Best Cruise Port in the US

With the port less than a mile from the airport, the cruise terminals here are the most convenient in the world. The taxi ride from the airport costs about $9.

There are 11 cruise ship terminals here that hold 52 cruise ships from 19 cruise lines. Over 3 million passengers travel through the port daily. Over 5300 ships a year call here.

The photo shows one of the check-in areas at a one of the cruise terminals. There are many such at the port.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:For cruising it is definitely the best port
  • Cons:There are a lot of ships in at the same time.
  • In a nutshell:If you are sailing transAtlantic or the Caribbean, or even the Panama Canal, leave from here instead of from Miami.
