tonyfsu21 Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 For those of you considering parking at T18 Port Everglades, here is some perspective on the parking lot in close proximity to the ship. Today we went from my living room to the promenade of Symphony in 35 minutes flat. asquared17, WAAAYTOOO, USCG Teacher and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandstromCruise Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 Super convenient parking there. You can easily drop off luggage and anyone else in the party and then go park the car. We used this lot on our last cruise. It was pretty full, but we were able to find a spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Important to note you need to get here early to get a decent spot. Timing is everything. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyfsu21 Posted December 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 Overall it was a pleasure leaving from Port Everglades. I say that from both a convenience factor (for us) and the overall flow of the port from parking to embarkation. I would like to add that as far as FL ports go, Port Canaveral seems to be the absolute winner in terms of terminal parking and early ship embarkation. Port of Miami has its positives regarding the amazing terminal but I find the back end debark to be a PITA (especially at the parking garage elevator bank). I think hands down, Port Everglades has the best paid parking option (although I am biased living 1/4 mile from terminal 18).

Villageidiot Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Is there a covered garage close to T18 or is the open lot the only real choice? Map images show the Palms garage to be a good distance away. Believe my cruise in January is using T18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 The surface lot at Terminal 18 is fantastic. Tampa's valet parking arguably even better, but for a big ship terminal, it doesn't get better than T18 for self parking.
