YOUR SOUTH FLORIDA CRUISE GUIDE

Close to home. A world to explore.

Miami · PortMiami

Compare itineraries departing from PortMiami and confirm the ship’s assigned terminal. Plan your route, drop-off or parking and your check-in window before leaving home.

Fort Lauderdale · Port Everglades

Port Everglades is a separate port from PortMiami. Check its terminal map, arrival instructions and parking options for your sailing; choose based on the whole trip, not just the closest port.

Leaving from South Florida

For local travelers, compare the drive, tolls, parking or round-trip transport. If someone in your group is flying in, allow arrival time before embarkation and a realistic buffer after disembarkation.

Which kind of escape feels right?

A shorter Bahamas escape

Consider a shorter sailing if you want to try cruising. Compare sea days, port time and the ship’s atmosphere. Private-island stops depend on the itinerary and conditions.

More time in the Caribbean

For a longer vacation, compare eastern and western Caribbean routes. Look at the actual ports and time ashore, rather than assuming the route name guarantees particular islands.

Travel farther afield

Our Mediterranean and Alaska sections are inspiration for a different trip. They do not imply departures from Miami or Fort Lauderdale; flights and an embarkation-city stay may be needed.

A comfortable base for everyone.

Inside, ocean-view or balcony

Compare natural light, outdoor space, location and total fare. Check the deck plan for nearby venues and confirm any obstructed view before choosing.

Families and several generations

Ask about occupancy, actual bed arrangements, connecting rooms and age policies. Confirm accessibility needs and children’s activity requirements for the specific ship.

An experience in your language

Ask which onboard services and excursions are available in Spanish on that sailing. A Spanish-language website or departure from Florida does not guarantee every activity is offered in Spanish.

Plan beyond the cruise fare.

Compare the total

Review taxes, port charges, gratuities, drinks, Wi-Fi, excursions and transport. Confirm what is included in the quoted total and what remains optional or payable separately.

Before you commit

Review the specific fare’s deposit, cancellation and change terms. Check travel-document requirements with the cruise line and official authorities for every traveler and port.

Embarkation day

Confirm online check-in, the terminal and the boarding deadline with your cruise line. Keep required documents and essentials with you rather than in checked luggage.
