bb2810 Posted February 14, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2007 We have not sailed from Port Everglades in 4 years. We have never in the past had difficulty parking in the Midport Parking Garage across from Passenger Terminal #25. Ships are getting larger though. We are sailing on the Maasdam on a Monday in March and fear the garage could be full from the weekend departures. Does anyone have recent experience with finding spaces at the Midport Parking Garage?

trvlcrzy Posted February 15, 2007 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2007 We have driven to ports twice. I have never seen an overwhelming number of vehicles to make me afraid of not having a park. A lot of passengers fly, so they have no vehicle to park... leaving plenty of space for folks like you and me!!! (I just wish I were in Florida to avoid that long drive to get there! The economical cars don't have as much leg room.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma080448 Posted February 17, 2007 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2007 We have never had a problem parking in Fort Lauderdale. We were on the Maasdam in January and there were at least 10 ships in port including the Amsterdam leaving the world cruise and parking was available in the garage.

Stakeout Posted February 17, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2007 having sailed out of P-E about 25 times.. have never had a problem parking at that particular garage .. even during the busy Christmas-New Years Holiday cruise weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fll Posted February 17, 2007 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Don't know how the gargage is at the port but you could also look into Park 'n Fly (www.parknfly.com) It is very close to the port and provide you shuttle service to and from. The website can give you the daily fee. We live in Fort Lauderdale and use it all the time for air travel and once a cruise. We find it very convenient.

peaches from georgia Posted February 17, 2007 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2007 We always use the Midport Garage, as recently as October, and have never had a problem parking. Not only that, but I have never heard of anyone having a problem. It's a BIG parking deck and I bet they have room for way more than the max # of people who would ever drive.

jammy918 Posted March 17, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Haven't used the Midport garage but have used Park by the Ports (http://www.parkbytheports.com) on a couple of occasions and was pleased with them. Free shuttle service, the rate was lower if you reserved online ahead of time. Hope this helps! Bon Voyage! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted March 17, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 17, 2017 having sailed out of P-E about 25 times.. have never had a problem parking at that particular garage .. even during the busy Christmas-New Years Holiday cruise weeks This has been my experience as well. On 12/27/16, after entering the garage, I was surprised to find the number of spaces available and found one that was close to the East side elevators. Just a word of advice to relieve anxiety: try to arrive at the port in late morning, trying to time it between when the previous guests will have disembarked and left and before the majority of the embarking guests have arrived. I've found the 10:45-11:30 time frame to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
