Until the time when Terminals AA/AAA are complete, even MSC does not know which terminal they will be docking until the night before the ship arrives at the Port of Miami. It is printed on page 13: 08. MAIN STEPS FOR EMBARKATION in ones cruise documents which terminal they hope it might be. We had terminal F, when we got to POM it was Terminal C. Asked on board at Guest Relations if we would be returning to C (parked our car at Garage C) and was told they will know when the ship receives an email the night before docking. Terminal AA/AAA – MSC Cruises (2023) Terminal A – Royal Caribbean | The Crown of Miami Terminal B – Norwegian Cruise Line | The Pearl of Miami Cruise Terminal C – Disney Cruise Line | MSC Terminals D & E – Carnival, Princess Cruises, P&O, Holland America Line Terminal F – Carnival Cruises Terminal G – Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises Terminal J – small vessels and luxury cruises (Oceania Cruises, Regent Seven Seas) Edited September 26, 2023 by morpheusofthesea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I'll find out in December. Looking on Port of Miami's web site for a cruise schedule, however couldn't find one 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgwest Posted September 27, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Is it possible to walk to the designated MSC terminal (whichever one it may be) from the local Miami Beach hotels? Or is walking prohibited once inside the port area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted September 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I think it would be a very long walk, especially with luggage. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is walking prohibited once inside the port area? Miami Beach - especially the area along the beach - isn't exactly local to the port especially walking since you need to walk to downtown Miami and then cross back to Port Miami. I just used google maps to find the distance and walking time from the National Hotel (where my son and daughter in law had their wedding) right on the beach - to Port Miami is 5.6 miles and 2 hours 5 minutes crossing the Venetian Causeway (which I don't even like to drive over) into Miami and then backtracking to the port. Further south in Miami Beach the Savoy Hotel and Beach Club is 6.6 miles and 2 hours 28 minutes over the same route. I can't imagine doing that in the heat and humidity (even in the dry season) and with luggage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgwest Posted September 28, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Let me try again….. can a person walk from THE ENTRANCE OF THE PORT to a specific terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted September 28, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Yelling wasn't necessary. I replied about Miami Beach because that is what you asked: "is it possible to walk to the designated MSC terminal (whichever one it may be) from the local Miami Beach hotels?" The entrance to the port is walkable over the Port Boulevard Bridge from downtown Miami (not Miami Beach). Once in the port the terminals are walkable. The ships are lined up in a row along the north side of the island so the distance obviously depends on which terminal you are going to. Pre-Covid on the Meraviglia we left from Terminal D if I remember correctly. The new MSC terminal (now due to open next summer) will be at the far east end. See: https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles/port-of-miami-cruise-port-parking-address-terminal-amenity-info If you don't want to walk, you can take the free Coral Way Trolley: https://www.miami.gov/files/assets/public/v/1/document-resources/pdf-docs/trolley-maps/coral_way_trolley_map508.pdf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. BTW - no "yelling" was involved. 5 capitalized words for clarification. I should have said Downtown Miami in the first place rather than Miami Beach. (Brain fart!) If I were "yelling", the entire post would have been in caps. Edited September 28, 2023 by Bgwest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwfpb Posted September 28, 2023 #14 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Barring a walk to the terminal from a local hotel, is there any expedited way to get there instead of the usual cab/lyft/uber, etc? That is, does the coral trolley or perhaps a local bus have an express lane that's quicker? And is there any talk about extending the light rail to the port?! When were there in March, we spent 30 minutes from the time we crossed over to the port to the time we actually got out of the lyft at the terminal. Maybe that's the usual or maybe it was an extra busy day. Having lived in major cities, we're used to jumping on public transit or just walking.

I suggest posting this on the Florida Departures Board (https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/386-florida-departures/) if you haven't done so already where it will seen by more Miami locals and frequent cruisers out of Port Miami (I am just north of Fort Lauderdale and usually cruise out of Port Everglades). I would just title it "Downtown Miami to Port Miami Transportation" and include your questions and your recent experience. Good luck! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been seeking the information you posted for some time now but didn’t know where to look. We are at the Holiday Inn adjacent to the port so your information is perfect. Thank you again.
