sunnydaysmile Posted November 14, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2021 We are thinking of taking Amtrak train from Tampa to Miami and was wondering about hotels near port. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted November 14, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2021 There are always current threads on this board about hotels in Miami. If you provide specifics (date, budget, important amenities, etc.) you'll get more helpful responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanBill Posted November 14, 2021 #3 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Also, rates are highly dependent on dates. Go to google maps, find Miami, zoom in to the downtown area, search "hotels" and plug in your dates. It will show hotels and costs on the map. Select each one and look at the review ratings. Pretty easy way to find an acceptable price and well-rated hotel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cienfuegos Posted November 15, 2021 #6 Share Posted November 15, 2021 The Amtrak Miami station is located in the western area of the metro. Cabs are readily available at train time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took Amtrak from the DC area to Fort Lauderdale back in October. It was a great trip and I would love to do it again!

Working 2 cruise again Posted March 21, 2022 #9 Share Posted March 21, 2022 We are coming from Columbia SC so our total train tickets to Miami and back were right at $300 with insurance. Between fuel prices and the parking we would spend more than that driving down there. So we figured we would try the train. We arrive the night before the cruise at 630pm. The only thing I worry about is getting back to the train by 1110 the day we depart the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMTRAK station in Miami is only a little farther from the port than MIA airport - figure about 20-25+ minutes in a cab/Uber/Lyft. As long as you are off the ship by about 9:00 or so you should have plenty of time to make your train. Have a great cruise! 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
