Moving between terminals at Port of Miami

I'm B2B cruising on two different cruise lines, so Sunday I'll be arriving at the Carnival terminal and transferring to the Royal Caribbean terminal.

Though less than half a mile away, I don't really want to haul multiple suitcases that distance by myself. Suggestions on getting from one terminal to the other? I'm sure that short of a trip would not make a taxi driver too happy...

You maybe able to get the porter to take them over there for you but you should give them a very nice tip.

My current thought is to try to find a shared shuttle van with enough space for one person and two big bags, and see if they'll take me to the other terminal for five bucks. It's at least in the direction of the exit, I think.

Or I might head downtown for a civilized breakfast before heading to the new terminal. Debarkation day breakfast (or lunch on the next ship) is always a madhouse, I might decide its worth the extra uber and meal cost for something more peaceful.

Well sounds like you have options.

If it was me I would just get a porter to help.

I don't think it is a half a mile anyway.

I walk the terminals regularly when we visit Miami and also when we have been in transit.

I once hauled my stuff from the RCL terminal to the NCL terminal, never again!

I ended up seeing a cab going back after dropping someone off, and offered him 10 bucks to take me down to the terminal. He was happy with the short and unmetered trip since he didn't wait in line for the pickup.

The walk was probably just under half a mile. It didn't look like there were sidewalks quite the whole way but the roads weren't busy at around ten. Still didn't look like a fun walk with multiple bags.

Glad it worked well for you.

Enjoy the second cruise.
