Port of Miami
 
I'm wondering if there is dependable transportation from TV to the port of Miami and back? Or is it better just to drive and park at the port?

Are there any reliable and safe stay and park hotels for the Port of Miami??

I have stayed several times at the Ramada in Miami. Nice sports bar restaurant on property, breakfast served in the AM safe, The local Police eat & meet there also.

I drive from the Hotel in the AM & park at the pier. There is a shuttle from the Hotel but you have to check and see what there charge is to park at the Hotel as I've never parked there.

We rented a car and dropped it off at MIA then took shuttle.

We use Yankee Trails when leaving from Lauderdale or Miami. From October through April or May, they provide free bus if you book your cruise through them.

We like to drive down the day before and then relax at a hotel.

We stayed at the Days Inn last year when we were on a cruise for two weeks. No problems whatsoever:

I think it's $45 pp each way if you just book the bus
