Sailing Carnival from PortMiami? Here is where it docks, which ships sail from Miami, and how to lock in parking. Portside is expanding here, so join the waitlist for a reserved spot near the terminal.
Carnival sails year-round from PortMiami's Terminals D, E and F to the Caribbean and Bahamas. Portside is not at PortMiami yet, so join the waitlist and, 90+ days out, we will work to hold you a reserved spot near Cruise Terminal F.
Carnival typically sails from Cruise Terminal F at PortMiami, PortMiami on Dodge Island, reached by the Port Boulevard bridge from downtown Miami. Assignments can shift by season and sailing, so always confirm the terminal on your boarding pass. From there the parking question is the same for every Carnival guest: a reserved spot near the terminal with a shuttle beats circling a full lot on embarkation morning.
Carnival deploys Carnival Celebration and Carnival Conquest from Miami. Pick your ship for its own parking page:
PortMiami is the cruise capital of the world, and while many fly in, a large number of Floridians drive down and need somewhere secure to leave the car. Downtown Miami parking is expensive and the port garages fill on big weekends, so reserved off-site parking with a shuttle is a real money-saver. On-site parking at PortMiami runs about $25 a day at most garages and $35 a day at the MSC (AA) and Norwegian (B) garages, with Royal Caribbean's Garage A priced separately, while private off-site lots can run as low as about $8 to $15 a day before taxes and fees. PortMiami garages charge for each day your car is parked, counting your drop-off and return day, and take credit or cash but not debit cards, so a 7-night Carnival cruise is billed as 8 parking days. Reserving ahead is the way to guarantee a spot on a busy Carnival embarkation day.
Portside is not at PortMiami yet. Joining is free, and it is how we decide where to open next. If your cruise is 90 or more days out, that gives us the runway to secure a lot near the terminal and hold a spot for you before you sail.
Portside is live at Port Canaveral now: $14.95 a day, free shuttle, guaranteed reservation.
