I'm truly very sorry this happened. However, its pretty common in this part of town, and common at these off port lots that have ZERO security come late at night. Hence my negative tone when it comes to off site parking in Miami.

 

I wish there was a better and cheaper solution for cruise parking.

 

To follow up, we just got our estimate for repair...$3,300!!!

 

(And this is ONLY THE CAR, not any of our "stuff" that was taken since that is covered under our homeowners, not auto policy).

Put me in the unfortunate "My car got broken into at Port of Miami Cruise Parking . Com" category...

 

Two broken windows, scratched doors and a bunch of stuff taken. They had the time to scrounge through the pockets of EVERY piece of clothing left in a duffle bag (out of sight behind the back seat in an SUV), rummage through all the info in the glove box, and even go into the compartment in the back and steal my hitch and accessories.

 

DO NOT USE THIS LOT. The cop who wrote up the report said they regularly get calls about break-ins there.

[quote name='royalcruz']There is nothing exactly on the way but the closest places to stop are on 17th St: CVS, Publix, Total Wine, Walgreens. CVS is probably the smallest and least crowded, so less time on the taxi meter. They have a small wine aisle, so if you just drink basic American or Australian wines you will find something.[/quote]

Thanks.

We will be flying into FLL the morning of our cruise and will need to pick up a couple bottles of wine (nothing special) and a case of water to take onboard.

We plan to take a taxi to the port.

Is there a place to stop on the way?
