We just got back yesterday from our cruise. We used hotel points to stay at Crowne Plaza on the River in downtown, so therefore needed a parking lot for our car. I saw the nearby lot for lesser price, but I didn't want to deal with shuttles either coming or going. We arrived at the port a little around 10:15 and were put into a 'waiting area parking lot' for a couple minutes. I think they were still waiting for the last passengers to get off. By 10:30 or so, we were in the 2nd row of cars in the 'real' lot, but first space in that row - so super close to the ship. We didn't need shuttles or porters, and our car was in a very secure lot. Paid in advance that day, so it was smooth sailing yesterday when leaving. We were onboard around 11:30. I'd do it that way again!
