in other words ... there is ONE garage to serve several terminals ....... 

 

btw I got sent there when cruising from T-18 and there was NO shuttle .....

 

port parking at PE is a disaster ..... look for an alternative . . .

If you are sailing from Terminal 18 - you park in the surrounding surface lots. If they are full, you park in Heron Garage/Shuttles.  There are no shuttles from Palm Garage/T-18.

If you are sailing from Terminal 18 - you park in the surrounding surface lots.  There is no shuttle because you parked in a garage.

yes you can drop bags first and I'm pretty sure they run a shuttle bus when the parking is not adjacent ..... they are probably meaning the garage between 19 and 25 aka the mid-port garage .... We cruised from PE- T-18 over Thanksgiving and parking at the port was a mess .... they were stuffing cars anyplace they could find enuf space to squeeze one in. I was directed to park in a space marked NO PARKING ..... We've sailed from PE several times but always had a ride to the terminal and did not leave car there......If I ever need to drive myself to PE again I'll use https://www.bookparkngo.com/ftlauderdale.php ... I tried at Thanksgiving but they were full with reservations over a month out . . .

 

I think I can better explain... The heaviest drive up weeks for all ports are Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year and local Spring Break cruises.  If port parking are full, then the surrounding remote parking lots are full.  If you are cruising during these weeks, your best bet is rideshare, taxi or hotel shuttle. All other times, there is ample parking.  Terminal 29, drop off luggage first, then park in the Palm Garage.  A complimentary shuttle will bring you back to the terminal and will be there when you debark.  

The reason why Oosterdam is in PortMiami for this one call is that Port Everglades is FULL on this date = no available berths.  Terminal 4 is closed for Disney Cruise Line construction.  

on the south end of Terminal 18. 

Heron Garage is for Terminal 2 and Terminal 4

Palm Garage is for Terminal 19, 21, 25, 26 and 29.

Check out Port Everglades Facebook to find your ships location assignment. 

it depends.... some terminals have facial recognition...you will not need to use Global Entry.

if the terminal does not have facial recognition, present your GE card for front of the line access. 

rideshare pickup is at the south end of Terminal 2.   You will exit the terminal on the north end. 

It is by the 3 elevators that lead to the Heron Garage 

Be sure to check that website the day of your sailing...berth assignments can change overnight

Check Port Everglades Facebook page, they post everyday which terminal and where to park in the description.

This is good advice for the OP.  The recent sailings of Regal Princess that I have watched was when there was another Princess ship sailing the same day.  Regal consistently sailed from Terminal 21.  If that's the case for the OP, the Mid-Port Parking Garage would be the one to use.  

 

 

This happened to me when I sailed on Volendam's 2019 Christmas/New Year's Cruise.  We sailed from Terminal 26; parked my car at the Mid-Port Garage.  But, we returned to Port Everglades and docked at Terminal 4.  HAL's shore staff helped me get a taxi to the Mid-Port Garage.  There must not have been a Port Shuttle.  

Shuttles are always provided by the Port when a ship changes berths.   But not for back to back guests

the Northport Garage is now for Convention Center use only.

Terminal 2 and Terminal 4 guests will park in the newly built Heron Garage.

Terminal 2 guests will use the overhead walkway (Level 5) to get to Terminal 2.

 La Bamba on 17th Street, in the Harbor Shops between Publix & LA Fitness.  (open lunch & dinner)

Carlos & Pepe's on 17th Street (open for dinner)

Facial recognition on debark is available at Terminal 25 in Port Everglades.

Launching very soon in Terminal 18 in Port Everglades.

During the summer several of the regular terminals are closed.

Terminal 26 is used for the HAL Pinnacle-class ships when they are in port. So if a weekend day in October one of those ships will likely be there. Thus Carnival Magic probably could be in Terminal 19. Or a remote possibility of Terminal 4 if there are more than four Carnival Corp-owned lines' ships (but only one Princess) in port. 

 

You can use the (very cumbersome) Query feature on the site linked above to search by ship name and find its scheduled berth(s) 30 days in advance.

All terminals are open except Terminal 4, due to a parking garage being built.   Carnival is at Terminal 26 for the summer, while construction of the garage is in full swing.

If you are sailing from Terminal 18, there are two surface lots.  Ample parking for Christmas sailings.  

*Thanksgiving is a different story - heavier drive up. 

Commission Ceremony to be Live Streamed 

The commissioning ceremony for the USS Paul Ignatius (DDG 117) will be held at Port Everglades on Saturday, July 27, at 10AM.  Tickets to the ceremony are no longer available to the public, however the ceremony will be live-streamed at: http://www.navy.mil/ah_online/live/ah-live.asp . The link will become active approximately five minutes prior to the event (9:55 AM ET).

There are TWO Carnival ships in Port Everglades October thru May. 

Carnival is gone for the Summer and returns in the Fall.

Has nothing to do with deepening and widening.

Your rideshare drive will now via GPS.  add to the comments what terminal and what you are wearing - easy to find

Trolley Train Multilingual Tour

Thank you very much!  

Can also book this excursion through Royal Caribbean.....

Hello all,

I'm sailing on the Caribbean Princess next week.  I have been to St. Maarten before (on another cruise line) and really enjoyed the red train sightseeing tour. 

I noticed this excursion was not available to book with Princess.  Does anyone know if I can book this excursion thru another sight or when we dock?
