Sailing from PortMiami
PortMiami is the world's cruise capital, full stop. More ships, more lines and more staterooms sail from here than anywhere else, which means one practical thing for you: on any given week, Miami has the widest spread of prices in the country, from $299 Bahamas quickies to new-flagship debuts. When lines compete this hard in one harbor, buyers win.
The port is also where the industry shows off. Royal Caribbean's Icon class, MSC's World class and Virgin's adults-only ships all homeport here, and the terminal row itself, a mile of glass buildings facing the downtown skyline, is the closest thing cruising has to a flagship street.
Season: Year round, the highest weekly sailing count of any port on Earth.

Parking at the port
Official garages sit directly across from each terminal at about $22 per day, and for Miami that convenience is usually worth it: the port sits on an island causeway where shuttle-lot logistics eat time. If you do want to save, park and cruise lots in downtown Miami start around $12 per day with a short shuttle hop.
Where to stay the night before
Downtown and Brickell hotels are 10 minutes from the port and let you do a South Beach evening first. Miami airport hotels run cheaper and most offer cruise shuttles. Book the night before any peak-season Saturday sailing: morning flights into MIA plus embarkation-day traffic on the causeway is the classic missed-ship story.
