Answered by TheTroyers on January 28, 2023
A: depends on customs and the coast guard. I've boarded the ship as early as 1030am and as late as 130pm due to surprise inspections from the coast guard and other things
Answered by cortneyb on December 14, 2022
A: You will pick an arrival time when you check in online for your cruise. The boarding time may be a bit after that. We had a 10:00 AM arrival time last week and boarding began at 11:00, starting with suite guests and those with status with the cruise... line. They then called groups based on arrival times.See More
Answered by jeffreyschill on December 14, 2022

A: Do a cruise transfer via the cruise line you’re with. Or scheduling an Uber is also easy and there will be a bunch around Miami when there are cruise ships in port
Answered by strauss3396 on December 2, 2022
A: why don't you contact the cruise line, and get your airport transfer to the ship through them.
Answered by LifeIsCruising on December 2, 2022
A: We flew in the day before so we just took a taxi to our hotel then an Uber the morning of. However on the way home we took a taxi straight to the airport—it was a set rate of like $17. Right out of baggage claim at MIA airport, there are taxis lined... up ready to take you wherever you need to go!See More

A: I have just gone to the cab stand. Told them the ship
Answered by Roberta1953 on December 3, 2022
A: I agree with everyone, do the cruiseline transfer since this is your first time in Miami and you are not familiar with Uber. I am guessing you are flying in on the day of your cruise, so don't take a chance on late airlines and do the cruise transfe... r.See More
Answered by crusin4gramma on December 3, 2022
A: Normally the itinerary is available within the days leading up to the cruise in the cruise lines app.

A: check for cruise planner uploads on royal Caribbean cruise blog to see cruise planners from previous sailings you'll get an idea of onboard events.
Answered by SandraLTTP on November 21, 2022
A: We typically take a cab back to MIA. It runs about $40. Lots of folks use Uber or Lyft. The cruise line shuttle is dependable, but with an early flight it may not be the best choice.
Answered by jeffreyschill on November 12, 2022
A: cab, uber or lyft. hope and pray the lines aren't bad in mia. we couldn't get off back in March due to customs until 9am, traffic was bad, got to the airport about 10, then tsa was about another hour (precheck was just as bad)

A: We loved Mignonette. It’s a few blocks away from the Hilton by the port.
Answered by redcar25431 on October 24, 2022
A: If you carry off the ship your own luggage, you can be in the first group to disembark. No tags, just walk off when called. The only drawback is that more and more people are doing this and it seems to me it often ends up in a slow cluster weaving th... rough the ship to leave. Otherwise you'll be assigned a time to leave and called when ready to exit.See More

Answered by bmastin67 on September 23, 2022
A: That is likely not a good idea. There is zero room for any issues. That is a large airport. Security line can take a while.
Answered by jpmato16 on September 24, 2022
A: You literally have to be first one off then you have traffic navigating big airport,then baggage check if you disembarking with your luggage potential customs and immigration sometimes it’s limited staff toooooooo close for comfort

A: Holiday Inn Port of Miami is great. Perfect location before a cruise. Not sure how it compares in price to Rodeway Inn. Holiday Inn probably more. It is still budget conscious.

A: No. that's way too tight. I would not book before 1pm!
Answered by crusin4gramma on July 12, 2022
A: Too tight in my opinion. would have to walk off with no port delays and taxi and have everything go right.
Answered by dkantouth on July 12, 2022
A: I have a 12noon flight out of MIA and that's pushing it. Also walking off with luggage.
Answered by cwren6 on July 20, 2022
A: Same here, we are not risking it. We decided to eat breakfast not stress. Booked a hotel in FLL with airport shuttle and fly out the next day.
Answered by LizJuan on July 12, 2022
A: Absolutely, especially if you have TSA pre-check, which helps. But if you get off the ship at earliest debarkation, you should be fine regardless. I had a flight that left at 10:30am with no issues.
Answered by DexterBatsMom on July 30, 2022
A: High probability you will be fine. Of course the cruise line recommends later, but they also recommend you only book their excursions so the ship doesn't leave without you. some folks just have no risk appetite.
Answered by cbyron3 on July 22, 2022
A: Yes but keep up with the requirement changing by summer’s end. Let’s hope
Answered by Tropicgal on July 10, 2022
A: traveladventure is partially right. Yes all cruisers will need either a negative test or proof of recovery in 90 days. If negative test it varies when you take based on your vaccination status & where you are cruising. no more 3 days before and ca... n be taken day of cruise. Standard PCR test can take upto 3 days so most take another type NAAT or an Antigen test.See More
Answered by dkantouth on July 9, 2022
A: Check your cruise requirements for your cruise. We don’t know your sail date or port, so we can’t give you an accurate response.
Answered by jpmato16 on July 9, 2022
A: Unfortunately for now, you have to present a negative result statement in order to board. And it has to be at least two days before sailing.

Answered by subman738 on March 9, 2022
A: There used to be luggage storage at the airport before COVID. Do not know if still being offered. Google search the airport to find out. Two places not to be missed: Bayside Market with nice shops, great restaurants, and live music on Saturdays (COVI... D?), on the waterfront with nice views. And Calle Ocho (8). Both a short inexpensive taxi ride from the airport (ask the price first). Have fun.See More
