Debarkation
PortMiami Pickup Guide
After your cruise you'll be off the ship between about 7:00 and 10:00 AM. Pre-booked drivers wait in the terminal's ground transportation area; rideshares use designated zones, which get crowded on busy mornings.
When you'll be off the ship
Ships dock early, and passengers leave in waves between roughly 7:00 and 10:00 AM. Self-assist (carry-your-own-bags) guests go first; others by luggage-tag group.
