Parking at Port Everglades

[DeedeeG]

Has anyone had any problems finding parking at the port? With so many ships leaving at the same time, I'm worried about getting a spot, with a 1 p.m. boarding time. Thanks!

We use one of the off-site parking venues, so I can't provide info about the parking garage that's central to HAL's usual 3 terminals. The off-site venues provide frequent transportation to/from the terminals and you can pre-book online. There are several.

We sailed from FLL in January and parked in one of the on-site garages. Sail time was 3pm and we arrived around 1100. I believe it was the Palm parking garage and was directly across from Terminal 26. There were plenty of spaces on the upper decks but still under cover from the elements. No problem.

We sometimes drive to Fort L to avoid flying.  When we drive we stay at a Homewood Suites near the airport and Dania Beach where we book a stay and cruise special.  Free parking up to 21 days.  The hotel arranges shuttles to and from Port Everglades or Miami Port.

Just remember that probably as many cruisers leaving with you disembarked earlier that morning and freed up parking spaces.

We parked in the Palm garage across from terminal 26 (where our ship was) for our Feb. 11-18 cruise. We had a 2:00 boarding time. Arrived at the garage at 11:43. Parked on level 5, under cover. We were in our room by 12:10! When leaving, we left our room at 8:00 and were out of the garage by 8:30. Even though there was a line for the elevators, it moved quickly. Only waited about 5 minutes. Cost for the week was $105.

Except for one time, we've been in and out very quickly -- always between 15 and 30 minutes.  Once, when we left from one terminal, but returned to a different terminal, it was a nightmare.  Shuttles were lined up to transport to the first parking garage, but there weren't enough.  It took a couple hours.  Dreadful!

We have parked there numerous times and NEVER had a problem finding a spot. We normally get to the parking garage about noon and don't ever have to go up on the roof. Usually find a space on the second level.
