The Hyatt Regency sits on the Miami River next to the James L. Knight Center, and it makes the morning easy. The concierge will set up your ride to the port, and there's luggage storage before check-in and after checkout.
It doesn't publish a price for that ride, a cruise-parking rate or a free breakfast, so it sits twelfth. It edges the InterContinental on the tiebreak because Hyatt gives an actual distance — 3 miles, not "minutes away."
