Parking at Port Canaveral

[rollie]

We will be driving to the port.  Wondering if parking at the port is convenient?  Is it often full?  We are in Yacht Club, so is there a baggage drop off?

There is a parking garage across the street from the terminal (Terminal 10). There is a baggage drop area, but traffic tends to move slowly as you go through an elliptical drive to find a space to unload.  If you don't have too much luggage and you can roll it, you may be better off to use the garage.  The YC tent is right by the escalator up to the terminal.

Thanks for your help.  This is our first MSC cruise.  Looking forward to the Yacht Club.

Below is a view.  It is maybe a 6-8 minute walk from the garage to YC check in.  Walk through the covered walkway between where it repeats Roland Drive, and then go to the right.  If you wanted to drop of luggage and park, then do a loop from the far right words for Charles M Rowland Drive, then circle around to pull into the drop-off area (the the right of YC tent area, and then circle around to find the garage entry.

FYI the "white" YC tent was "blue" a few weeks ago.  Located in the same spot, base of escalators - but it did throw us off for a few seconds.

Are we allowed to park on the surface parking area?  It seems a bit closer to the entrance.  Thanks

I believe you can.

I parked in the garage, lowest level.  There was no one parked outside when I arrived, and I wasn’t very early.  But when I debarked the outside lots were full.  I was just glad to be parked out of the sun. August.  But next cruise is December so might like outside.  EM

Considering the Florida sun, I’d park in the covered garage.

We're cruising in December on a 3 day cruise. I don't think the sun will be an issue.  I'm looking for a short  walk with luggage.

I saw a relative recent video saying they went to prepay when driving into the lot/ramp to avoid long delays leaving.  Has anybody gotten stuck in the ramp for a lengthy delay?

[Essiesmom]

I thought everyone had to prepay.  EM

How much is parking?

[Essiesmom]

Per the port website, portCanaveral.com, it is $17/day plus tax.  EM

Awesome.  Considering that parking at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal is $45/day, that's a relative bargain.  Driving down to Orlando in January to drop my daughter off for her Disney Internship and considering a 3 day from Port Canaveral while we are down there.   That will work out well.
