  • It's been a while since we've gone on a cruise but now we're headed to the Caribbean on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas out of Miami. At this port, we sail out of Terminal A. Because the Miami cruise port is so large, I've put together a video to help guide you through terminal A and onto the ship.
    Hope you find this video helpful and hit like if you do.
    Thanks for letting me ramble and please remember to subscribe to the Rambling with Phil UA-cam channel to see more of our adventures on the Oasis of the Seas and other travel videos like this one. Also ring that bell to be notified of new Oasis of the Seas videos when they're released!

    You can drop luggage off first. Super convent drive around garage, follow drop off signs and porters are lined up to grab bags right out of trunk. Then do a u-turn into garage.

    @Rambling With Phil, there is a trolley to Dodge Island. I've seen some video people walking from one port to another and where there is sidewalks, so people can choose to stroll and take their time and go the cheaper route. However, your videos did not show or mention anything about other options other than driving.

    Hey what you suggest. I live in Orlando, do you think it's better to drive the day of the cruise or fly in then take a taxi?..we are a family of 6.

    You said the box to drop off the tickets? Do you mean when you are finished and leaving? Or you hold on to ticket the whole time? Ty

    • @RamblingWithPhil
      @RamblingWithPhil  Рік тому

      I meant you use the box after your cruise. When you are leaving to go home, you use the “box” to pay for parking. It makes it faster when you get to the exit gate.

    If the Terminal A parking garage is full, can I go to the nearest garage to park? Or do I have to use the other garage for RCI cruises, near Terminal G?

    • @RamblingWithPhil
      @RamblingWithPhil  5 місяців тому +1

      I have never experienced this myself but according to the Royal Caribbean blog, if the garage is full, they will direct you to another terminal for parking and then provide a shuttle back to Terminal A if that happens.

    Can I ask about what time you arrived? It seemed to have no lines for boarding at all!

    • @RamblingWithPhil
      @RamblingWithPhil  Рік тому

      We got there around noon if I recall. We usually try to get there early enough to have a (free) lunch so that we're not too full for dinner. It also let's us enjoy the ship before everyone gets aboard.

    Can you pay in advance to park at port or is it first come first serve. any advice?

    • @RamblingWithPhil

      Unfortunately, I have not found any information that indicates that you can pay for parking in advance at the Miami Cruise Port Terminal A. Sorry I can't be of more help.

    I couldn’t hear what the guy said when you were grabbing your parking ticket. Did he say you pay now or when your cruise is over?

    • @RamblingWithPhil
      @RamblingWithPhil  Рік тому

      You pay when the cruise is over. There are kiosks when you get off the elevator.

    How much is for parking ? Do you have to reserve ?

    • @RamblingWithPhil
      @RamblingWithPhil  Рік тому

      We didn't reserve parking - we just showed up. According to the Port Miami website, the cost for parking is $25/night for cruises of 6 days or more and $28/night for cruises 5 nights or less.

    hey phil, there is a way to arrive to cruise terminal from airport using some public transportation? thanks

    • @RamblingWithPhil
      @RamblingWithPhil  Рік тому +1

      There is apparently a public transportation option but I've never taken it since we always drove to the port. I would suggest Google-ing public transportation to Miami cruise port to see the most up to date information on your options as I'm sure they are constantly changing.

      I believe that terminal A at the Miami cruise port is all Royal Caribbean. As for how I found out the terminal, I think it was in our cruise info somewhere. I don't know that it was obvious though.
