Miami hotels cater to cruise passengers. After all, with millions of people sailing from the Port of Miami each year, there are a huge number of people that need a place to stay before they embark on their cruise.
Of course, as the world’s busiest cruise port, Miami attracts passengers from around the world and around the country. Many of those people fly into the airport. From there, they have to figure out how to get to their hotel and the cruise port.
We’ve covered Miami cruise transportation options in-depth on Cruzely. For many people it’s easy enough to take a taxi or Uber/Lyft.
Still, if you are staying at a hotel, many offer shuttles from the airport and then will offer a shuttle to the cruise port on the day of your cruise. It’s a nice perk, and best of all, makes it one less thing to worry about on cruise day. Simply book the right hotel, and have your transportation taken care of.
We’ve covered the details of many Miami hotels that have both airport and cruise port shuttles below. Note that these hotels are all located near Miami International Airport (MIA), which is roughly 15-20 minutes to the Port of Miami.
