Question about the parking deck at Port Canaveral

[Swa1981]

Hello.  We're sailing out of Port Canaveral's Terminal 1 (I believe that's the one for RC/Independence) next month.  I've always parked offsite in the past, but am considering parking at the actual port for the upcoming trip. 

 

1) I'm wondering if there's a chance the parking deck could get full (especially with several people being on vacation for spring break)?

2) I'm also wondering how crowded the deck can get once you've returned from the boat and are trying to leave?  I read in a previous post, which I can't locate now, that the exit line gets pretty backed up and can really delay your start to getting back on the road.  For this reason, I'm wondering if off-site parking would be quicker.  Does it get backed up just for those who get off the boat later and for how long?

 

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

There is an overflow lot right in front of the garage. We have parked there and it is fine.

 

Exit from garage or lot is not a problem. You pay on the way in.
