BTB MSC to Carnival

So excited! Leaving on MSC Seaside Saturday October 13 for seven nights following with Carnival Glory for seven nights. First time trying this, trust it will work, as long as no hurricane delays! We drive to Miami from Gulf Coast so said to husband may as well make it two weeks as opposed to one. Should be fun. Anyone else ever done this?

This summer we sailed 2 weeks on the Seaside. We were scheduled to sail on the Celebrity Equinox immediately after the MSC cruise. As luck would have it, the Equinox was docked immediately in front of the Seaside in Miami. The morning of disembarkation we grabbed our bags, walked off one ship and walked about 500 feet to embark on another. It was seamless!

You may not be quite as fortunate by having the ships right next to one another. You may need to grab a cab or Uber to get you from one terminal to another. My quick calculations on Google Maps shows the MSC terminal (F) about half a mile from the Carnival terminal (D)

Have fun

Hope you have a fantastic time!!!! A plus doing a b2b on two different ships:

No repeat of the menu's

and

No repeat of the shows/entertainment

After Seaside, Glory will be a disappointment. ;p

I disagree. Just very different. We had a wonderful time on the Glory. Yes, a very different atmosphere, but it will be a fun journey.

Wasn’t sure about distance from one port to the other - half a mile - not bad - thank you Brian for that research. Am aware that both experiences will be very different - the “spice of life.”

There was someone on MSC YC last week that was going to Carnival for this week.

Certainly I think he should have done Carnival first followed by MSC YC.. Maybe he is on the CC and will respond

Terminal F and D seem not far away, only one ship (terminal E) in between. A luggage cart is all what's needed.

Not true. There is a Disney terminal, Terminal 10 and Terminal G between. There is not a sidewalk all the way there. You will be "swimming upstream" as you will be going against the flow of one-way traffic. Doable... but maybe not the safest, smartest decision.

Terminal G is on the west side (behind) of Terminal F. Earlier this year we picked a friend up from Port of Miami and strolled all the way from the South Parking Lot (Port Administration) to the taxi stand across Terminal B and back. It took us 20(+-) minutes one way without carrying luggage. You can walk between the Terminals and N Cruise Blvd, there is no traffic just parked delivery trucks and cars.

We're doing something similar in January. Going on 7 day Allure of the Seas and then MSC Divina for 11 nights. We don't know how we're going to get from one terminal to the next, but I guess we'll figure that out when we are there. I'm assuming it will be quite a distance from Terminal F to the new Royal Caribbean terminal.

In January are you going on Divina for 10 or 11 nights?

The new Royal Caribbean Terminal is Terminal A and located at the east side of Port of Miami. That is indeed far away from Terminal F.

Hi cellfree......we are going on a 10 night Divina cruise on January 31st..........can't wait :)

Yes we went from Princess in Port Everglades to RCL Liberty of the seas in Miami.

We are doing the 11 night January 20th. Have never cruised on MSC and am looking forward to it. The Divina looks like a beautiful ship.

Last year travelling on my own I did 7 nights with Celebrity then got off the ship and walked to the very next dock and boarded the Divina for another 7 nights. It was so simple. I had a great time on both ships.

Home from our b2b - MSC Seaside to Carnival Glory - worked great - loved both ships - no problems - got off Seaside at Terminal F and walked to Glory (passed Horizon on way) pulling out luggage with us - wasn't a bad walk - we were walking against the traffic - sidewalks weren't always available but was ok - doing it again in January from MSC Divina to Carnival Magic - now that we know it works out cannot wait.

In Jan. we did Seaside 7 days out of Miami. Got off that one and drove to

Port Canaveral,stayed overnight(did our laundry) and got on the Oasis . Couldn't wait to get on the Oasis after our worst cruise ever on Seaside!!!

Different ports.  Not quite the same thing OP's asking about.
