Five steps to park for a Fort Lauderdale cruise, from checking your terminal to riding the shuttle in. Portside is expanding here, so join the waitlist for a reserved spot.
Ask whether the price counts both your drop-off day and your return day, since 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. Confirm when the return-morning shuttle starts running. And keep your confirmation on your phone, because the first-come lot is the one that fills on busy sailings. When Portside opens at Fort Lauderdale, all of this is handled in one reserved booking, the way it works at our Port Canaveral lot.
Portside is not at Port Everglades yet. Joining is free, and it is how we decide where to open next. If your cruise is 90 or more days out, that gives us the runway to secure a lot near the terminal and hold a spot for you before you sail.
Portside is live at Port Canaveral now: $14.95 a day, free shuttle, guaranteed reservation.
Reserve Port Canaveral parkingCheck your terminal, plan the drive, choose on-site or reserved off-site, book ahead, then drop off and ride the shuttle to your terminal. 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.
Aim to reach your lot a couple of hours before your terminal's check-in window, with extra time on a weekend morning or after a long drive. Reserving ahead removes the scramble for a first-come space.
From $14.95 a day, free shuttle straight to your terminal, no hidden fees.
Rates start at $14.95/day. Weekend and peak sail dates, and last-minute bookings, can be higher based on demand and the day of the week. Your exact daily rate is always shown before you pay.
