Port of Miami Cruise Parking (Where to Park): Prices, Profiles, & Map

As the busiest cruise port in the world, Miami sees its fair share of passengers driving in for their vacation. Of course, that means that they need a place to park.

Located on Dodge Island, which is just across the bridge from downtown Miami, the cruise terminals are in a busy area of town where parking space is at a premium. Still, if you need to park for your cruise, then you’ll have no problem finding a spot. The port itself offers convenient parking right at the ship, but it comes at a steep price.

That’s why it pays to know your options. Prices vary considerably, based mainly on convenience to the port.

As a rule of thumb, the closer you park to the ship, the more costly it will be. The most expensive parking is located right at the port but is also the easiest to use. Luckily, there are other options if you are a bargain hunter.

(Note: If you are planning to spend a night in the area, check out our page of Port of Miami hotels with cruise parking   or Miami hotels with port shuttles . These hotels can help you save money on parking or transportation to the port.)

Miami Cruise Parking Lot Costs

Prices for parking can vary widely. The Port of Miami charges $22 per day ($25-$28 if sailing Royal Caribbean), while independent lots typically charge between $11-12 per day. One thing to keep in mind is that taxes and fees at independent lots can add several dollars each day to your cost. 

Note: There are a number of parking lots that show up on some third-party websites, but are difficult to find reliable information about. We’ve left those options off our list.

Official Port of Miami Parking Lots (Recommended)

While it is the priciest option, we recommend that cruise passengers simply park at the official port lots. Not only is it the most convenient with the ability to park right at the ship, but it is also the most reliable option we’ve found. There is a garage located right near each cruise terminal.

For the convenience of parking here, be prepared to pay the price. Overnight parking for most terminals is $22 per night. Parking at Royal Caribbean’s Terminal A is $25 per night for sailings of six days or more. The rate is $28 per day for cruises of five days or less.

Parking is available for oversized vehicles, but will cost extra and is in only one lot, across from Terminal E (which may or may not be convenient to your ship). Credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, Amex, and Discover, as well as cash and traveler’s checks are accepted. However, debit cards are not.

Parking comes in both covered (parking garage) and uncovered lots. The good news is that there are several options for where to park, so you can always find a lot that’s near your cruise ship. Simply follow the signs to your ship as you arrive at the port and you’ll find the parking lot or garage nearby.

Here’s a map with each lot and garage labeled:

Want to save some money? Disabled passengers in vehicles with specialized equipment (such as lifts or foot/hand controls) and those with Florida disabled veteran license plates can park for free. Click here for more details , or you can call the port at 305-347-4800.

• Cost: $22 per day | $25-$28 per day at Terminal A (Royal Caribbean)
• Distance: At terminal 
• Website: http://www.miamidade.gov/portmiami/parking-information.asp

Independent Parking Lots

In addition to the port, there are several options from independent parking lots in the area.

Safe Cruise Parking Safe Cruise Parking offers a good deal, covered garage parking, and 24/7 security. That’s a pretty compelling offer for a rate that’s considerably less than the cruise parking lots at the port.

Prices are $11 per day, but keep in mind you are charged for both the day you arrive and the day you leave. So if you arrive on a Saturday for a 7-day cruise and then leave the next Saturday, you’ll be charged for eight days. As well, taxes and fees increase the cost. For a week-long cruise, expect to pay about $100 for parking. Even with taxes and fees, that’s about half the rate of the Port of Miami.

The lot is located about 1.5 miles driving from the cruise terminals. A shuttle runs regularly to the Miami port and is free. Reservations are available on their website, which we recommend to ensure you have a spot when you arrive.

• Cost: ~$12.50 per day (includes taxes & fees)
• Distance: 1.5 miles (free shuttle provided) | 189 NE 2nd St. 
• Website: https://www.safecruiseparking.com

Premier Cruise Parking If you want to park in a garage where your car is protected from the searing Miami sun, then look into this company. Similar to Safe Cruise Parking above, this lot is actually a garage offering multiple levels of covered parking.

The garage (the MET3 parking garage in downtown Miami) is located about a mile from the port and offers a free shuttle to and from the cruise terminal. Rates run about $10.50 per day. But with taxes and fees you can expect to pay about $100 in total for parking on a one-week cruise — or roughly $12.50 per day. No oversize vehicles are allowed.

• Distance: 1.5 miles (free shuttle provided) | 250 SE 3rd Ave.
• Website:  http://premiercruiseparking.com/

WeParkIn Miami With parking in a garage just across the causeway from the port, this spot is among the closest you’ll find. The garage is located in downtown Miami and only minutes away from the ships.

During our search we found prices of $9.99 per day (including the cost for both the day you arrive and the day you leave), but with taxes and fees, the prices ends up being around $11.50 per day for a week cruise. That’s about 50% the cost of parking at the cruise terminal. In addition, the parking lot website says they have a shuttle service to get you back and forth from PortMiami.

• Cost: ~$11.50 per day (includes taxes & fees)
• Distance: 1.5 miles | 850 NE 2nd Ave

Miami Hotels With Cruise Parking (Recommended)

If you are staying in the Miami area in a hotel, then you may be able to save on your parking. Many hotels cater to cruisers with special daily parking rates or parking packages, which allow you to leave your car while you sail. 

Hotels include DoubleTree, Comfort Suites, Hampton Inn, and others near the port.

To be sure, if you don’t plan to stay in a hotel before your trip already, it’s not worth it to book a room just to get the parking. But if you already want to stay nearby before your cruise, then a hotel with a parking package can save you money over parking at the port. 

For example, a hotel might be $150 a night normally, but charge $180 for the park and cruise package that lets you leave your car for a week. The extra package cost is lower than the price of parking at the Port of Miami, which charges $22 per day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which parking lot should I use? While it is more expensive, we would suggest the parking at the Port of Miami . Navigating Miami can be difficult, so it’s nice to be able to park right at your ship and simply walk across a street to board. It’s also convenient in that you don’t have to pre-book or reserve anything. You simply arrive at the port on cruise day and park.

Can I park for free anywhere during my cruise? It be great to be able to park for free, but it’s only available in a few situations. First, if you are disabled and your automobile has modifications (such as a ramp), then you are able to park for free at the Port of Miami. As well, those with Florida disabled veteran license plates can also get free parking. You call the port at 305-347-4800 for more details.

If you don’t meet one of those two groups, don’t despair. You can park for free (or a discount) at a number of hotels in the area in exchange for a night’s stay. These hotels offer parking as a perk to attract cruise passengers. See a list of Miami hotels with cruise parking here .

What time should I arrive if I am parking? If you plan to park at the port, we’d suggest arriving 30 minutes before you plan to board. So if you want to board the ship at noon, arrive at 11:30. This will offer plenty of time to park, find your way to the ship and get checked in.

If you plan to park at an off-site parking lot, then we’d up that time to an hour before you board. This gives you plenty of time to park and then shuttle to the cruise ship.

Do I need to reserve a parking spot before I arrive? If you plan to park at the port, you don’t need to reserve any sort of parking. There are spots available and you simply pay when you arrive. For other lots, you’ll want to reserve ahead of time to ensure that they have space available.

Would you pay for the parking as you enter the garage or at the end of your cruise when eiting the garage?

Where is the best place to park when traveling on MSC October 2023? Want a covered and secure lot.

Just at the port. There are garages near each terminal.

We are driving in the night before. It is a 12 hour drive, so I expect to arrive in Miami sometime between 6a-9a. Can we get in the garage at port of miami at that time? Will there be parking available since it is before the cruise before us disembarks?

Not sure on that, but I’d suggest going somewhere, relaxing, sightseeing, or having breakfast. The port will be very busy with everyone trying to get off the ship.

Parking for NCL Terminal B? Cruising in December 2023. Also, one member is handicapped no equipment only a walker. Where do we park? The map is vague. Would like to have the ability to make a reservation.

There’s a parking garage adjacent to the terminal. Just head to the terminal and you’ll see the signs for garage parking.

Is the parking per day or per night? For the period from May 5th to May 8th, will I be charged for 3 or 4 days?

Do you know the height for Terminal F for Carnival. Just wanting to know as I have a truck and wanting to make sure I have enough clearance.

I do not know the exact height, but they are standard parking garages. If you can usually park in a garage, then you should be fine. If not, then there is oversized parking available.

Hi, just checking if this article still up to date and if in Feb 2023 I still can go and find a parking spot at the port. I’m concerned to be full, I hate to leave things like this for the last minute and don’t have reservations. I look at the satellite picture in google maps and dont even see big parking lots at the port, just a lot containers and construction.

Yes, it’s still valid. Miami used parking garages instead of big lots, that’s why Google Maps doesn’t show a lot of big parking lots.

Thanks for the quick response Tanner. I assume those garages are walking distance from the cruises right? Im taking an MSC for the first time and for what I’ve found is in the terminal AA/AAA, so because Royal is on A I assume will be close by and I have to take the Royal Caribbean garage?

AA/AAA is under construction. To my knowledge it’s not open yet. When it is, it will have its own parking.

I have 20 ft long 9 1/2 high campervan. Can I find a spot near Norwegian termi? 11 day cruise.

Roadtrekker

Not sure exactly where the oversized parking is, but it shouldn’t be too far. I know they ask you to park in a surface lot instead of garage.

The Royal Caribbean garage is more expensive than the other port garages. Can I park at another port garage and walk to the RC dock?

I supposed you could, although not sure if they check your boarding pass to ensure you’re in the right garage. Also, the RC terminal is at the very far end of the port, so there is some walking.

Do the lots at the cruise terminal fill up? I fear planning on parking here and no spaces available.

No, you don’t have to worry about that. Even if the lot for that specific terminal did fill up, you would just be redirected to another nearby lot. Plenty of space.

Do I need a reservation to park my car at the terminal A garage? If so, how do I make the reservation?

Thank you very much,

Bob Weinstein

No, you can just drive up the day of the cruise.

Wonder how difficult traffic will be on Saturday before the Super Bowl getting to and into the port of Miami. I know there is a week long event at Bayfront park. How much travel margin should we leave? How much extra time to allow?

We actually went through there on Friday before the Super Bowl. Wasn’t bad at all!

Is this parking right by royal carribean ship?

Yes, if you use the port parking.

Does Miami airport offer shuttle to the port? Also, would economy parking at the airport be cheaper that port parking?

The airport doesn’t have a shuttle to the port, but you can Uber/Lyft. You could use airport parking, and it would likely be cheaper. Just remember to add in the cost and time of transportation between your car and the port.

I received a free cruise and a hotel room for the night before and a shuttle to the cruise port, but they don’t provide parking. The parking at the hotel is very expensive. Where would you recommend I park so that I don’t have to move the car the morning of the cruise and will get a shuttle ride back to my car? I will get a taxi or uber to the hotel from the parking lot.

If it were us, we would simply park at the Port of Miami. It’s more expensive than other lots, but really convenient. If you want to avoid some of the traffic, wait until later in the day to get to the ship.

How would i know if there is parking space available for me to park my car if there is no reservation?

There is ample parking at the port. You don’t have to worry about there being enough space.

Does anyone know if a Dogde Grand Caravan could be considered as a “oversize vehicles”? I am asking because I am looking to Premier Cruise Parking due to the proximity and price and I was just not sure about it

That won’t be oversized. Oversized are things like RVs.

As of today August 27, 2019 Safe Cruise is up to 80 for a week long cruise and that is before ay taxes and fees.

Thanks for the update. Price can and will vary with lots.

What about disabled person to parking is free?

If you meet certain requirements, such as having modifications to the car such as a lift ramp, then you can park for free. See more here: https://cruzely.com/free-disabled-parking-for-florida-cruises/

Other than disabled Florida veterans, Does U.S veterans get a discount?

Glen — we don’t see anything about that. It’s still worth a shot to ask when you arrive.

Disabled customers pay the same rates?

Assuming you meet the requirements, parking at Florida ports is free for disabled passengers. You can find more information here: https://cruzely.com/free-disabled-parking-for-florida-cruises/

Greetings – how do I make a reservation to park at the port of Miami?

If you want to park at the port, reservations aren’t required. Simply show up on cruise day.

Can I part à 24 foot RV, if so, how much is it?

Yes, parking is available. It costs $44 per day for an oversized vehicle.

However, a con of parking at the Port of Miami is the higher cost compared to independent lots. Independent parking lots, like Safe Cruise Parking and Premier Cruise Parking, offer lower rates of around $12.50 per day. They also provide shuttle services to the Miami port.

Another option is to look for hotels near the port that offer special parking rates or packages for cruisers. This can be a cheaper alternative, especially if you plan to stay in the area before your cruise.

How to fold cruise luggage tags.

Hello! Are you getting ready for an exciting cruise adventure? If that’s the case, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll show you how to expertly fold your cruise luggage tags. Trust me, getting the hang of this skill will be immensely beneficial as you navigate the bustling cruise terminal.

Now, you might be wondering why you need to fold those tags in the first place. Well, let me tell you, it’s all about efficiency and organization. Folding your luggage tags not only saves space but also ensures that your information is securely attached to your bags.

So, grab your materials and let’s get started! I’ll guide you through each step, from flattening the tag to attaching it to your luggage.

By the end of this article, you’ll be a master at folding cruise luggage tags, ready to embark on your adventure worry-free. Let’s set sail, shall we?

• Folding cruise luggage tags saves space in luggage and increases efficiency and organization.
• Choosing durable and easily identifiable luggage tag designs, as well as using sturdy straps or loops, ensures secure attachment of the tags and prevents them from getting lost or damaged.
• Removing the luggage tag from its packaging should be done gently and without damaging the tag, ensuring that the information is clearly visible.
• Folding the luggage tag in half and folding the top and bottom corners towards the center creates a compact and secure attachment point, adding elegance and visual appeal to the tag.

Gather Your Materials

Now, it’s time to gather all of your materials, so you can start having fun folding those cruise luggage tags!

When choosing the right luggage tag design, consider one that is durable and easily identifiable among other bags. Look for tags with a clear window to display your contact information or a unique pattern that stands out. Additionally, consider tags that are waterproof or have a protective cover to keep your information safe during your travels.

To attach the luggage tags securely, use a sturdy strap or loop that can withstand the rough handling that often occurs during baggage handling. Make sure to tighten the strap or loop securely to prevent it from coming loose.

Once you have gathered your materials, you can move on to the next step of removing the luggage tag from the packaging smoothly.

Remove the Luggage Tag from the Packaging

First, carefully extract the luggage tag from its protective casing. Take a moment to appreciate the luggage tag’s design, as cruise lines often incorporate their logos or unique symbols. Gently pull the tag out of the packaging, making sure not to damage it. Some tags may have a clear plastic cover that you can remove to see the information clearly. Others may have a flap that you need to lift to reveal the fields where you can fill in your name and contact details.

Once you have removed the tag from the packaging, it’s time to move on to the next step: flattening the luggage tag for easy folding.

Flatten the Luggage Tag

To flatten the luggage tag, gently press down on it to smooth out any creases and ensure it lies flat. This step is important for a secure attachment throughout your cruise. There are a few effective techniques you can use.

Firstly, place the tag between two heavy books for a few hours, allowing the weight to flatten it out.

Alternatively, use a hairdryer on a low heat setting to gently heat the tag. Then, press it down with your hands to flatten it.

Once the tag is completely flat, you can move on to the next step of folding it in half. This will make it easier to attach to your luggage and ensure clear visibility.

Fold the Luggage Tag in Half

To make it easier for you to attach, simply bend the tag in half, ensuring it remains clearly visible.

Folding the luggage tag in half has several benefits when it comes to cruise travel. Firstly, it makes the tag more compact, allowing it to fit easily into your luggage or pocket. This helps prevent the tag from getting lost or damaged during your journey.

Secondly, folding the tag in half creates a more secure attachment point. The folded edge provides extra reinforcement, reducing the risk of the tag tearing off or coming loose.

When it comes to different types of luggage tags for cruise travel, there are various options available, including plastic, leather, and fabric tags.

Now, let’s move on to the next step: folding the top corners towards the center.

Fold the Top Corners Towards the Center

To fold the top corners towards the center, follow these steps:

Bring the top corners of the tag together towards the center, forming a triangular shape. This step is crucial in ensuring that your luggage tag stays securely attached to your suitcase throughout your cruise.

By folding the top corners towards the center, you create a neat and compact shape that won’t easily get snagged or come undone during your travels.

Once the top corners are folded, press them firmly together to secure the folded tag in place. This will prevent the tag from unfolding and potentially getting lost or damaged.

Now that the top corners are secure, it’s time to move on to the next step: folding the bottom corners towards the center. This will further reinforce the tag’s stability and ensure that it stays attached throughout your entire cruise adventure.

Fold the Bottom Corners Towards the Center

Now, take a moment to bring the bottom corners of your tag together towards the center, creating a secure and stylish triangular shape. To achieve this, follow these fold techniques:

• Align the bottom edges of the tag, making sure they are flush with each other.
• Fold the bottom left corner towards the center, creating a diagonal crease.
• Repeat the same fold with the bottom right corner.

By folding the bottom corners towards the center, you’ll not only ensure that your luggage tag stays in place during your cruise, but you’ll also add a touch of elegance to it.

This alternative method of folding creates a sleek triangular shape that is both secure and visually appealing.

Once you’ve completed this step, you can move on to the next section and check the folded tag for any loose edges.

Check the Folded Tag for Any Loose Edges

Before attaching your luggage tag, take a moment to inspect it for any loose edges. It’s important to ensure that the tag looks polished and secure. Loose edges can indicate that the tag is not securely folded or that it may easily tear off. To effectively secure your luggage tag, make sure all the edges are neatly folded and aligned. Press down firmly on the folds to ensure they are secure and won’t come undone. If needed, consider using clear adhesive tape to reinforce the edges. Once you have checked and secured your folded tag, it’s time to move on to the next step of attaching it to your luggage.

Attach the Folded Tag to Your Luggage

To attach the folded tag to your bag, simply loop a sturdy string or a zip tie through the punched hole and secure it tightly. This step is crucial to ensure that your luggage tag stays securely attached throughout your cruise journey.

There are different types of luggage tag attachments available, so choose the one that suits your needs best. Here are three options that you can consider:

Use a thick and durable string: This option provides a classic look and is easy to tie securely.

Opt for a zip tie: This is a more permanent attachment method that provides extra security.

Try a luggage tag strap: These straps are specifically designed to keep your luggage tag securely in place.

Once you have securely attached the folded tag to your bag, it’s time to double check the tag for accuracy. This will ensure that your luggage is properly identified and delivered to the correct location.

What To Pack For A Viking Ocean Cruise

As I get ready for my upcoming ocean cruise with Viking, I’m feeling a wave of anticipation building up inside me, much like a kettle on the brink of whistling. It’s not hard for me to imagine standing on the deck, feeling the salty breeze teasing my cheeks, and watching the ocean waves dance under the bright sun. Yet, before I set off on this adventure, there’s an important task I can’t overlook: packing.

Ah, the joy of deciding what to bring on this grand adventure! In this article, I will guide you through the essentials of what to pack for a Viking ocean cruise.

From clothing suitable for various weather conditions to comfortable walking shoes for exploring new shores, we’ll cover it all.

Don’t forget your travel documents and toiletries, and be sure to bring along some entertainment and electronics to keep you occupied during those peaceful moments at sea.

So grab your suitcase and let’s dive into the exciting world of Viking ocean cruising!

• Pack clothing for various weather conditions, including cozy sweaters, lightweight fabrics, layering options, and a waterproof jacket.
• Bring comfortable walking shoes, such as slip-on sneakers, waterproof hiking shoes, sandals, athletic shoes, and classic black flats.
• Remember to bring important travel documents and essentials, such as a passport, travel insurance, photocopies of your passport, and compliance with airport security regulations.
• Don’t forget toiletries and personal care items, such as travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrush, toothpaste, high SPF sunscreen, and clear zip-top bag for security.

Clothing for Various Weather Conditions

When packing for a Viking ocean cruise, be sure to bring a variety of clothing options to suit the ever-changing weather conditions. From cozy sweaters for chilly evenings to lightweight, breathable fabrics for sunny days. Layering options for unpredictable climates are essential, as the weather can shift quickly at sea.

A versatile wardrobe should include long-sleeved shirts, cardigans, and jackets that can be easily added or removed as needed. To prepare for rainy or windy conditions, it’s important to choose the right outerwear. A waterproof jacket or windbreaker will keep you dry and protected from the elements.

As we transition into the subsequent section about comfortable walking shoes, it’s crucial to ensure your footwear is also weather-appropriate.

Comfortable Walking Shoes

For ultimate comfort while exploring, don’t forget to bring a pair of cozy walking shoes. Stylish footwear is a must for any Viking Ocean Cruise, as you’ll be strolling through charming cobblestone streets and picturesque towns. Opt for shoes that are not only fashionable but also provide ample support for your feet. Consider investing in shoe inserts to enhance the cushioning and reduce any discomfort during long walks.

Here are five items to consider packing:

• Slip-on sneakers for easy on and off convenience.
• Waterproof hiking shoes for outdoor adventures.
• Comfortable sandals for exploring warmer destinations.
• Lightweight and breathable athletic shoes for active excursions.
• Classic black flats for a more elegant evening look.

Now that you’ve got your footwear covered, let’s move on to the next section about travel documents and essentials.

Travel Documents and Essentials

Don’t forget to bring your passport, a must-have ticket to unlock the world of travel adventures.

Along with your passport, it’s essential to carry travel insurance. This will provide you with peace of mind, ensuring that you are protected in case of any unforeseen circumstances during your Viking Ocean Cruise.

Additionally, it’s a good idea to make photocopies of your passport. Having these copies will be extremely helpful in case your passport gets lost or stolen. Keep them separate from your actual passport for safekeeping.

Now that we have covered the important travel documents, let’s move on to another essential aspect of packing for your Viking Ocean Cruise – toiletries and personal care items.

Toiletries and Personal Care Items

Make sure to bring all your essential toiletries and personal care items to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience. Here are some must-have toiletries for a Viking ocean cruise and some packing tips for personal care items:

Travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, and body wash: These compact bottles will save space in your luggage while keeping you fresh and clean throughout your trip.

Toothbrush and toothpaste: Don’t forget to pack your toothbrush and toothpaste to maintain good oral hygiene during your cruise.

Sunscreen: Protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays by packing a high SPF sunscreen.

When packing your toiletries, remember to place them in a clear, zip-top bag to comply with airport security regulations.

Now that you have your personal care items covered, let’s move on to the next section about entertainment and electronics.

Entertainment and Electronics

When it comes to entertainment and electronics on a Viking Ocean cruise, there are a few key items that I always make sure to pack.

First, I bring my trusty e-reader or tablet loaded with a variety of books to keep me entertained during downtime.

Second, a good camera and plenty of memory cards are essential for capturing all the stunning sights and moments along the way.

Lastly, I never leave without my portable charger and headphones, ensuring that I can always stay connected and enjoy my favorite music or podcasts while exploring the ship and ports of call.

Books, e-readers, or tablets

Bring your beloved books, engaging e-readers, or trusty tablets to tame the time on your thrilling Viking voyage.

When it comes to e-book options, there are pros and cons to consider. E-readers, like the Kindle or Nook, are lightweight and can hold thousands of books in one device. They have adjustable font sizes and background lighting, making reading easy on the eyes. However, they require charging and may not have the same feel as a physical book.

Tablets, on the other hand, offer a more versatile experience. They can be used for reading e-books, browsing the internet, and even watching movies. Plus, you can download e-reading apps like Kindle or Nook to access a wide range of titles. Just make sure to bring a reliable charger and consider investing in a protective case.

As we transition to cameras and memory cards, remember to capture every breathtaking moment of your Viking adventure.

Cameras and memory cards

Don’t forget to capture every awe-inspiring moment of your adventure by bringing along your trusty camera and plenty of memory cards. As you embark on your Viking Ocean Cruise, you’ll want to ensure you have the best camera equipment to document your journey. Here are some photography tips to make the most of your experience:

• Invest in a high-quality DSLR camera to capture stunning landscapes and intricate details.
• Pack a versatile zoom lens to capture both wide-angle shots and close-ups of wildlife.
• Bring a tripod for steady shots, especially during low-light conditions or long exposure photography.
• Don’t forget extra batteries to keep your camera powered up throughout the day.
• Lastly, bring a waterproof camera bag to protect your gear from unexpected rain or splashes.

Now that you have your camera equipment ready, let’s move on to the next essential items: portable chargers and headphones.

Portable chargers and headphones

Make sure you have portable chargers and headphones. They’ll keep you powered up and entertained during your adventure.

When it comes to portable chargers, look for ones that have multiple USB ports and fast charging capabilities. This way, you can charge your phone, tablet, and other devices all at once without any hassle. Some chargers even have built-in LED lights, which can come in handy during nighttime.

As for headphones, there are various styles to choose from. If you prefer over-ear headphones for their noise-canceling abilities and immersive sound experience, go for it. On the other hand, if you prefer something more compact and wireless, opt for in-ear or true wireless headphones. Just make sure they are comfortable and provide good sound quality.

With your portable chargers and headphones ready, let’s move on to money and travel accessories, ensuring you have everything you need for a smooth sailing experience.

Money and Travel Accessories

Remember, you’ll want to stash away your treasure trove of money and essential travel accessories before embarking on this epic Viking ocean cruise! Here are four must-have items to ensure a smooth and worry-free journey:

A money belt: Keep your cash, credit cards, and passport safe and secure with a discreet money belt. It’s an essential accessory for money management and travel safety.

RFID-blocking wallet: Protect yourself from electronic pickpocketing with an RFID-blocking wallet. This smart accessory prevents thieves from scanning your credit cards and stealing your personal information.

Universal travel adapter: Don’t let a different outlet shape ruin your day. Pack a universal travel adapter to keep your electronic devices charged and ready to go in any country you visit.

Portable safe: For extra peace of mind, bring a portable safe to secure your valuables in your cabin. It’s a practical and convenient way to protect your belongings while exploring the ship and ports of call.

With these money management and travel safety essentials, you can fully enjoy your Viking ocean cruise without any worries. Bon voyage!

In the midst of all the excitement near the port, make sure you don’t miss your boat! Check out our tips for the latest guide on where to sleep, park and find transportation in preparation for your cruise through Miami .

Miami Cruise Port Parking + Hotel Options

For a bargain buy, you can stay at the Holiday Inn Downtown Port of Miami at 340 Biscayne Blvd. This hotel is only 0.1 miles from the port! If you’re looking to be right near your ship for departure, you can’t get much closer. They offer valet parking at $27/night, along with an outdoor pool and free WiFi.

Another reasonable option is the Courtyard by Marriott Plaza Hotel Miami at 200 Southeast 2nd Avenue. Still, within walking distance at 0.5 miles from the port, you can choose to take the shuttle service down for $8 per person.

If you want to leave your car there, the parking garage will cost you a little more at $37/night . If you’re looking for something a bit (or a lot) fancier, try the luxury Gabriel Miami Hotel at 1100 Biscayne Blvd. At 0.4 miles from the port, they offer a full-service spa and several fabulous amenities. Reviews are excellent if you’re willing to pay the price to stay there. Valet parking rates are listed at $35/night . There’s also an additional “resort fee” of $20/night if you’re staying overnight.

At 0.6 miles or more from the port, there are several more hotels to choose from that range from high-end luxury to family/budget-friendly. Several nearby hotels offer packages that include a ride to the port. There is no shortage of places to stay in Miami, but it’s never a bad idea to book accommodations in advance, especially if you have a certain budget in mind.

Ride Services From the Airport

If you’re arriving via the Miami International or Fort Lauderdale airports for your cruise line, you can easily opt for a rideshare service to the port, like Lyft or Uber. This will get you straight to your destination. Although more direct, you do pay extra for the convenience. A Miami shuttle service could be a cost-effective option as well.

If you don’t mind navigating the public transportation system, you can actually save quite a bit of money. Traveling from the Miami Airport to the cruise ship can be done for a low rate of just $2.25/person and takes about an hour.

According to Cruzely.com, the route would go as follows:

• MIA Mover at Airport –> Rental Car Center/Metrorail Train Station (Free)
• Orange Line –> Brickell Station ($2.25)
• Miami Trolley (Coral Way Route) –> Port of Miami (Free)

The route from Fort Lauderdale is a bit more complex, but can still save you a lot of money if you’re willing to be patient and make a few transfers:

• FLA-1 Commuter Connector at the airport –> Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport Station at Dania Beach for Tri-Rail (Free)
• Tri-Rail –> Metrorail Transfer Station ($3.75/$5.00)
• Green Line –> Brickell Station ($2.25)

Map out your route out in advance and double-check the dates to make sure public transportation will be up and running. Some services are not available on Sundays.

Where to Find Parking at Miami Cruise Port

If you’d prefer to drive yourself and leave your car at the port waiting for when you get back, you have some options.

Premier Cruise Parking, Safe Cruise Parking, We Park Miami , and Best Cruise Parking are all less than 4 miles from the cruise terminal and offer airport shuttles if needed. Prestige Easy Park and Jet Port Park & Ride Center are a bit further away, but still under 10 miles from the cruise lines. These also have airport shuttles available to get you back on your plane ride home. 

Prices for the different lots seem to vary depending on when you travel but based on some test dates they average about $6.50 – $10/day with free cancellation anytime.

Snooze & Cruise

Aside from the nearby hotels that charge for overnight parking, there are some that offer free Port of Miami cruise parking during your vacation if you stay a night at the hotel. Hotels can be up to miles away from the port, but they typically offer free or cheap shuttles.

Since it has so much traffic, there aren’t a ton of hotels near Miami Cruise Port with free parking and shuttle. However, it’s still worth looking into “Cruise & Snooze” deals (also called Park and Fly ) if you plan to stay at a hotel anyways!

Always check online for up-to-date rates based on your trip dates. Most Miami hotels near the port offer a discounted rate for long-term parking or short-term parking lots if you stay as a guest. There are several options for transportation, from shuttle services, to rideshare, and public transportation.

If you stay at a hotel close enough, you can easily walk to the terminal and board your Royal Caribbean or Carnival cruise ship with your luggage on wheels. With Miami being such a busy spot for travel, there are many options to choose from. If possible, allow extra time at the beginning or tail end of your trip to enjoy all that Miami has to offer. You can even search through private Miami boat rentals to rent your own boat and cruise the city!

Make sure to check through the various Miami cruise port parking lots available to find the best deal. Bon Voyage!

11 Reason To Sail on Cruises From Galveston

I n no uncertain terms, a cruise port makes all the difference regarding your entire vacation. After all, the location of your departure sets the tone for your trip moving forward, determining which destinations you’ll reach once you’re on the high seas.

While specific destinations like Miami or Canaveral boast unique strengths, something might also be said for the Port of Galveston, Texas. A smaller port overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, Galveston may not be the largest or busiest destination from which to depart. Yet, there are plenty of amicable reasons to look into this idyllic Texan island for your next cruise-going experience.

1. Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Disney Offer Cruises From Galveston

Looking at it plainly, Galveston has three cruise terminals making up its port. In contrast, far larger alternatives, like the Port of Miami, have eleven terminals. Because of this, Galveston unfortunately cannot house many of the industry’s prestigious cruise lines. However, the port’s terminals support several large-scale cruise corporations, with Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Norwegian, MSC, and Disney Cruises departing from Galveston regularly.

2. The Nearby Cruise Destinations Are Well Worth It

Admittedly, inevitable drawbacks are attached to cruises from Galveston. Considering how much farther west it is than ports in Florida or along the East Coast, most cruise lines out of Galveston cannot travel to their company’s private islands as many are in the Eastern Caribbean. However, Galveston’s location along the Gulf of Mexico has its distinct perks, including ready access to the Western Caribbean and parts of South and Central America. Though some guests might regret losing a chance at CocoCay, it’s hard to be upset when trekking along the shores of Mexico, Honduras, or Belize.

3. It’s Easier To Navigate Than Larger Ports

There’s no simple answer when it comes to determining the total cost of cruises from Galveston over any other port in the U.S. Like most ports, the final cost of the cruise depends on numerous factors, including the time of year you’re sailing, the location of your cabin, and the cruise line you plan on traveling with. However, the convenience of navigating the port itself makes Galveston a perfect option for anyone new to cruise vacations. Avoiding the large-scale crowds and tedious boarding lines as other major ports, Galveston remains a hassle-free destination for most novice travelers out there.

4. galveston is conveniently located in the central u.s..

Given Galveston’s distinct location in eastern Texas , it’s one of the most readily accessible ports for travelers across the U.S. Located in the heart of America, travelers from the Western U.S. will have just as easy time reaching it as vacationers from the Midwest or East Coast. After all, who wants to sit on a lengthy plane ride to reach their port of call? Also, Galveston lacks the same high value of traffic as Miami or other popular ports, making it relatively hassle-free to reach.

5. The Port Terminal Is Reasonably Close to the Airport

Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport is the closest airport to Galveston. Roughly 41 miles northwest of the port, travelers can easily navigate from the airport to their cruise terminal in under an hour. Galveston is also close to several major cities, making it an option, albeit a farther one, for anyone flying into Austin or Dallas. However, given Houston’s short driving distance to Galveston, William P. Hobby Airport is your best bet for air travel.

6. The Boarding Process Is Quick and Seamless

As mentioned above, Galveston doesn’t have the same volume of passengers flooding through its port as Miami, Canaveral, or Port Everglades. As a result, boarding a ship is comparatively tamer—especially since the port opened up its third and latest terminal in 2022. Having been constructed in the past two decades and carefully refurbished, these terminals are in fantastic shape, making the onboarding process much more efficient for vacationers. The terminals also come equipped with innovative new features, with Terminal 3 offering mobile check-in and state-of-the-art facial recognition devices.

7. There Are Plenty of Hotels Nearby

Another notable feature of Galveston is the number of hotels near the port. (Because let’s face it: what’s more accessible than simply waking up, hopping in your car, and practically walking onto the ship without worrying about losing track of time?) What’s more, many of the hotels in the Galveston area have special offers for anyone traveling onboard a cruise ship. These offers include free or discounted parking rates and a helpful shuttle that ferry passengers back and forth from the hotel to the ship. While several hotels in Galveston have these amenities, some of the best include the Hilton Galveston Island Resort and the San Luis Resort .

8. Parking Is Easy

Don’t let Galveston’s size fool you—the port itself has plenty of options when it comes to parking. As previously suggested, anyone staying at a nearby hotel might want to consider leaving their car parked there and taking a shuttle, taxi, or Uber over to their terminal. Additionally, travelers can reserve a space in the port’s parking lot ahead of their trip. These parking spaces are safe and secure, and port employees will assist with any luggage brought aboard on cruises from Galveston.

9. Galveston Itself Is a Beautiful Place To Visit

The main reason we believe you should depart from Galveston on your next cruise is the opportunity you’ll have to see what it has to offer. Like most major cities, there’s plenty to do and see around town, with every prospective sight catering to travelers’ interests. For those interested in shopping, the Strand Historical District has plenty of independently owned stores that feature everything from odd tchotchkes to essential beach items. Galveston’s famous Moody Gardens is an educational park built around natural wonders such as exotic sea life, immaculate flowers, roaming monkeys, and sloths.

10. You’re Bound To Find Some Great Last-Minute Deals

As previously mentioned, Galveston is a more scaled-down port than Miami or Port Canaveral, but its three terminals still receive cruise ships constantly. Because of this constantly moving schedule, most travelers will find it incredibly easy to find last-minute deals on select cruises from Galveston—often days before the ship is booked to leave. Sure, it may not be practical for those traveling from longer distances to book something last-minute. Yet these last-minute deals are well worth it for anyone within a short distance of Galveston.

11. Galveston Is Steeped in Rich Maritime History

Galveston is a city rich in history, having first been settled by Indigenous Natives of the Akokisa and Karankawa tribes before the Europeans arrived in the 1600s. Over the next several centuries, Galveston became a hub for maritime trade, eventually attracting such notable figures as French buccaneer Jean Lafitte. All that being said, history buffs will delight at the chance to visit Galveston, taking in some of the numerous historical sights around town—like Lafitte’s personal hideaway at Maison Rouge or the Michael B. Menard House, named after one of Galveston’s original American settlers. Even those who don’t care for history will find these areas fascinating.
