cruisebug722 Posted September 3, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Anyone use any of the off terminal parking sites while jumping on a cruise in Miami - Post Covid. It appears the place I had used for many years is now out of business. I know terminal parking is usually always available but previously had taken some longer cruises and at $22 a day it can become quite pricey. Would love to hear if anyone has recently used a site and your comments. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Floridian 26 Posted September 3, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2021 You might ask this under the Homeports section as all cruisers out of Miami have similar needs. Which did you use previously? We always used Premier Cruise Parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallnthensome Posted September 3, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Try the Florida departures forum as this doesn't really have anything to do with MSC cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted September 4, 2021 #8 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Since you are already located in FLA, why not leave your car at home, use 2 one-way car rentals, and not worry about parking and the associated costs? Worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I'm sure they will eventually be replaced but not until demand reaches pre-covid levels. There are so few ships sailing out of Miami right now (between covid and it being low season) that it would be hard for off-site operations to make much money. The demand just isn't there.

Yes, they are back up and running - spoke with them today and if you book by phone the price is even cheaper than booking online. Anxious to try as I have three trips booked for the end of this year and parking at the terminals can get expensive over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My NCL wellness check has me checking in at 10-10:30. Maybe I should call and see how accurate that is. I would assume they would be picking up passengers still at 9.

They would probably accommodate you however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisebug722 Posted September 28, 2021 Author #23 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Just got back from parking for 7 nights at Premier Parking. Very easy to find off of 95 South. Smooth operations to self park in covered parking. Van to the ship just getting ready to leave when I arrived so no wait (otherwise might have been 20 to 30 minutes- probably only one van at times dues to lack of customers). Close to the piers. Pick up wait time maybe 10 minutes. Smooth back to the parking terminal and exiting. Easy back on to 95 North. Will use them again in October. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisebug722 Posted October 30, 2021 Author #25 Share Posted October 30, 2021 For anyone keeping track of this posting. Used Premier again a week ago and entry and transport was smooth. Pick up after the trip was a bit chaotic as they are not back to full staff and did have to wait a bit for an empty van to arrive but all in all I'll still use them again in December. Having said that I was on MSC which was the first pick up point - some sailing on other cruise lines may not have feel that as they were continuing passed with full vans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
