruise line. Featuring a modern styled look, Terminal A is at the far east end of the port, and is large enough to handle Royal Caribbean’s biggest ships, which are the largest in the world.

Terminal AA/AAA  Slated for completion in 2023/24 at a cost of $300 million, this terminal complex (pronounced “Double A” and “Triple A”) will be home to MSC and act as a flagship terminal at the port, with the ability to dock two ships at once. It is planned at the far east end of the terminal complex, making them the last terminals as you make your way out of the main channel to the open ocean.

Ship departing Cruise Terminal B in Miami

Terminal B Terminal B (pictured above) is home to a Norwegian Cruise Lines. Featuring a large rounded façade that’s reminiscent of an ocean wave and a spectacular piece of modern architecture, the terminal — known as “The Pearl of Miami” — acts as the flagship home for one of the world’s largest cruise lines. 

Terminal C An older terminal that often served Norwegian Cruise Lines before that cruise line moved next door, Terminal C still gets use from cruise lines like Disney and MSC. From here you can get a great view of all of the Miami area, looking out east to South Beach or west to downtown.

Terminals at the Port of Miami

Terminals D & E Often serving Carnival ships, Terminals D & E are where you will likely go if you are sailing the world’s largest cruise line. Terminal D in particular is bright, open and airy, making check-in a breeze.

Terminal G Terminal G sits at the far west end of the cruise port. It’s literally across the street from Garage G, making it extremely easy to park and get to your ship in just a couple of minutes. The terminal currently sees use from Royal Caribbean on weekend trips when the cruise line has multiple ships in port.

Terminal F Terminal F is undergoing a nearly $200 million renovation (which is likely to be completed by the time you read this) to become the new home to Carnival’s Excel class ships, like Carnival Celebration. It marks the third terminal dedicated to Carnival, with plans to keep ships there for at least 20 years.  

Terminal J Sailing on a cruise line with smaller ships, like Regent Seven Seas or Oceania? There’s a good chance you’ll sail from Terminal J. The cruise terminal is on the southern side of the island, opposite of the rest of the cruise port traffic. Its location with no other ships around make getting to your cruise a bit less hectic than some of the busier terminals.

Terminal V Notice that all the terminals go in alphabetical order, until you reach Terminal V? That’s because this is home to Virgin Voyages. The new terminal sits on the west end of Dodge Island, serving the adults-only cruise line.

Hotels in the Miami Port Area

When you cruise, it’s usually a good idea to arrive to the port city the day before your trip. Not only are there lots of things to do in the Miami area, but it also give you plenty of time should you run into a delay getting to the port. You don’t have to stress about missing the ship due to a flat tire or delayed flight on cruise day.

Of course, there are a number of hotels near the Miami cruise port. Hotels closest to the port usually offer higher-end accommodations due to being near trendy downtown and also usually have nicer atmosphere. You can also try staying in South Beach, with its famous art-deco hotels. It’s only about 10-15 minutes from the port and offers lots to see and do before a cruise.

If you’re not picky, however, you can save some cash by staying at hotels nearer the airport or elsewhere around the city. These hotels don’t have the “flash” of a swanky downtown Miami or South Beach hotel, but offer a comfortable place to stay for cheaper.

Below, we’ve listed just a few hotel options (there are hundreds — if not thousands in the Miami area).

Hotels Near the Cruise Port:

  • Hampton Inn & Suites Miami/Brickell-Downtown
  • DoubleTree Biscayne Bay

Hotels Near the Airport (Usually Less Expensive):

  • Comfort Suites Miami Airport
  • Hampton Inn Miami Airport South/Blue Lagoon
  • Hyatt Place Miami Airport-West/Doral

One thing to watch is that many hotels in the touristy areas like South Beach have expensive charges to park and also charge resort fees. If you want to stay in South Beach, be sure to ask about these possible charges before you book so that you don’t see surprise charges you weren’t expecting. 

Getting to the Port (Transportation)

Cruise terminal A at the Port of Miami

The great news about being in a tourist hotspot like Miami is that there’s an entire industry catering to tourists and cruise passengers to help you with anything you need. That means you have an number of transportation options to get to the port.

We’ve covered all of your options in-depth here in our port transportation page . For most people, however, they will use one of a handful of options.

Driving to The Port Live in Florida? Then you might be thinking about driving to the cruise port. While that means you’ll have to deal with South Florida traffic, it is a convenient way to get to your ship. Driving offers you the ability to arrive exactly when you want and to leave to get home as soon as you debark the ship. There is also ample parking at the Port of Miami, but know that it will cost $22 per day ($25-$28 if sailing from the Royal Caribbean terminal). See details on parking below for more details.

Uber/Lyft If you fly in for your cruise — or simply don’t want to deal with driving — then Uber and Lyft offer service throughout South Florida to the Miami cruise port (including the airports). Getting a ride at any time you want is as simple as opening the app and requesting a ride at your location. Estimated rates from points of interest are below and will vary based on traffic. Keep in mind these rates are for the car, not per person.

  • Miami Airport: $20-$25
  • Fort Lauderdale Airport: $40-$45
  • Hollywood: $30-$35
  • South Beach: $10-$15
  • Doral: $25-$30
  • Brickell: $10-$15
  • Downtown Miami: $10-$15

Taxi Taxis are usually more expensive and less convenient than using a rideshare program like Uber or Lyft. Still, for those without a rideshare account or who simply prefer to take a cab, you can pick one up at the airport or request one from area hotels. Rates from the Miami airport are a flat $27. Estimated fares are below from the location listed to the port:

  • Miami Airport: $27 (Flat Rate)
  • Fort Lauderdale Airport: $65-$75
  • Hollywood: $60-$70
  • South Beach: $20-$25
  • Brickell: $20-$25
  • Downtown Miami: $10

Hotel Shuttles If you are staying at a hotel in the area, then know that many of them offer shuttles to the cruise port. Some hotels offer the service for free while others charge a nominal amount for the service. Either way, it’s a simple way to get to the ship on cruise day. See our full list of hotels in Miami with cruise shuttles to the port .

For all of your options on getting to the Miami cruise port, (including public transportation and more details on each of the items above), see our port transportation page here .

Parking at the Cruise Port

If you’re driving to the port, then you obviously need a place to park your car. As in other port cities, there’s an industry surrounding cruise parking for passengers. We cover all of your options in full detail (with prices and locations) in our Port of Miami cruise parking article .

To keep things simple, you have two main options — park at the official port parking or with an independent parking lot.

Official Port Parking The Port of Miami offers parking garages and lots near all of the cruise terminals. Parking is literally across the street from the ship. In total there are thousands of parking spaces — you don’t need to reserve a space or worry about finding a spot. 

Parking at the port is convenient, but it’s also expensive. Rates run $22 per day. There is space for oversized vehicles like RVs, but the rate is an additional $22 each day. Cash and all major credit cards are accepted, but debit cards are not.

Note that parking at Royal Caribbean’s Terminal A is $25 per day for sailings of six nights or more. The rate is $28 per day for cruises of five nights or less.

Are you a disabled cruiser? If so, you may be eligible for free parking at the Port of Miami. If your car has special modifications — such as ramps or driving controls — or you have a Florida Disabled Veteran license plate then you can park for free. For more details, see our article on free parking for disabled passengers here .

Independent Lots In addition to parking your car at the port, there are a number of independent lots on the mainland, across from the cruise port. While these lots aren’t near as convenient as parking right at the ship, they do offer transportation to and from the cruise ship.

The biggest draw, however, is that they offer much cheaper prices than the port. That said, the reviews we’ve seen of these independent lots aren’t always stellar and the lots seem to change hands often. In our opinion, it’s a safer bet to park at the port or with a hotel that offers parking.

Hotels with Parking Miami is known for its tourism and that means there are countless hotels in the area. If you stay in the area between the airport and cruise port, then the hotels also cater heavily to cruise passengers.

As a perk, many hotels near the Port of Miami offer cruise parking deals. You stay one night and parking while you are on your cruise is included in your room package or is a small additional daily fee. As a bonus, many of the hotels also offer shuttles to the cruise port. Given the high cost of parking at the cruise port, hotel parking can save you considerably. You can see our list of Miami hotels with cruise parking here .

Dropping Off/Picking Up Passengers

Dropping off passengers at the port? Or picking up someone after your cruise? That’s a great way to help passengers save money and hassle of parking at the port.

While navigating around the port can be a little confusing given the twists and turns and the number of terminals, picking up and dropping off is simple. You’ll see signs at the terminal directing you to the spot where you can let out passengers (and pick them up afterward). Simply pull up and drop them off, similar to what you would do at an airport.

Drop off area for Miami cruise passengers

Numerous signs throughout the port area will direct you to the correct terminal for your ship. It may help to drop off or pick up at the very beginning or end of the terminal as there is less traffic here and it may be less of a hassle to stop and let out passengers.

Security & Check-In

These days many of us have gotten used to airport security, complete with long lines, body scanners, and strict rules on what you can and cannot bring. By comparison, security at the Port of Miami is much more enjoyable.

While the specifics of each terminal may be a little different, you’ll usually drop off any bags you want to check (simply meaning you don’t want to carry them on and rather have them delivered to your cabin later), enter the terminal and be asked for your boarding documents and ID. After this initial check, you’ll put any carry-on items through an x-ray machine and then you’ll walk through a metal detector.

cruise ships sailing out of miami today

Assuming that there’s no contraband or prohibited items in your luggage, you’ll collect it on the other side of the x-ray machine and then proceed to check-in.

These days many cruise lines have made a switch to allow passengers online check-in. There, your entire account is set up before cruise day. If you opt for this, you’ll proceed directly to the ship. Your room keys will be waiting in a sealed envelope at your cabin.

If you don’t do online check-in, no problem. You’ll wait in line for a cruise line representative. There are usually dozens of them working in the terminal, making the line move quickly. When it’s your turn, you will set up your onboard spending account, get your room keys and then proceed to the ship.

Disembarkation

Unfortunately, all good things have to come to an end, and that also means your cruise. So what’s it like to get off of a cruise ship in Miami?

Thanks to its popularity as a cruise port, we’ve found that Miami is one of the best in the business at getting folks off the ship as quickly as possible. When announced that you can depart the ship, you’ll re-enter the terminal that you left from but be directed to the disembarkation part of the facility.

Here, you will pick up any luggage that you set outside your cabin door for the crew to pick up. Many people, however, choose to simply carry all of their luggage off to get off the ship sooner.

Once off the ship and in the arrival hall, you will wait your turn for a Customs and Border Patrol officer to check your travel documents to return into the United States. Most terminals now have electronic kiosks that allow you to scan your passport or just take a photo and then continue on your way. It can literally take just minutes from leaving the ship until being out of the terminal. After that, you simply head outside to find your transportation from the cruise terminals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Skyline of Miami from a cruise ship

What time should I arrive for my cruise from Miami? When you book your cruise, you’ll be assigned a boarding time or given a window when the cruise ship boards at the port. For instance, Carnival lets you select a 30-minute boarding time of your choice. Other lines simply tell you that boarding is open from, say, 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

If you are given a boarding time, then obviously you should get to the port at this time. Entering the port, parking, and walking to the ship is usually pretty quick. For that reason, we suggest planning only about 10-15 minutes time extra. So if your boarding time is 1:00 p.m., then plan to actually get to the Port of Miami around 12:45.

If your cruise line has a broad boarding window (something like noon to 4 p.m.), then you can arrive at any point during that window. We suggest waiting until the second half of the boarding window to actually arrive. There is usually a big rush of people who want to board as early as possible, leading to longer lines. Waiting a little later can make check-in a breeze as the crowds have died down.

Is there anything to do at the port? If you are early for your cruise or need to kill some time before catching a ride to the airport or home, there is a small park at the Miami cruise port. Seafarer’s Park offers a swimming pool, restaurant, tennis courts, basketball court, and a sand volleyball court. It’s where you might find some crew from the cruise ships blowing off steam in between cruises.

If you want to walk over the causeway bridge, there are restaurants and things to do in downtown Miami. But in general, there isn’t a ton to do right at the cruise port. You’ll want to exit the area and head to downtown Miami most likely if you have time to spare.

How can I see what ships are in Miami the day I sail? Chances are slim that you’ll be the only cruise ship in port the day that you sail out and when you get back. If you’re interested in the other cruise ships that you’ll see while in port, then you can see a full schedule at Crew-Center.com . It’s a neat way to know what other mega ships you will see while on your trip.

How long does it take to get to the airport from the Port of Miami? We mentioned it above, but it takes about 15-25 minutes in normal traffic to get to the Miami airport from the cruise port. Expect 45 minutes to one hour if you are headed to Fort Lauderdale.

Do I pay for parking at Garage G after the cruise is over? Thank you

When arriving at the port for a Royal Caribbean cruise do you drop of luggage in front of the ship and then park or do you park and bring it all with you from the parking garage?

You can do either. When you turn into the terminal when driving, you’ll see a huge wall with “Bag Drop” painted on it. Here you can drop luggage and then proceed to parking. Or if you want to just walk it in, you can do that too.

I need transportation from the Port of Miami to the Hampton Inn Ft. Lauderdale-Plantation on January 25th for 5 people. Could you give me an estamate of the cost for this? thank you

We see estimates of about $40 for a regular Lyft and about $80 for Lyft XL (larger car). Given the number of people and luggage, you’ll either need two cars or Lyft XL to fit everyone.

Video shows Carnival cruise ship rescuing migrants at sea near Cuba

The tattered vessel was spotted about 20 miles north of cuba as the cruise ship was headed back to port miami, by nbc6 • published february 26, 2024 • updated on february 27, 2024 at 1:41 pm.

New video captured the moment a Carnival cruise ship came to the aid of a group of migrants aboard a rustic vessel out at sea.

A passenger onboard the Carnival Celebration told NBC6 the rafters were spotted Saturday afternoon.

Miami Cruise Ship Schedule For 2024

Yet another giant Royal Caribbean ship is switching to short cruises

Gene Sloan

It's official: Short cruises on giant ships is the flavor of the month in the cruise world.

Royal Caribbean on Wednesday announced it would reassign its massive 18-deck-high Wonder of the Seas — the world's second-biggest cruise ship — to short three- and four-night sailings out of Miami starting in August 2025.

The 2-year-old vessel, which can hold up to 7,084 passengers, currently sails seven-night voyages out of Port Canaveral in Florida.

The announcement comes just four months before the debut of Royal Caribbean's giant new Utopia of the Seas , a sister ship to Wonder of the Seas that also will sail short three- and four-night sailings, out of Port Canaveral.

Together, the two deployments will mean that two of the world's four largest and newest cruise ships will sail quickie trips out of Florida — something that is unprecedented in the history of cruising.

Traditionally, major cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean have devoted their newest and biggest ships to longer seven-night sailings out of Florida — a more lucrative market — and placed older and smaller vessels on shorter runs.

Royal Caribbean's moves with Wonder of the Seas and Utopia of the Seas amount to a bold bet that placing two of its latest and greatest vessels in the short-cruise market will drive a surge of new customers.

In an interview with TPG in advance of the Utopia of the Seas announcement, Kara Wallace, Royal Caribbean's chief marketing officer, suggested that Royal Caribbean was specifically going after the "new to cruise" market with such sailings. The term refers to people who have never cruised before.

It's a segment of vacationers that often is wary of booking a cruise longer than three or four days in case they don't love it.

Putting one of Royal Caribbean's newest and most amenity-filled ships on short cruises will let the line "make that first impression, the best impression" with first-time cruisers, she added at the time.

Other relatively new and big ships that have been deployed to short cruises of late for at least part of the year include Carnival Cruise Line' s 4,126-passenger Carnival Firenze and 4,208-passenger Carnival Venezia . Both ships have joined the Carnival fleet in the past year after sailing briefly for sister line Costa Cruises.

In addition, a third Royal Caribbean ship that's roughly the same size as Wonder of the Seas and Utopia of Seas but more than a decade older, Allure of the Seas, recently switched to sailing short three- and four-night sailings out of Port Canaveral, Florida. But it'll switch back to longer sailings in 2025.

Quickie cruises to the Bahamas

The new short cruises to be operated by Wonder of the Seas out of Miami will be all-Bahamas itineraries with stops at two places: Nassau on the island of New Providence and Perfect Day at CocoCay , Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas.

Fares for the sailings, which will kick off Aug. 25, 2025, start at $321 per person, based on double occupancy, for the three-night sailings. Four-night sailings start at $341 per person, based on double occupancy.

Both Wonder of the Seas and Utopia of the Seas are part of Royal Caribbean's enormously popular Oasis Class of ships .

Launched in 2009 with the debut of Oasis of the Seas, the Oasis Class ships have dominated the world of mega-size cruise ships since that year and still account for five of the world's six largest cruise ships. Only Royal Caribbean's recently unveiled Icon of the Seas is bigger.

When the Oasis Class began rolling out, the vessels in the series were around 40% bigger than the next-biggest cruise ships. The Oasis Class ships and the new Icon of the Seas have continued to be the biggest and most amenity-laden ships in the world ever since.

Until just a few months ago, the Oasis Class ships had focused on seven-night sailings, mostly in the Caribbean but occasionally in Europe. Three of the five ships in the class that currently are sailing — Symphony of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas — continue to focus on seven-night sailings.

The fourth vessel in the series, Allure of the Seas, currently is sailing short cruises out of Port Canaveral, as noted above. It'll move to Miami in July to operate short cruises before switching back to longer sailings in Europe in April 2025.

Miami cruise hits rough seas and pier. How the incident affected passengers and trip

A Carnival Corporation ship chartered as a rock music cruise encountered rough sailing in Jamaica, upending the itinerary and causing anxiety among some passengers.

The Carnival Magic hit difficulties on Tuesday morning, forcing the Miami-based cruise ship to briefly leave a Jamaica port while many passengers were still onshore. But the ship then went to a nearby pier and picked up the people, the company told the Miami Herald on Tuesday night.

The incident happened while the ship was in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The ship sailed to the Caribbean out of PortMiami.

“Strong winds and swells caused the pier fender to collapse under pressure, and the ship made contact with the pier,” the company said in a statement.

The Carnival Magic then left the area “for the safety of everyone on board,” the company said, “and later docked at another nearby pier so that guests who went ashore Tuesday morning could rejoin the ship.”

On Wednesday, Carnival told the Miami Herald that the ship “will depart Wednesday evening to continue its sailing.”

The company Ask4Entertainment had chartered the Carnival Magic for its annual rock band trip called ShipRocked 2024, what it bills as “Six Terrifying Nights of Music and Madness.” The ship left PortMiami on Feb. 4 with stops planned for Bimini, Ocho Rios and Grand Cayman.

Bands scheduled to play on the ship’s five stages included Killswitch Engage, Beartooth, Highly Suspect, and Badflower.

On Tuesday, I Prevail was supposed to play at 4:30 p.m., but a couple of members were onshore, according to Barbara Ligman, on board with her husband, James Ligman. The couple, both 60, live in Fort Myers.

“We’re fine now that we’re back on the boat,” she said Wednesday in an interview with the Herald. “Yesterday was just horrendous because Carnival was not communicating what was going on.”

The past 24 to 36 hours were uneasy for James Ligman, an attorney born and raised in Miami, and Barbara Ligman, a pilot for American Airlines.

Weather had prevented the scheduled stop in Bimini. Then on Tuesday morning, the ship docked at Ocho Rios. “It was very windy,” she said.

“You can see right away the huge waves crashing over the pier and washing out the port,” she recounted. “Rocks and mud were entering the building.”

About 8:20 a.m. Tuesday, she and her husband got off the ship and started their hiking excursion. They had to be back on the boat by 3:30 p.m. It was supposed to set sail at 4 p.m. to Grand Cayman.

But when they were dropped off near the port just past noon, they saw the boat there, but no longer docked.

Until that moment, they had not received any updates on their mobile app about what was happening.

“People were just standing around,” she said. “Nobody telling you what’s going on.”

They went to a nearby bar to have some drinks. Later they and others were told to clear the pier and were taken by shuttle to a house.

She estimated about 1,000 people were in the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house waiting.

“We had no idea where the boat was,” she said. It was raining and getting dark. Yet, “We’re getting no information from Carnival.”

Finally, “we got an update at 6:30 p.m. that the boat is docked and ready to board” at another pier. They were picked up at about 7:30 p.m. from the house.

Damage to the ship and pier wasn’t immediately clear.

Carnival said passengers were never stranded. “Our guests were not and would never be left behind.” People ashore “were taken care of by the Carnival team and shore excursion partners.”

The company said no one was hurt and that ship services continued to operate.

The Carnival Magic stayed in Ocho Rios on Tuesday night, canceling a Wednesday visit to Grand Cayman.

The 1,004-foot vessel is a Dream class, large-scale, bow-to-stern cruise ship with a capacity of 3,690 guests.

Carnival Cruise Line is part of the parent company Carnival Corp., headquartered in Miami-Dade County.
