How we check hotels

Miami Cruise Port Hotels is a small, independent guide for one job: finding the right hotel for the night before (or after) a cruise from PortMiami. PortMiami sits on its own island, so the question that matters is not just "which hotel is close" but "how do I get across the bridge with my bags on the morning of the cruise".

What we check for every hotel

• Distance and drive time to the cruise terminals, measured on a map.
• Cruise shuttle: free, paid or none, and the price, taken from the hotel's own website wherever possible. If we can't confirm it, we say so instead of guessing.
• Parking during the cruise (park-and-cruise), and what it costs.
• Airport shuttle where it matters.

Each hotel page lists the sources we used. The 29 hotels on this site were last checked on November 13, 2026.

What we don't do

We don't take payment from hotels to be listed or ranked, we don't invent reviews or ratings, and we don't use stock "best of" lists. Hotels are ordered by distance to the port unless a page says otherwise.
