Miami Airport info

[PC Skier]

Our NCL arranged flight gets into Miami at 1am.  transfer picks us up at 8:30 am how is the waiting area near baggage claim, are there seats?

We were just at JFK and they have removed seating because of covid

I flew in 2 weeks ago and there was plenty of seats.

I would reserve a hotel room for the night and cancel the NCL transfer in the morning. Why would you want to spend the night in the terminal sitting on an uncomfortable chair. Not a great way to start your cruise vacation!

Lots of hotels in the MIA area (Hampton Inn Blue Lagoon and La Quinta East are two economical options often suggested on these boards) - doubt they will be running shuttles late enough for you, but if not, a taxi will be cheap.   Ask for a late check-out, sleep, shower and get to the port about lunchtime and you will feel much better than sleeping at the MIA airport.  Cab to POM the next day will run about $30+tip (for the cab, not per person like the cruise line transfer fee).

There are so many easily located hotels, even one inside the airport. You want to sit on chair for 8-hours? The airport is a 20-min drive to the port. You can easily do a rideshare that morning at whatever time you like.
