Procedures for boarding a cruise at Miami?
In a few weeks, I will be departing off Miami for a cruise. It it my first time on such an adventure.
From downtown Miami, how to reach the pier where cruise liners usually pick up passengers? Is there public transit nearby or should I get a cab?
How far in advance of the sailing time should I show up so that I can clear the boarding procedures?
What are the usual boarding procedures? Is there a X-ray / metal detector check like at airports? Is there a separate luggage handling?
Best Answer
I know my answer is a little late to the party but I've found it sometimes cheaper $100 per person to fly into Ft. Lauderdale and just take a van ride down from that airport to the cruise port.
