Any current users of ParkConnect( Dec.2019) Recomend?

We have not used them since February 2019 but we have a cruise coming up and will be using them again. We parked in the same garage that the port parking was in this past February. It was great then and half the price.

Thank you!!! I believe I can handle that.  lol👍  It's crazy how

I can let my over thinking things make me sound silly.😏

Not a problem. I did the same thing. If it had not been for OCVTSGIRL I never would have know about Park Connect and I would not have used them without having some good feedback on them.

GA, can you tell me how it went when you left.  Was there an attendant when you left?

Did they ask to see your receipt or just your confirmation number?

I will be using them next week, thank you.

When you arrive you take a ticket from the machine and park. When you leave you drive back to the exit and pull up to the machine with the bar down. Do not put the ticket in the machine to pay. There is a help button on the machine. Press the help button and someone will ask how they can help you. Tell them you have a confirmation number from park connect. The confirmation is on the email they send you. Give them that number and they will raise the bar and let you out. It was really easy..

I just wanted to update this post with our experience since we got back from our Brilliance Cruise this morning 02/18/19. This worked out Great!! Park Connect worked just like the site says. I can see why they have all the great reviews! We were parked in the Channelside Parking Garage. Thank you all who replied with experiences in this thread. This helped us choose Park Connect.

Our voucher says the same...park on the 3rd deck or higher.  I think we are going to be glad we did this.  Thanks for our input.

I booked with them today and ours says 3rd deck or higher to. We will find out how well this is going to work tomorrow. Thanks again for posting about them. If this is as good as everyone says it saves us half of what it normally would have cost to park. Fingers crossed we will see tomorrow.

Yes we are in the Channelside Garage.  This is our first time cruising out of Tampa so I don't know about terminal #s.  When I went in to book it I was given a choice of cruise lines and then it had the ships and their dates and I had to choose ours which is Feb. 18th.  It was $35 for the 5 nights as opposed to the $75 I was going to have to pay at the garage.  

Thank you for bringing this topic up and answering my question! We are on the cruise before you. We will be getting off when you are getting on. Channelside Parking Garage is directly across from Terminal 3 where Brilliance should be docked. You should be able to walk across the street from the parking garage and straight into the terminal. This will be our 5th time cruising out of Tampa. We have always used Channelside parking garage when leaving from terminal 3 but it has always been way more expensive than this.

Thanks all!  I just booked our parking through Park Connect since everyone here said they had a good experience and they received great reviews online.  Cost me $35 for 5 nights on the Brilliance as opposed to $75 I would have paid.

Did they park you in the Channelside Garage across from terminal 3? We have a cruise on Brilliance coming up and for our 4 day it is half of what it is to pay at the garage.

Wondering the same thing. Do you park in the port garage right across from terminal 3?
