PortMiami Parking Questions

[Safe77]

Sailing on a 10-day cruise out of PortMiami in early November. I have two questions about parking at the port:

 

1. Have you ever had difficulty finding a parking spot in one of the lots or garages when parking for a cruise?

 

2. There is an open-air parking lot across from Terminals E/G. Is this available for cruise parking, or only short-term parking?

 

Thanks in advance for your considered responses!

No.  The garages are large and there is plenty of room.

I don't know.  Perhaps another CC member will be able to provide you with an answer.

Yes, the surface lot E is for cruise parking. For example, it is the recommended lot for MSC Seashore and Carnival Conquest out of Terminal E.

Just a warning if considering leaving your car in a surface lot anywhere in south Florida:  they get hot  especially during the low (i.e. hot) season (May through October).  If you want to return to a car with a comfortable temperature, chose a parking garage.

Thanks to all of you who responded. I greatly appreciate your help and your advice. In one week and three hours, wife and I will be boarding the MSC Divina, our favorite ship!! I'm beginning to don my cruise attitude!

I recently saw the Divina at Terminal C which has a parking garage. So I think you were asking where to go in case Garage C is full, correct?

It should not be full, but yes, Garage D and lot E are backup options!

SteerageJoe: No, my Divina cruise departs from Terminal E, according to the ticket. We've always sailed her from Terminal C in the past. That's why I was seeking other options to the deck across from C.

Ok, thanks! Have a great cruise!

Thanks, we will. We've never had anything less than a fantastic cruise with MSC!!

Thank you.  I appreciate your kind words.  There are other CC members who have much more cruise experience than I do.
