Miami is where more cruises start than anywhere else on our schedule. Ships leave from PortMiami on Dodge Island, across a short causeway from downtown. Most sailings go to the Bahamas and the Caribbean, so many cruisers fly in a day early and spend it in downtown Miami, Little Havana or South Beach.
The average high temperature in Miami during August is 85°F, with a low of 81°F.
Miami typically sees 4 days of rain in August. Hottest month, hurricane season.
For a August cruise to Miami, you should pack lightweight, breathable clothing, swimwear, and sun protection.
