My wife and I are planning a fly-and-cruise vacation. We’re flying to Miami and boarding a cruise ship right away. It seemed simple at first, but once we started calculating the time, we had some questions. How far is Miami International Airport from the Port of Miami, and how long does it actually take to transfer between the two? We want to plan our time correctly so that we don’t arrive at the last minute and worry about missing our boarding, especially if our flight is delayed or if there are long lines at baggage claim.
One more practical question: What’s the best way to get there? Is there an official shuttle between the airport and the port, or would it be better to book an Uber or taxi in advance? There are two of us, and we have quite a lot of luggage since it’s a ten-day cruise. We’d like the transfer to be comfortable rather than stressful.
We actually made the same connection last year – we flew to Miami and went straight onto a cruise. Are you staying for a while? Have you found a place to stay? Before the trip, I studied the information on the website https://miami-mia-international-airport.com/ in detail. Everything is explained pretty well there. The distance between MIA and the Port of Miami is about eight to nine kilometers. Under normal conditions, it takes fifteen to twenty minutes to drive between the two locations. We took an Uber, which turned out to be very convenient. We hopped in with two large suitcases and arrived at the port terminal in twenty minutes. It cost about fifteen to twenty dollars. There are also official shuttles, but they run on a schedule and make several stops. By the way, which cruise line are you sailing with, and what is your itinerary?
