wildflower881 Posted October 10, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2013 What hotel did you stay in while in Miami? I am looking for one that provides free transportation from the airport and to the Port. If that exists. I also wouldn't mind being close to something fun to do/see the evening we are there. Only one night. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted October 29, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 29, 2013 The Port of Miami (POM) is located in downtown Miami, and NONE of the hotels there offers either an airport or port shuttle -- but taxis are cheap! From MIA to downtown a cab will cost about $25+tip; from downtown hotels to POM will cost about $10-12+tip. If you want free airport and port shuttles you'll find them at hotels near the MIA airport -- two budget options often suggested are the La Quinta East and the Comfort Suites North, but there's nothing "fun" about those areas. You could shuttle back to MIA and catch the "Airport Flyer" bus for $2.35 each to South Beach - that place is all about fun! ;) If you prefer a taxi over the bus plan on a fare of about $35+. Post cruise a taxi from POM to MIA is a flat rate fare of $24+tip. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith1010 Posted October 29, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 29, 2013 If it's within your budget do consider the Hampton Inn. It is in downtown Miami and includes a nice breakfast. It is near Mary Brickell Village which has a lot of restaurants and is a fun place to walk around and dine inside or outside at some of the venues that have outside dining.

FlaGrl4Evr Posted October 30, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 30, 2013 We have not stayed here but did do some research prior to our last cruise out of Miami and this hotel was on our list. The cruise pkg offers a courtesy airport shuttle, suite, breakfast and a shuttle to the port. In addition, the hotel shuttle will take/return you from the Bayside area or surrounding area free of charge. They do not offer the return cruise shuttle so you would need to take a taxi or shuttle back to the airport. http://www.marriott.com/hotels/local-things-to-do/miahd-springhill-suites-miami-airport-east-medical-center/ .
