Which terminal does Carnival Cruise Line use in Florida, and where does the car drop you?
PortMiami's own page assigns Carnival Cruise Line three terminals, D, E and F, at 1435, 1265 and 1103 N. Cruise Blvd.; Carnival's own pages name Miami, Port Canaveral and Tampa as its Florida departure ports and print no terminal, so your cruise documents name yours and the car is sent to that door (PortMiami, n.d.; Carnival Cruise Line, n.d.).
At PortMiami: PortMiami's own page assigns Carnival Cruise Line Terminal D at 1435 N. Cruise Blvd., Terminal E at 1265 N. Cruise Blvd. and Terminal F at 1103 N. Cruise Blvd. (PortMiami, n.d.). Carnival's Cruises from Miami page names Miami as a year-round departure port and prints no terminal, street address or arrival rule. (Carnival Cruise Line, n.d.).
At Port Canaveral: Port Canaveral's own page assigns Carnival Cruise Line no terminal: it names no line for the terminals the line describes (Port Canaveral, n.d.). Carnival's Port Canaveral page names Port Canaveral (Orlando) as a departure port and prints no terminal or address. (Carnival Cruise Line, n.d.).
At Port Tampa Bay: Port Tampa Bay's own page assigns Carnival Cruise Line no terminal: it names no line for the terminals the line describes (Port Tampa Bay, n.d.). Carnival's Tampa page names Tampa as a departure port and prints no terminal or address. (Carnival Cruise Line, n.d.).
Not on the pages I read: a terminal, an arrival time or a drop-off point on any Carnival page our reader could open: its help centre, where those answers live, builds its pages with scripts and showed nothing; Jacksonville, which Carnival also lists as a Florida departure port and this site does not cover. A terminal is the cruise line's to change, and a port's page and a line's page do not always agree on a street name or a rate, so the desk checks your cruise documents against both the day before the car is sent.
What the car does: give the desk the ship, the sailing date and the flight, and the car is sent to the terminal address your documents name, planned against the line's own check-in deadline rather than the drive. The fare is agreed before the car moves, the captain watches the flight, and the pickup after the cruise is at the same terminal.
Carnival Cruise Line's Florida ports, as the ports assign them
| Port | Terminal, per the port | Address, per the port |
|---|---|---|
| PortMiami | Cruise Terminal D, Cruise Terminal E, Cruise Terminal F | 1435 N. Cruise Blvd.; 1265 N. Cruise Blvd.; 1103 N. Cruise Blvd. |
| Port Canaveral | No line named by the port | 7 terminals listed; your documents name yours |
| Port Tampa Bay | No line named by the port | 3 terminals listed; your documents name yours |
The terminal column is the port's own assignment, not the line's; what the line itself says about each port is in the text above, read November 2, 2026. A port that names no line for a terminal is shown as such, and your cruise documents win over this table.
