If you park in the surface lot E because of an oversized vehicle is there a shuttle to take you from that lot to terminal A or are you stuck walking? If you do have to walk the 1.4 miles from the lot to the cruise terminal are there sidewalks
technically there is not. I would recommend using uber or lyft for that. There are sidewalks but that is a long walk
If your cruise leave on Sunday, can you take your bags to the port on Saturday?
You cannot. The port is only open when the ship is there. Sorry.
@@ByteSizeCruises Thank you
I would love hotel recommendations! I don’t want to spend $300 plus for sleeping. I would like one with a breakfast in am too….
Ok. So the Hampton airport is gone. Nothing great but nice. The EB was great and breakfast was included. It has a really nice pool etc. and just a really nice outside area.
Have you ever stayed at the Downtown Miami Hilton?
yes. It is nice and very close to the port as well. If you can get a good deal on it, def worth it
Thank you
Miami isn’t just the largest cruise port in the US but in the world too. Impressive x
It’s so fun to see all the ships there
@@ByteSizeCruises we’re on a cruise in November and it’s our first time out of Miami. We’re in Scotland but we regularly watch the live stream of the port 😁
Maybe you can tell me my wife and I are doing a side by side in Miami both on Carnival will they be docked side by side in terminal F?
Carnival uses D, E and F so they could be at any of those Terminals, but they would be either right next to or one away from each other
Any comments about the La Quinta Miami Airport West? And also have you ever used ParkSleepFly? I'm driving down to Miami and wanted to park the car at a hotel rather than the port. Supposedly this hotel has a shuttle service.
That hotel is just ok. No issues. It’s not great but fine for the night. I have not used the park sleep fly though. I’ll ask around on that
Can you park in the Norwegian parking garage and walk to the ship with your luggage, I don't want to deal with drop off then park. Would rather just park and and go straight to luggage drop off?
Yep. You a absolutely can.
Hello can you please send me some recommendations for hotels in Miami. My cruise is in June. Thanks for sharing
Of course. Generally we stay at the EB hotel. It’s close to the airport and very nice. I also stay at life house little Havana a decent amount. This is in little Havana and much more immersive in the city. If you want something close to the port and high end the intercontinental is great
We are looking for a hotel near the airport and we want to have a basic dinner and shop for soda and wine to take on the ship. Where do you recommend?
so there are a few. We stay at EB a lot. It is really nice and they have a restaurant for dinner, but it is probably a little fancier than necessary. Breakfast is a buffet and really nice and is $20 a person. I have also stayed a few times at the holiday Inn and it is totally fine for a basic stay. There are a ton of food options walking and uber distance away.
If I decide to bring wine, do I have to purchase it at the port or can i bring it with me in my bag from outside the port and then go through tsa/security?
You can buy outside the port and bring with you. Just keep in your carry on
Do each terminal have bathrooms?
Absolutely.
How do you pay for parking if you wanna park at the port? I can’t find anything online. I’m going on carnival celebration.
You can pay right at the garage. Here is the website. www.miamidade.gov/portmiami/parking-information.asp
@@ByteSizeCruises thank you. I found that website I just didn’t read anymore of how the process works so I was park away from port and shuttle over. Any thoughts on that?
Is the Elser hotel ok?
Yes. It is excellent
I am trying to find a nice hotel that's close to the Port of Miami. Traveling with close to 30 people. So I am looking for ease. Any recommendations?
The ones really close are fairly expensive. The last one we stayed at was EB. It was reasonable. About 240 a night and about 15 min from the port. I’ll look for a few others for yoy
@@ByteSizeCruises thank you.
Hi! We will be flying pre cruise but will be arriving in Florida airport and will rent a room in Florida, we have to take a taxi or Uber, any suggestions for hotel or motel in Florida or do you suggest that we go from the Airport directly to Miami and get a room there in Miami thank you
Where in Florida are you flying into?
@@ByteSizeCruises Fort Lauderdale fll airport, thank you for your Help
Of course. I def recommend going to Miami. There is no real advantage of staying in Fort Lauderdale. The hotels are generally the same price and you will def hit more traffic staying in Fort Lauderdale the next day getting to the port
Can you do one of these videos for Port Everglades. Leaving a cruise from there in January
Of course. I’m on it
@@ByteSizeCruises thank you. i appreciate it 😁
Going MSC Seascape next week. Is it port C or AA/AAA?
C. The new one is not built yet
How was the embarkation with msc yacht club? can you check in whenever you want or is a time assigned?
It was awesome. You can check in whenever and we were on the ship with a drink within ten minutes
@@ByteSizeCruises good to know thank you!
Very informative! Any hotel recommendations for airport? My husband and I have a weekend Carnival cruise in September...first time in Miami
Thanks. We stayed at the EB. It was very nice. Not expensive and right at the airport.
@@ByteSizeCruises thank you for advising! We will look into this 👍💯
What does EB stand for @@ByteSizeCruises
When parking at the port for a Carnival cruise, do they have porters that take your baggage before you park? Or do you have to carry it from the parking area to the check-in area? Thank you
There are porters there and you can drop luggage off prior to parking
@@ByteSizeCruises thank you. Is there parking for a truck that my be too tall for the garage? We will be sailing on the Horizon next month.
@@alishamasucci8386 I am not sure on that sorry
@@alishamasucci8386I need to know that too!
How do you find a hotel with shuttle services to the port of Miami or are there any you recommend? This is our first cruise & your info was so good & clear I appreciate it! I’m a little nervous booking an Uber/Lyft bc I have booked on the night before (at gulf shores) and he dropped me mins before pick up, and the airport was an hour away and I couldn’t get another one in time & I missed my flight & had to get a different flight with no reimbursement. I was told by everyone down there “don’t ever trust Ubers or Lyfts here.” That experience makes me really nervous now when traveling not knowing, where I live I’ve never had that happen.
We stayed at the EB and most hotels have a shuttle but I use Miami at least 3-4 times a year and I always use Lyft. I schedule the night before and have never had an issue coming or going
Cost at the terminal.
Great info! You guys rock!
Thx so much!
We are going to florida for the first time next year. We are from denmark and will be in miami 4 days before our cruise. Any recommandations for hotels near the beach. Shopping and restaurants close by will be a plus too 😁
Of course. So a few options we love are Mondrian South Beach Hotel, that one is beautiful and reasonable, a little pricier would be the 1 hotel south beach, that one is outstanding, Nautilus Sonesta is also reasonable and all of those are in Miami Beach
@@ByteSizeCruises super. Thank you 😊 I will check them out. We are so excited for our trip to miami and our back to back cruise on msc seascape 😁
Has anyone stayed at the hotel in the Miami airport?
Which one?
@@ByteSizeCruises There is a hotel located in the Miami airports. I was thinking about cruising out of Miami in 2025. I so solo so I need to be safe. I was thinking about flying in the day before and just staying that at the airport.
What you are mentioning is not anything new that are already known and on google. What im looking for is other things other social media people dont mention! I am not wanting an uber or taxi! Other options availabl? Walking over the bridge to the ports, if at all possible? Sidewalk for ports? Trolley? How long to walk? You need to be ahead of the game!
Feel free to watch others. Something out there for everyone. We are only explaining what we did. Just our point of view. Thx for your feedback.
