Answers to the most common Fort Lauderdale cruise parking questions. Portside is expanding here, so join the waitlist for a reserved spot near the terminal.
Not yet. Fort Lauderdale is on our expansion list. Join the free waitlist, and if you sign up at least 90 days before you sail, we will work to secure you a reserved spot near the terminal and email you the moment one opens.
On-site port parking is a flat $20 a day for a standard vehicle and $25 for an oversized one, the same at the Heron and Palm garages and the surface lots. Private off-site lots advertise rates from about $7 to $9 a day before taxes, fees and shuttle. You are billed for each day your car is parked, counting the day you return and every day at sea, so a 7-night sailing is typically 8 days, so a 7-night cruise is 8 parking days.
Port Everglades is served by Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Holland America and Disney Cruise Line. See each line's parking page from the Fort Lauderdale port overview.
Fort Lauderdale cruises depart from Cruise Terminal 2, Cruise Terminal 4, Cruise Terminal 18, Cruise Terminal 21, Cruise Terminal 25 and Cruise Terminal 29. Assignments shift by season and sailing, so confirm the terminal on your boarding pass.
