zdad59 Posted November 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) I'm going to bet this is already posted somewhere, but I've never found it on CC. I see a lot of posts about traffic in Port of Miami, how crowded a particular port stop might be, etc. What I do for my group (I am the over planning, everyone gets a laminated itinerary type) is make note of what ships will be in port with us each stop. For example, when we sail on Allure of the Seas on Feb 17, 2019, there will be five other ships embarking with us that day in Miami. (Disney Magic, Carnival Magic, Allure Of The Seas, Riviera, Norwegian Getaway, Carnival Horizon) So we are expecting a very busy day at the port, and thusly plan to get there super early, to try and beat the crowds. The web site I use for this search is CRUISETT. The link can be found below. I hope this helps others with their cruise planning activities. (Board monitors, if this can be found elsewhere, feel free to move it or guide folks to it. If I am violating a rule posting this link, I can remove it) http://ports.cruisett.com/schedule/United_States_Of_America/426-Miami_Florida/February_2019/ (This link shows Port of Miami for Feb 2019. To find another port and date just click on the large CUISETT logo at the top, then select the port you want to search then the date.)

zdad59 Posted November 25, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I just noticed too that the port data shows the "port load" or "approximately how many people will be there" for that day. For example, on our Embarking day, Feb 17, 2019, there will be ~20,736 passengers boarding ships in the POM that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted November 25, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) It's the site I've used for while. Last 3 cruises including ones I'm on now(B2B) it doesn't show all the cruise ships in the Island ports. Even yesterday were supposed be only one in port and there was 2 other ships in port...

annie99 Posted November 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Amazing All I have to do is click on my ship after the date I have chosen and it shows the passenger loads for each port on the itinerary.Grand Cayman is going to be packed. I think I will change my plan. Thank you ,thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie99 Posted November 25, 2018 #8 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Darn I just cross checked with Cruise Timetables and you are right. They don’t match for every port. Great idea though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-leg5 Posted November 25, 2018 #9 Share Posted November 25, 2018 There are several sites that give this information but none are 100% accurate. Sometimes these are published a long time in advance and not updated when schedules, or circumstances change - I am not talking about last minute emergency changes. That said, I agree it can be a good idea to get an indication of what may occur - just be prepared to check two or three sites to get a better estimate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cft8 Posted November 25, 2018 #10 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I tend to just Google the websites for the port authority for each stop. Usually I can find the schedule. Even ports in other countries tend to have an English version. But, for ports that I can't find, I'll make note of these resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted November 25, 2018 #11 Share Posted November 25, 2018 This site use to be 100% accurate on my 4-6 cruises a yr, lately some hit and miss. Too bad was always reliable before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious...can you name what other ships are there? I wonder if there are certain cruise lines they don't track of if its just a poorly managed database on CruiseT's part.

BTW Cruisecal.com also shows one ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
