Port Miami: Carnival's Terminal F - Celebration Homeport and Drive from WPB

IMPORTANT NOT MENTIONED IN POST
2 things you will want to do before leaving:
1) GPS the drive, to Be Sure There Will Be No Delays.
1103 North Cruise Blvd, Miami.
2) The tunnel is usually open 24/7 but you will want to double check just in case there is an unexpected closure.

Hi everyone, just a quick post about to share our experience when we parked at Carnival's new Terminal for our Celebration Cruise.
Just so you're aware, unlike Terminal D - where the parking garage is directly across from the ship, Terminal F's, Garage "G" is not. You must park in the garage across from Terminal "G" and walk.
One good thing about the walk, it's completely under cover, no worry if it happens to be raining.
On debarkation, you may want to search for a porter who will take the bags to the garage.
Of course they will be expecting a nice tip.
We arrived early to make our 10am check-in and was greeted by many passengers already disembarking. It was a bit crazy with people leaving and arriving at the same time.
Let us know what your experience was when parking.
Directions and Address:
Traveled from West Palm Beach, Down I-95 in the express lane the entire way and took the
tunnel to the port.
F-TERMINALS-SIGN (West Side, not far from Virgin) - Exit 54B
Cruise Terminal #F (CT-F) Address:
1103 North Cruise Blvd
More Information about CT-F can be found on the links below:

We were on a 7 day Cruise and the parking came to: $154.00
Not a big fan of using a nearby parking service - we tried it once and once was enough.

Really good video! Very, very informative!!

[@simplyatsea6779]

Very helpful! I sail in 5 days on the Celebration and we are driving down. Unfortunately it is during the Ultra Music Festival in Miami and traffic has had us so worried. 😅 Thank you ❤

[@CruiseLifeTV]

You're very welcome, hopefully it won't be that bad , it's nice to have the tunnel to bypass downtown Miami. Definitely Google the drive time before leaving to make sure there's no issues. There was a cruise that left a few months back where they were a marathon was going on in Miami and for whatever reason the tunnel was closed.was very chaotic. There is a website for the tunnel that you might wanna check before leaving as well to make sure it's open. enjoy your cruise.

[@australiajernigan908]

Perfect I leave Sunday and I am debating if I want off port parking or not.

[@CruiseLifeTV]

We parked off port once, we will never do it again. It's not worth it to us. Enjoy your cruise and Thank you for Watching.

[@Freddie_in_FL]

Your video was very informative for our drive to the port, thanks.

[@juliehansen2210]

Thanks for the video. Will be trying to navigate the port traffic in February! Question: is the process the same for a B2B regarding getting the ticket and paying at the end?

[@CruiseLifeTV]

Thanks for watching, we will be there in Feb also but sailing on the Horizon. We haven't done any b2b but would think it's the same for 14 days. Price to park at the port is a per day rate.

[@CarnivalCruiseAddicts]

OMG can't wait!!!

[@pnpphotographyinc.5812]

You set your home alarm at approximately 6:30am. You boarded Celebration at approximately 11:45am. Did it take you 5 hours and 15 min. to go door to door????

[@CruiseLifeTV]

Hi thanks for watching. We left the house at 815. The time on the alarm is wrong. Takes an hour with no traffic from WPB. Even with priority boarding we were delayed getting on due to Shaq being on board doing a ribbon cutting ceremony.

[@pnpphotographyinc.5812]

@@CruiseLifeTV OK TY

[@odd_inhd9250]

​@@CruiseLifeTVwow shaq himself!

[@CruiseLifeTV]

@odd_inhd9250 Yeah, I wish we knew sooner, we might have tried to meet up with his Entourage for a photo.

[@nydjrio]

Great video! Thanks for the heads up guys!

[@CruiseLifeTV]

Rio's in the house!

[@TheWeymouthFamily]

Thank you 🙏

[@TracyMontgomery-swfl]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@buddhaken]

Thank you for this video. I am cruising the Celebration in May, do you need to reserve the parking at garage G?

[@CruiseLifeTV]

No, there isn't any reserve parking at the garage. If you get there early enough as people are leaving spots will open up. They only problem about arriving too soon is that. It could get a little hected with people arriving and people leaving both at the same time. We did try the offside parking,. Which is less expensive but turned into a hassle.? I recommend paying the extra money and parking right at the terminal. We posted a video on how to get an early check in time, which you may want to check out.

[@buddhaken]

@@CruiseLifeTV we had already planned to park at that lot, but i couldn't find if i needed to reserve the parking. Thank you so much. You've been a grrat help. This is my first time out of Miami. I usually cruise out of Galveston.

[@CruiseLifeTV]

@buddhaken so glad you found our post helpful. You're going to love port miami.

[@naomimckenzie6375]

So you just drop your bags at the terminal? I didn’t see him tag them or anything- It looks like he just put them to the side? Do you have to give them your tickets so they know what room they go to? First time cruiser about to sail on the Celebration 12/3.

[@kuexiong4961]

How much was it per day 4 parking?? I wondering if the cost difference of parking off-site is worth it or not

[@CruiseLifeTV]

We were on a 7 day Cruise and it was $154. Our take on parking in Miami: Off site is almost half the price, we did it once and was a nightmare. Anywhere else I would recommend it but not in Miami. We paid a little more and was in/out in no time. Hassle free.

[@ndy817]

Hi, do we absolutely need to drop off the luggage first or i can bring in with me when doing my check-in?

[@CruiseLifeTV]

Always drop off the checked in luggage first. As a suggestion, place copies of the luggage tag inside your bags.

[@ndy817]

@@CruiseLifeTV thank you, much appreciated!

[@krystalspaulding7979]

How much is parking per day? Taking Celebration 7 days in May

[@CruiseLifeTV]

It was a $154 for the 7 days, when we went a few months ago.

[@KimberlyLovell-qr5nd]

Have a "Super Great Time",.... I know you will ~ .....Love you so very much. Have lots of "Fun, Fun, & More Fun" ~ ~ ~ ~

[@lisab1193]

Is this garage only for Celebration or other Carnival ships?

[@CruiseLifeTV]

Three others as well. Terminasl F, G and V

[@debbiebrooks1293]

Thank you, good info

[@tamekacurtis5054]

We are taking a private charter. where should they drop us off

[@CruiseLifeTV]

They will need to drop you off right in the front. Where they collect your bags and then you cross the street and walk right into the terminal. Be sure the time. It's so that you are arriving during your arrival window time. Thanks for watching

[@Thaisagirl]

How much is for parking?

[@CruiseLifeTV]

We were on a 7 day Cruise and came to about $154.00
