Rare A&L_Ont Posted November 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2023 What do you consider reasonably priced to be? It would give people a staring point. I personally haven’t stayed at one with a shuttle but I sure they are out there. You might want to check the departure ports of call pages too. There might be better info there to help you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mandyleighflies Posted November 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2023 We found a Holiday Inn with a cruise shuttle for just under $300 a night per room (we needed two) for our cruise in mid-December. Keep in mind when looking for Miami hotel's near the port and downtown they are going to be more expensive than hotel's by the airport. The prices will also fluctuate with the time of year, ours is near a holiday so I knew it would get pricey. As A&L pointed out and I agree, what is a "reasonable" price for you and your group? Do your research and be open minded to Uber also, if you can find a budget hotel by the airport, you might be able to Uber to the port for less than a night downtown also. Good luck on your research!

There are thousands of hotels. I have 2n in SOBE for $500 in April. Why do you want a shuttle? There is Uber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in the financial district so it s a very safe and clear area within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The morning of the cruise we took their shuttle for a small fee.

TheDawg79 Posted November 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Intercontinental Miami is my go-to followed by Kimpton EPIC. Neither has a shuttle but both are in excellent areas, are amazing hotels, with the ability to easily take a Lyft/Uber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Scottdalfonso Posted November 27, 2023 #9 Share Posted November 27, 2023 The ones mentioned above are nice but can be a little pricy. We found the Yve hotel to be reasonable, a very short ride to the port ( you can see the ships from your rooms), right across from the Bayside marketplace which is a cool spot to walk around, do some shopping and eat. And the hotel had a small bar for breakfast before you leave. What we did find was that an Uber or cab was a little cheaper and easier than a shuttle from there.

Rare Awjeez317 Posted November 27, 2023 #10 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Doesn’t matter how close you are really haha. You’ll still be in cruise port traffic for an hour. That cruise port is crazy. We had a LOVELY time staying at The Gabriel. It’s like…RIGHT there and they have an amazing roof/terrace pool and some great views of the port and ships. We watched the Virgin Ship leave port from the balcony and it was really amazing. Definitely pricey so we used HHonors points. Worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted November 27, 2023 #11 Share Posted November 27, 2023 The cheapest hotels are by the airport for the most part. The shuttles are arranged and paid seperately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcgrumpy Posted November 27, 2023 #12 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) I've stayed at a couple that had shuttles, Holiday Inn Port of Miami, and YVE. The shuttles weren't free though. It was quicker and cheaper to use Uber or Lyft. Like others have said, what do you consider reasonable and what time of year? Prices can fluctuate by a lot.

loman Posted November 27, 2023 #13 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Miami Brickell Downtown This one is highly rated , but dont know about a shuttle.

George C Posted November 27, 2023 #14 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Doubletree is great view of ships Uber is less than 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted November 27, 2023 #15 Share Posted November 27, 2023 SAS Transportation has shuttles that pick up from FLL and also a fairly long list of Fort Lauderdale hotels (but no Miami hotels). They charge $15 per person each way. It might be more reasonable to stay in Fort Lauderdale and use SAS. I believe flights to FLL are also less than Miami.

I've been considering them for a pre-cruise stay next November, and I haven't found anyone else mention them yet. Did you use the complementary shuttle/chair/umbrella service to their South Beach location, by any chance? Since I've never been to Miami, it feels like I should at least experience South Beach! 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will say that you are right…if you’ve never been to south beach and you have the time you should definitely go. People watching is pretty amazing and there are some amazing restaurants if you’re looking for a nice dinner place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
