Port Miami traffic

[mamie]

Hi Everybody,

I apologize if this has been asked before. I heard Port Miami has heavy traffic and this will be my first cruise out of Miami. I plan on using an Uber from the south beach area. I have a check in time at 11:30 am on March 5, 2022. What time do you suggest I leave for the port? 

Thanks in advance!!

I'd say call the Uber around 11am and you'll be fine.  It's only about a 20 minute ride to the Port from the South Beach area.

I've never had an issue with traffic at Port Miami. South Beach is a quick drive to the port -- probably a half hour tops with traffic, but could be as little as 15 minutes. 

Maybe I've just been lucky but the port has always seemed to move traffic through somewhat quickly. Not dissimilar to an airport.

Watch out for local events that may affect traffic. 
 

Yesterday morning, the Miami Marathon screwed things up badly.

Make sure you plan for a few extra minutes with a rideshare.  We had an Uber driver who had no idea how to navigate within the port to the cruise terminal and we ended up over in the cargo ship area!

We are coming from a hotel near the FLL airport. Any concerns with traffic down to the port?

We drove from FLL to Miami in October. Left at 11:00 for noon check in. Parked in garage by 11:30. We were in the building checking in at 11:45.
