jancl57 Posted September 16, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2021 We will be cruising out of Miami in March 2022 on the Joy. We will be driving from Jupiter. Is there parking at the port so we don't have to deal with shuttles? if yes, how much per day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted September 16, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2021 There is a parking structure connected to the terminal (and I assume that the Joy will sail out of the NCL terminal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnac767 Posted September 18, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2021 We've used Premier Cruise Parking in Miami for several cruises. They charge $6.95 a day, have a covered parking garage, and shuttle right to baggage drop-off. Always had great service with them, and it's much cheaper than parking at the port. Don't confuse them with Premiere Parking, which has horrible reviews.

Diver2014 Posted September 18, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I would not recommend any off site parking in Miami. Parking at the NCL terminal is $22 per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No charge; it's part of the service. They run almost non-stop on departure day. We just parked the car and the shuttle showed up. When you get back their shuttles show up outside the exit of the terminal every few minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No advance reservations because they aren't necessary. Show up after the ship has disembarked returning passengers (10:30 or so) and you will have your choice of the spaces they just vacated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob brown Posted September 25, 2021 #14 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I am wondering why several people say parking at the port is more secure than a downtown parking garage. Have some of you actually had or heard of any bad experiences there? I am not really that concerned with leaving my 12 year old Prius at a downtown garage, but may reconsider if it is really risky... If I was really concerned, or owned some exotic car, I would just arrange a ride to and from the port... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I link reviews from late 2019/early 2020 but considering that cruising stopped soon thereafter they are as current as you can get. Also make sure to check out on-line reviews including Yelp.

Diver2014 Posted September 26, 2021 #16 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I worked in downtown Miami for 13 years, on Biscayne Blvd. I rode the Metrorail to work because of all the car break ins at the parking garages. Seems every day someone in our building or adjacent buildings had their cars broken into. Even parking on Biscayne Blvd, in front of Bayfront Park, was a field day for car thieves and break ins. The fenced lots near the Arsht Center also have a reputation of thieves breaking into cars on a continuous basis. Some people may have been lucky. I had the ignition switch pounded with a sledge hammer in my car by someone trying to hot wire to steal it. Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link still works for me but they have raised their rates since the last time we sailed out of Miami. It's still half the price of parking at the pier and only one mile away. Once you click on the dates, you will be taken to Global Airport Parking website to complete the reservation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt Puddin Posted October 5, 2021 #20 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Do I need reservations for parking at the port? I don’t want to use a secondary company based on a couple of comments, I like the security at the port. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby114 Posted October 5, 2021 #21 Share Posted October 5, 2021 There is no option for making a reservation at the Port Of Miami. If you arrive after 10:30AM most cruisers from the previous sailing have already left. There is plenty of spaces available after that time.
