Cruise Parking At
Port of Miami

For those who drive to the port, parking will cost you about $20 per day. Therefore, if your cruise is 5 days long, expect to pay $100.

Additionally, it is recommended that you tip the porters who collect your luggage $1 per bag.

When we first sailed out of Miami, we were blessed to have relatives in Fort Lauderdale. We drove down from McDonough, Georgia to Fort Lauderdale and had one of my brothers drive us to the port.

It happened to be a 7-day Caribbean cruise and so we saved a whopping $140! Wow!

If you have relatives or friends in the area, consider leaving your car with them. Your family will save some money on your Caribbean cruise.

Alternatively, you may consider parking away from the port. For our second Miami Caribbean cruise, we parked off base and paid less than $50 for a 5-day cruise.

Search the Internet for parking at the Miami Cruise Port.

I hope that the information above will help you prepare for a fun-filled Caribbean cruise from the Port of Miami.

Go have a memorable time and tell us about it when you return.
