FAQs

How do I get from MIA airport to PortMiami?+

PortMiami is 13 km from MIA — 15-25 min by ride-share ($25-40 Uber/Lyft) or taxi ($35-45 flat rate). The cheaper Metrobus 150 + walk takes 60 min for $2.65 — only worth it for solo budget travellers without heavy luggage. Many pre-cruise hotels in Downtown/Brickell offer cruise-port shuttles for $10-15/person.

Should I stay pre-cruise in South Beach or Downtown?+

Downtown Miami / Brickell hotels are 5-10 min from PortMiami — ideal for an early-morning embarkation. South Beach is 20-25 min from the port — better for a full day exploring the beach + Art Deco district before sailing. For Disney Cruise Line, the family-oriented hotels at Doral or near MIA suit better.

Disney uses Terminal F. Virgin Voyages uses Terminal V. Confirm exact terminal at booking — they're spread across a 2 km strip.
