NCL @ Miami Cruise Terminal

[ChiefMateJRK]

I know that Terminal B is NCL's new terminal in Miami, and that will be the disembarkation terminal for any sailing when only one NCL ship is in port.  I also know that, on occasion, there will be two NCL sailings from Miami on the same day.  How do we confirm the terminal assignments on these days?

put in a date, select cruise

 

I put the date as December 22 and it shows the Pearl at B and the Gem at C

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I just discovered that the Pearl will be at C and not B when I sail.  REALLY good to know!

 

How the heck does NCL expect us to know this stuff?  The eDocs just list the address for port of Miami.

 You just look for your ship when you're pulling up to the port! 🙂

Yeah, that's fantastic advice.  I'll just tell my Uber/Lyft driver to cruise around the port until I spot my ship.  I'm sure we'll find it after two or three laps.  Did I mention that my last Uber driver in Miami didn't speak English?  Once we finally found out it was "B," he seemed to be able to understand and get us there.

 

For those who haven't sailed out of Miami, please note that the port is huge and it is anything but obvious how to find and get to a specific ship.  I'm guessing @KSSS2013knows this, but is trying to be funny.

 You are correct....but you might be able to guess by looking at the port Webcam before you head down there.

This one?

Port Miami Webcam - Cruise Ship and Scenic Web Cam in Miami Florida

 

I can't see how that would be any help.  Or, is there another?

 

Why would anybody want to "guess?"  This was a serious request for useful information.  Fortunately, @shof515was very helpful.  Thanks again shof.

  This is a serious response, but Shof's may be better.

 

  By looking at the webcam you should be able to cross reference the ship location with the port on Google Maps.

Or just look at marinetraffic.com and see what ship is at what berth.  I'm fairly certain there are signs also...

Signage in Miami is excellent

Yes.  The signage for finding a specific terminal was excellent.  That doesn't help if you don't know what terminal your ship is at.

Will there be signs that say "Norwegian Pearl this way>>?"

Would the digital portion of those not show the ship names?

Thanks.  It looks like this would work as well:

It didn't when we were there in January.  Also, notable, they didn't when the person took that picture.

ok, my last time there was over 18 months ago, I don't recall if I even paid close attention to those signs or if I just let the driver get me there.  Plus, I was on the Joy, which would have gotten terminal B if there were multiple ships in port (leaving the 'auxiliary' terminal for a smaller ship.  I'll be sailing from there again 2 months from tomorrow...

I used to assume that an Uber/Lyft driver in a Port area would know where I needed to go (I was wrong in January).  We had to roll down a window and ask a port employee where the NCL Sky was.

Nah, I'm not doing that.  I may post occasionally as the mood/Scotch moves me.  The pack?  Well, now that's a long story......🤣

When we disembarked Joy on October 28th, I was surprised we were at Terminal C.  Terminal B, the new NCL terminal, did not have a ship.  Not sure why they had us at C🤔

This is what we do. We look up the ship and we can see the overhead view of *exactly* where each ship is. 

[bluesea777]

Today (Nov 27, 2023) 7 ships are docked in Port of Miami, one more is coming in, making it 8 !!!

 

NCL Viva in at Terminal B and NCL Sky is at Terminal V.

I came back to this thread to post this same information!  Full house at Miami today, I guess NCL had to rent V from Virgin so the Sky could dock...
