Port Everglades

[Floridastorm]

Will be on Celebrity Equinox out of Terminal 25 this Saturday and will be parking directly across in the Port Garage. My understanding is that one drives through a security gate when entering the port. Is that just a simple ID check/Reservations Check or something more? 

 

Thanks   - Dave 🤔

You will need to show your passport for sure. Have your cruise ticket available just in case.

It's just a security check.....you will need to show your passport and they ask if you have any weapons in your vehicle.

I've highlighted the response to your specific question from the official Port Everglades website (https://www.porteverglades.net/cruise/arriving-and-departing/ and included the entire section in case readers have other embarkation questions.

 

departing passengers (embarkation)

 

• Call ahead. Contact your cruise line before arriving at Port Everglades to verify your schedule and terminal information. This is especially important if severe weather threatens.
• Arrive at the Port after 11:30 a.m. to avoid traffic. Cruise lines ask that you board at least two hours prior to departure.
• Bring government-issued photo ID. Anyone 18-years-old and older must produce a government-issued photo ID (such as a drivers license or passport) at the security checkpoint before entering the Port.
• Keep identification/cruise documents handy. Put them in your carry-on bag. Do not pack them in your checked luggage. You will need to produce these documents several times before boarding your ship.
• Assist security. Heightened security measures at the Port help to ensure your safety. Please cooperate with security personnel to expedite boarding.
• Weapons of any type are not permitted inside the port. Cruise guests traveling by car must make arrangements to store weapons off Port property during their cruise vacation.
• Tag your luggage. Complete and attach the luggage tags provided by your cruise line before you give your luggage to porters for delivery to your stateroom. Porters can provide additional tags. 
• Carry valuables. Carry on any valuables, breakables, personal items and medications, along with your photo ID and cruise documents.
• Follow signs. Digital directional signs with ship names and terminal assignments are updated daily.

If you take Uber to the port, does security let the Uber in even though the driver isn't cruising? Or does Uber have to drop you off outside of security?

They let the Uber operator take you directly to the pier. On most occasions they ask to see the Uber drivers personal identification too.
