In reply to Linda. It's not easy. You'll want to get an Uber/Lyft or taxi into town.

Hi there
We are arriving on the Marella Discovery cruise ship at the beginning of June and wondered how easy it is the walk from the terminal into downtown Fort Lauderdale especially around the canals and waterways

In reply to Paul Harrison. It's worth a call to the port, but I believe you have to have modifications to your car to park for free. Simply having a tag isn't enough.

Has anyone taken a 12 passenger van to the port and used the parking garage? or has anyone used the surface parking near the garage?

In reply to Bob Butterfield.

We think parking literally across the street from the ship is most convenient. Plus, you don’t have to wait on shuttles coming or going. Get off the ship, walk to your car, and you’re off.

That said, we typically opt for independent lots when we cruise due to the cost savings. But in our mind parking at the port is much more convenient.

I have done Park ‘N Go a few times, but have not done the Port Everglades Official Parking. So I wonder if your statement that “The official parking provided by the port is by far the most convenient” is true. Park ‘N Go (and maybe other off-site facilities) offer a valet service where you pull-in, unload your luggage (or sometimes they unload it for you), and you get transported to the front steps of the port terminal. I suspect there may be a lot more walking involved at the official parking, and if you didn’t drop off your luggage beforehand, you’ll be hauling it from your car to the terminal. That doesn’t seem as “convenient” as the off-site parking options. The only thing inconvenient is the shuttle ride, which pales in comparison to dragging your luggage through the parking lot.

In reply to Don. Thanks for letting us know. Keep in mind that rates can and do change based on season, economic conditions, etc.

You list the price of Park by the Ports as $6 per day, but when I went to make the reservation, the price was $8.99 per day for a regular size car. That’s a 50% discrepancy. A huge difference! Please update your information.

In reply to Val Gelo. Sorry to hear that. You should call the port directly and explain the situation. You can reach the port at 954-523-3404
