To park for Cruise Terminal 5, book a Portside spot online, park in our gated lot off SR-528 at Exit 52, and take the free shuttle about 2 minutes to Terminal 5 at 9245 Charles Rowland Dr, Cape Canaveral, FL 32920 on the north side of the port. Parking is $14.95 a day; a 7-night sailing is $119.60 for all 8 days.
Terminal assignments shift by date, so we confirm your exact terminal in your booking confirmation and again in the email we send the day before you sail.
Both the day you board and the day you return count as parking days. Here is what the most common trip lengths cost at the port garage versus a reserved Portside spot:
| Cruise length | Parking days | Port garage at Terminal 5 | Portside (reserved, shuttle included) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-night cruise | 4 days | $80.00 plus tax | $59.80 |
| 4-night cruise | 5 days | $100.00 plus tax | $74.75 |
| 5-night cruise | 6 days | $120.00 plus tax | $89.70 |
| 7-night cruise | 8 days | $160.00 plus tax | $119.60 |

Terminal 5 is a shared terminal. Our schedule data assigns Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line ships here, including Explorer of the Seas, Celebrity Apex, Norwegian Prima, Norwegian Getaway and Norwegian Epic. It also sits right beside Terminal 6 on Charles Rowland Drive: Terminal 5 is number 9245 and Terminal 6 is number 9241. With two terminals that close together, the single most useful thing you can do before sailing day is confirm the terminal number printed in your cruise documents.
You do not have to sort out the difference on the road. Your Portside booking confirmation names your terminal, the reminder email the day before repeats it, and the shuttle driver takes you to the right door. You park, grab your carry-ons, and ride.
Norwegian, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean each assign a check-in or arrival time, and that is the time to work back from. Leave enough room to park, check in at the lot and make the short ride, and remember the last outbound shuttle departs at 2:00 PM. Most ships here run itineraries whose length varies by season, so check your own dates when you book; the price is simply $14.95 for each day from drop-off to return.
Turn right on the main walkway to the far end of the parking garage, turn left under the garage, and walk to the last space at the garage end to find the Portside sign. Return shuttles start running at 7:00 AM. Because the pickup is at the far end of the garage, give yourself a few extra minutes for the walk if you are pulling checked luggage.
Book a Portside spot online and park in our gated lot off SR-528 at Exit 52. The free shuttle takes you directly to Cruise Terminal 5 at 9245 Charles Rowland Dr, Cape Canaveral, FL 32920 in about 2 minutes. You pay $14.95 a day for a reserved space instead of hunting for room in the port's first-come garages.
No. They are separate buildings next to each other on Charles Rowland Drive, Terminal 5 at number 9245 and Terminal 6 at number 9241. Check the terminal number in your cruise documents. Your Portside confirmation and day-before email name your terminal, and the shuttle drops you at the correct one.
Our schedule data lists Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line ships at Terminal 5, including Explorer of the Seas, Celebrity Apex, Norwegian Prima, Norwegian Getaway and Norwegian Epic.
