It's an airport Comfort Inn, and it ranks first anyway. The hotel publishes a free one-way shuttle to the port each morning, parking at $12 a night while you sail, free hot breakfast and a free shuttle from MIA. No downtown hotel publishes all four.
The catch is the seats. They go first come, first served when you register at check-in — a queue, not a reservation — and the ride home is $15 a person through a third party.
Check in early on a busy sailing day, and ask for your seat before you ask for your room.
Book it if
- Fly-in cruisers landing at MIA the day before
- Drivers who want cheap parking and a free ride to the ship
- Anyone who'd rather skip downtown prices
Look elsewhere if
- You want dinner and a drink without leaving the hotel. There's no restaurant.
- You need your seat to the ship guaranteed. Seats go first come, first served.
- You're bringing a pet. Service animals only.
