TheoneandonlyMICAH Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I am on Adventure of the Seas departing June 7th and understand for this ship it departs out of terminal 5 of the northern terminals at Port Canaveral. I understand there is a massive parking garage being built nearĀ the terminals 5 and 6. I have seen on Google Maps street view the traffic is pretty heavy leading into these terminals. My question is, if you have departed recently from terminal 5, how long did it take to get into the terminal to drop off your bags. I have an 11:30 am arrival with a 2-hour drive from Palm Beach Gardens, FL. I just want to know how much more time I need to allow to get into this area.

Matt Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Since they fixed it so you pay to park when you enter (instead of after the cruise), I don't think there's much of a traffic situation to contend with. jagnew and Snotarni 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SplashOfWater Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I am currently on Adventure (Apr 26 sailing). We also sailed on Adventure a couple weeks ago on the Apr 12 sailing. There was no traffic getting to or into Terminal 5.Ā Ā We had an 11:30am arrival time both times and we arrived at the terminal/garage a little after 10am. No one checks your arrival time.Ā TheoneandonlyMICAH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we have a 11:30 time to check in, we also have a suite. So it became, what time did we really want to get there. Trying to get wife and 9 year old daughter up early, even though they know we are going on a cruise, is difficult. Things get overlooked and we are that family that has to turn around 5 minutes away from the house to go back and grab something that was forgotten. lol.Ā Ā Thanks for the info. We have sailed out of terminal 1 on Harmony and Wonder and have thought it was a very smooth flow to get in and out.Ā SplashOfWater 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get there and get onboard, head to the Schooner bar and order a Negroni for me... Lol. I will be there around 11 to join you.Ā PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Matt, We're staying at the Hampton Inn across from the port.Ā Is it feasible to walk from there or do we need to set up transportation?Ā We're able-bodied people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is a few miles to walk, ai would not want to contented with the cars going over the bridge to get to terminal 5 nor the traffic around terminal 1. As @Matt would say, it's easier to grab a Lyft or Uber. Snotarni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more concerned about the new parking garage they are building there causing back ups into terminal 5 and 6. I know RoyalĀ and Carnival use those same terminals with traffic for Disney funneling in through the same area.Ā Ā Looking at the Google Street view is what got me a little worried. Lol. It does not look all to good. However... I will arrive early to avoid this and hopefully meet @smokeybandit for a cocktail at noon on embarkation day.

I pulled up the Google Street View and at the bottom it says the image was captured in Jan 2023...over a year ago. According to the Port Canaveral Cruise schedule, the only ship over in the Terminal A area will be the Disney Wish. There shouldn't be much traffic.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure a lot of things are more stremlined. I was looking at the port schedule for our cruise and saw this. While Allure is out of terminal 1, I suspect it will be nice smooth drive.Ā Ā SplashOfWater 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last2Know Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I took a 5-nighter from there a month ago.Ā I arrived at 1045am and traffic was a little heavy with the turn lane backing up into the right-hand travel lane.Ā Part of the back up was caused by the traffic being directed to the bag drop prior to parking.Ā I found an alternate route was available and parked.Ā I was traveling light since it was a shorter cruise and there was no need to wait in the bag drop line.Ā I parked on the same level as the elevated walkway, made my way to the terminal and was checked in by 11:15am. fireclan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall @MattĀ talking about this in a podcast. I think others have reported only having to pay for the first sailing as the parking people have no way to know if your are doing b2b or even a b2b2b sailing. You will only pay for the first sailing.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplashOfWater Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago Both times we were at Terminal 5 in April, there were no gates when leaving at the end of the cruise. Unlike Terminal 1 where you may have to scan your receipt on leaving before the gate will open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
