Parking Port Everglades

[Duffysmom]

We’re on the Caribbean Princess mid June and will be driving to the port.  Since we never parked at the port I would appreciate knowing what terminal the CP uses and where the handicap parking can be found.  Thanks

Pier 2 at the north port. Enter off of Eisenhower Blvd. There is a covered parking garage directly next to the pier. HCp parking probably on the ground floor level, but I have no 1st hand use of that area. There are elevators from upper parking decks, and I believe I remember each deck having some HCP parking near the elevators. The walk is very short from the parking garage to the pier entrance. If a passenger can not walk at all then there is a drop off point next to the ramp entrance to the pier. I would avoid this if possible as it is very crowded with cars, taxis, buses and people in this area. Here is the number for the parking information: 954-468-3680.

You can last minute verify the pier assignment by checking this Port Everglades site:

I understand if you are from Florida, and have a HCP Florida license plate, I don't think mirror tags qualify, you can park there for free. If you think you qualify check out the law.

Skylight and Mauilvrs, thank you both for the great information.  I never expected the instructions as to how to drive into the port which can be a headache,  now DH and I feel so much better about the trip and what to expect. Another reason to love CC and the generosity of the members. 👌
