For most Palm Beach County cruisers, Port Everglades is the natural choice over PortMiami — it's the closer terminal, and unless your specific sailing only loads out of Miami, there's no reason to add the extra 30 miles. This page treats Port Everglades as the default recommendation for anyone flying into PBI ahead of a cruise, not an alternative to something else.
The drive from Palm Beach International runs about 48 miles south on I-95, roughly 55 minutes, through Palm Beach and Broward counties into Fort Lauderdale. It's a shorter, simpler version of the PortMiami trip from the same airport — less time in the car, less exposure to the heavier traffic patterns around downtown Miami.
Same standard: one driver, one vehicle, direct from your PBI arrival to the terminal door, sized for up to 7 passengers and 6 bags.
