I stayed at the Hampton Inn & Suites Miami Airport South Blue Lagoon (www.hamptoninnmiamiairport.com/) and at the Hampton Inn & Suites Miami Brickell Downtown (www.hamptoninnmiamibrickell.com/). Both hotels have breakfast included and free Wi-Fi. The Airport location has airport shuttle, they have a paid cruise shuttle and a cab drive to the port will go for about $25. The Brickell location is about a year old, very nice and updated and walking distance from Mary Brickell Village (the place to eat and have fun) and a short free monorail ride from Bayside MarketPlace. This new location is about a $15 cab ride from the port.

If you want to be close to the airport, I stayed at the Hampton Inn & Suites Miami Airport South Blue Lagoon (www.hamptoninnmiamiairport.com) and it was very nice, but not much to do in the area. Closer to the Port of Miami, there is another Hampton Inn - Hampton Inn & Suites Miami Brickell Downtown (www.hamptoninnmiamibrickell.com) that is amazing. It is about one year old, and very well located by Mary Brickell Village - cool place to eat and play. Transportation from the Hotels to the Port is fairly easy. Both hotels have a cruise package with two one-way transport to POM but a cab won't be expensive - $10 from Brickell and $20-25 from the Airport. The company that makes the transportation for the hotel can get you a good deal for all your guests.
