Hi - The lot is not a covered so yes it will be subject to sunlight. I am led to believe that the lot has 24 hour security, but I have no proof of that as I parked my car and then came back to it. Nothing was missing and I'm sure the parking lot has attendants and shuttles there daily, every day a cruise ship is departing. Overall it seemed a proffessionaly run operation.

I have attached another review that I had used when I originally made my choice, this review has a link directly to the Premier Website.

Can you tell me what the lot was like? Is it covered or is your vehicle in the direct sun? Did you feel it was secure? Thanks

The Original Post was for Port of Miami but somewhere through the postings it changed to Fort Lauderdale and I thought about asking you on your last reply whether you mean't Port of Miami or FLL.

Anyway if you are ever going out of P of M, it maybe worth thinking about, my experience was of a positive nature.

Oh, you know... I never said anything about the Port of Miami. I only dealt with them in FLL, not Miami. I really can't say where their lot is in Miami. No experience there.

After reading all of the comments after booking Premier parking ventures, as I said I was very concerned. After using them I can only express what I felt was really good service. You made a statement that you would sour their name "on every website I can find" All I am saying is that my experience was of a positive nature.

Another thing is I don't recall seeing a nightclub anywhere near the parking lot so maybe the lot has changed location to the one you parked at earlier in the year. That being the case this lot maybe much easier to find, these are the directions I was sent, via email with my ticket confirmation, and it was just impossible to miss the lot.

Directions

From I-95

- Take exit 3B for NW 8th St toward Port of Miami/Orange Bowl

- Turn left onto NW8th St

- Look for Lot #58 on the left hand side

It's was about 600 yds on the left hand side after you make the left turn off the 3B exit from the I-95. And it's only 400 yds back to the north on-ramp of the I-95.

I had booked with Premier Parking Ventures in Miami before I read these comments, 5 weeks ago. After reading them I was really worried at what I had got myself into. I have just returned from my cruise on Carnival Liberty to Eastern Caribbean and thought I would write in and give my analysis.

The cost for the week was $68.35 Saturday to Saturday, I had zero trouble finding the lot (811 NW 1st Court, Miami, FL 33136) The booking confirmation directions were unmissable, anyone not being able to find this must have zero sense of direction and shouldn't be driving a motor vehicle. There were plenty of other fellow cruisers using the parking. There was a tent set up to register and the transport was there waiting to take us to the cruise terminal. We were given a sticker on leaving the transport at the dock to show on our return.

On our return there were 4 cruise ships disembarking so things were a bit crazy but it took us 5 minutes to find our pickup point and a further 5 minutes before we were on a transport back to the parking lot. When we got there the registration tent was pitched there again and another group of cruisers were registering without issue, we jumped in our car and left, 400 yards and we were back on the Interstate 95.

All in all a very painless experience and one which I would have no problem in doing again.
