Tips for parking at PortMiami

Book early. On-site garages at popular terminals (A, B, C) sell out weeks before peak season departures. Reserve online as soon as you book your cruise.

Know your terminal. PortMiami has 10 terminals spread across Dodge Island. Make sure you're parking at or near your correct terminal — it can be a long walk.

Off-site is fine. The shuttle services are reliable and free. If you're trying to save money, an off-site lot is a smart choice — just leave extra time.

Check your cruise docs. Your cruise line will specify which terminal you're departing from. Verify this the day before departure as it occasionally changes.

Credit cards accepted. All on-site garages accept major credit cards. Most off-site lots do too — confirm when booking.
