Where do Fort Lauderdale cruises depart from?

Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale is one of the world's busiest cruise ports, and a huge share of its guests drive in from South and Central Florida. The port garages are convenient but priced at a premium, so off-site reserved parking with a shuttle is a popular way to save. Port Everglades is served by Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Holland America and Disney Cruise Line, so whichever line you are sailing from West Palm Beach, the parking challenge is the same: a guaranteed spot near the terminal with a shuttle beats circling a full garage on embarkation morning.
