Any local in Miami will tell you the safest and best place to park is at the port!!!!

Mariner does leave from T5 now. The garage is right there at the terminal and seems adequate for the number of passengers. We usually arrive between 9:30-10:00 (arrival times are not really enforced anymore), drop off our checked luggage with the porters, and then park on Deck 2 where we can use the convenient walkover right to the terminal. You will pay upon entering the garage.

Capt…..where in the heck are all these people parking???

Some will say it’s not necessary but what if you are one of the lucky ones and they ask for it during boarding? We took our granddaughters on cruises and were asked to produce a letter once on Disney and twice on Royal. And on one of the Royal cruises their mother was with us!! 😳😳 I personally would rather be safe than sorry…..

The Adventure sails from Terminal 5 which is on the other side of the basin!!! It has its own parking deck and if you are able to park on level 2 there is a walkover directly to the terminal, so no elevators needed!! You will pay to park as you enter the garage….

check with some of these shuttle companies. I believe some of them do go there….just be sure and pre-book if you do….

A taxi to MCO is going to cost you a lot and Uber pricing will be surging. Try looking into these shuttles BUT if you use them you must pre-book!!

I just wanted to say that I am very sorry you are so ill. I have read many of your posts over the years and enjoy your input immensely. I hope those who have been so rude to you will take a step back and think about how the world would be a better place if we were all a little kinder to each other. Please take care of yourself and please keep posting…..

Anyone local will tell you in Miami park at the port!!! Unless you are feeling lucky…..😳😳

You cannot apply a casino credit to a cruise that is already booked….unless your June cruise was a casino offer cruise and it has the same offer code as the new credit offer you have now

I have booked ALL my casino cruises through the Club Royale number no matter what type of offer it was…. Sorry you were given incorrect information or maybe they were unclear what you were asking…

You call the casino number and let THEM book your cruise and apply your credit….

For me personally…..I would never book a cabin that didn’t have other staterooms above it and below it…

at that time you will also need to select an arrival time to the terminal.

here are some of the most popular for the area….

check with these shuttles to see if any pick up at your hotel….

Taking your phone off of airplane mode was a huge mistake!! That is why you have such a big bill!!

This isn’t correct…..you can pay them when you book your cruise or you can call at anytime before sailing and pay them. They are NOT automatically added to your final payment. (as far as US bookings) We always pre-pay our gratuities….

you can call and pre-pay the gratuities now. They will not be automatically added to your final payment and yes if you cancel yes they will be refunded. We alway pre-pay our gratuities….

Usually around 9:30am…..

We always pre-pay our tips and will continue to do so. We also give an additional cash tip to our waiters, room steward and sometimes a special bar tender. No I am not happy with Royal increasing gratuities BUT the people who work so hard to make my cruise so wonderful have zero to do with these decisions. Just like they didn’t have anything to do with one day room service, the new dining room menus or the other cut backs. I choose to do what I do because it is the right thing for me. I do not have an opinion about what others choose to do that they feel is right for them.

You could take shuttles both to the ship and after the cruise back to the airport. Just be sure to PRE-BOOK them to assure you have a spot. Here are some of the popular shuttles for this port…
