What are some good hotels that won't break the bank near the port in Miami? We are on Symphony of the Seas leaving September 26th, 2020!

We use Intercontinental Hotel on Chopin Blvd. Rooms with Bayview windows are great for watching the ships!

My favorite  is the Marriott Biscayne  Bay. The bay view rooms face the cruise port, and they have a pre-package available  that includes drinks (2), breakfast  and a ride to the terminal on cruise day.

Another vote for Intercontinental downtown! Just stayed there last week at a decent rate (under $190 including fees and tax) and it was worth every penny. We were upgraded to a water view room without even asking for it!

We are heading down from CT a week from Saturday for a little Celebrity escape! Thanks for the heads up on what looks like a couple of really nice hotels close to the port! Appreciate it!

Downtown Hilton here.  Staying in January.  Pros and Cons to all.  I went with brand loyalty tbh.  I did upgrade my room to a Bayview Junior Suite.

Define break the bank...hotels will range from $100-$1000 ......imho almost all the hotels in Miami near the port would break my bank.....when they hotel is as much as my cruise, that's a problem...lol

 

But sure, there are some nice hotels with great views.....

We stayed at the Kimpton Epic.  It’s right next to the Intercontinental, which was over our budget.  We always book through Priceline or HotWire and get much lower prices than if we booked through the hotel. The trade off is that you don’t know which hotel you’ll get, but you choose the area and the star rating and what you’re willing to pay and we’ve never been disappointed.

We stayed at the Epic last year before our cruise and we liked the hotel, had a great room with balcony overlooking the canal.  I think we booked through expedia and bundled with out flight so the cost wasn't too bad.

I got a fantastic rate (less than $100/night) at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami Airport East

It's about a 15 minute taxi ride to the port.

This is our first time in Miami and our first time cruising.  We are staying at the Intercontinental after hearing such wonderful reviews because I'm a little nervous as I don't know the city.  So I decided we would stay very close to the port.  We love the water view so we are OK with the $200 a night.  Maybe next time we will get a cheaper room since I will have some experience getting to and from the port.
