I think that this falls into the category of "You get what you pay for". This place has a very bad reputation, people have reported damage to their cars, I even heard of a theft.

 

I tried it once, and that was enough. My main problem with them is that they wouldn't pick us up at the port as promised. We had to take a cab over there to get our car, which pretty much wiped out whatever savings we enjoyed.

 

On our last cruise, I parked at Park and Fly, for $10.50/day with a AAA discount, and was very satisfied; I intend to use them or Park 'n Go again

I used them once several years ago and all was fine.

 

However, I have since read all the bad reports and would not take the chance again.

 

We now park at the port in Ft. Lauderdale. It really is so convenient to just walk across the street, find your car and be on your way.

 

Now Miami is $20/day and we have a 9 day cruise coming up. Don't know what we'll do there yet.

I also will recommend Park-N-Fly and have used them many times.

My experience was bad and if you check around you'll find a lot more.

 

The place is hard to find, we had to pay for a taxi back there after the cruise despite several phone calls (they claimed their van had been in an accident but it was sitting there when we arrived by taxi), and the car was not washed as promised. You also have to leave your keys and they park your car -- who knows where.

 

It is worth the difference for the Park-n-Fly. Another possible solution is one of the hotels in the area that let you part for FREE while on your cruise if you stay a night.
