jasm8449 Posted November 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2017 We have the time and the inclination to drive from Toronto to Fort Lauderdale for our Caribbean cruise in February. I would appreciate recommendations for where to park our car for the 7 nights close to the pier. Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted November 30, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2017 We've always found the parking at the cruise terminal to be easy and convenient! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomfeeder Posted November 30, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 30, 2017 ParkNGo. Unless you have huge objections to leaving your car keys with them--doesn't bother me at all but apparently some don't like the idea of that. Significantly cheaper than the cruise port, I've never had a wait for a shuttle bus to or from the port, and they give out free bottled water when you pick up your car for the drive home. They are also great for transatlantics where you are going to/from the airport on one end of the cruise and the cruise port on the other end, because they have shuttles to/from both.

Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted November 30, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 30, 2017 ParkNGo is excellent. Have used them for years with no problems whatsoever. I love that they're in the lot waiting for you when you get off the ship. I've also used them when flying out of FLL. They're very close to both the cruiseport and the airport. They're probably half the price of parking at the cruiseport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted November 30, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 30, 2017 We use port parking when we have our car in Fl. There may be some changes at the port due to construction...suggest you find out exactly where your ship will be berthed for embark and disembarkation. Suggest also that you check the Port board..Fla departures, and the Port Everglades website for up to date info, maps etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneputt18 Posted November 30, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Another vote for Park n go, we live in Broward county and always use them. Never once a problem. FYI, book online ahead of time,saves money and holds your spot. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJS-TX Posted November 30, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Park by the Ports was an excellent site. A little difficult to find, due to road construction, but excellent service. Definitely recommend. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted November 30, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Another vote for Parkngo here. Awesome service and a lot cheaper than the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturngrl Posted November 30, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I highly recommend Park n' Go! Celebrity's current pier is under construction and they have deferred to other piers, both of which require shuttles to and from the mid-port parking garage. Park n' Go is much less expensive, and their service is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinCanine Posted November 30, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 30, 2017 ParkNGo-excellent service and good cost. We've always done as you, drove down from TO and prebooked with ParkNGo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinCanine Posted December 1, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Cruisin Canine - Which route do you take....via Detroit or via Buffalo? Fort Erie/Buffalo Detroit take you too far west and I don't mind driving thru the mountains :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseheads4ever Posted December 1, 2017 #14 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Park n Go is the way to go. Like stated prior, cheaper and they shuttle you quickly to and from port. Never had a problem getting picked up after cruise just look for bright yellow buses with large Park n Go lettering on it. They even lift your bags on andd off bus..

JerseyGirlatHeart Posted December 1, 2017 #15 Share Posted December 1, 2017 If spending night in a hotel, check out the “park, stay and go” option some of the hotels offer ... know Hilton does it, includes round trip transportation to the port.

watchdiva Posted December 1, 2017 #16 Share Posted December 1, 2017 We opted for Springhill Suites in FLL and their park, stay go option. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted December 1, 2017 #17 Share Posted December 1, 2017 We usually stay 1.5 to 2 hrs north of FLL and use the hotel savings to park right at the port. Hotels in FLL in Feb are VERY expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
