Port Canaveral Parking -- changes in payment routine

[truffles2]

They still had porters across the street at the bag drop when we were there in July.

None two weeks ago. According to several employees, things change daily.

We were on Enchantment a few weeks ago. They had one lane going into the parking garage for credit payments and one for cash. The cash payment line was a machine that you fed the bills into. They did have porters at the luggage drop off area down past the terminal. Leaving he port was a breeze since you did not have to wait to pay. Looking forward to seeing what terminal 1 will be like and which ships will use it.

It is still possible for a private car to drop off bags without having to pay parking?

Was there a line for people who already pre paid on-line?

Along this line. Is there any change on pick up at the end of the cruise?

The reason I asked the question about dropping bags is because the last time we cruised from PC (this past March), we had to pick up a parking ticket, go through the parking structure, give the ticket to the attendant (parking was free for the first hour), exit the parking area, and finally drop bags.

 

With payment due up front, I'm wondering if they have gone back to the way it was years ago when you could drop bags without going through the parking structure.

Yes, you can drop your bags with or without entering the parking area.

Thanks, that will speed up the process.:)

We did not see a line for pre-paid. They just asked us if we were paying with cash or credit and directed us to the correct line.

Dropped off at noon last week, definitely a line due to drop off slots in the porter area. I imagine it could get bad during peak times and then you have to enter line for parking. :(

Are you driving to the port from home? We are thinking about that as flying is becoming a pita.

Do they still charge 5 days parking for a 4 night cruise?

Yep:(

[bigeagle12]

I would rather park offsite but have not heard good this about timeliness of catching shuttles.

The parking has been pre-pay for over a year. I was on the Dream August of 2013 and you paid up front.

Terminal 10 (RCL) may have been slower to adopt

I should have been more specific -- I was looking for info. on the garage serving Royal Caribbean.

Disney has always been pre-pay. Different lots and different garages.

[SherriZ366]

Do the pre-pay lots for the Disney and Carnival terminals work smoothly? Lines etc? It has been very easy to drop off luggage and park (and pay when we leave) when we have sailed with RCI

I wonder which line will be shorter, cash or credit.

No, we always fly to Port Canaveral. We usually have a rental car, and like to drop bags at the terminal first, so we save an unload/load cycle at the rental car office.

Cash is a machine where you insert bills.

I looked at Port Canaveral's website and they had a place to reserve parking. I have never noticed that before. We just drive in with no reservation. I hope that they get everything worked out before our December cruise.

We may do that -- wonder if we could pre-pay online.

I prepaid on line a few weeks ago for March, but I phoned and the lady said you don't really have to lots of parking
