cruise ship parking
 
Would like ideas on cruise parking in Fort Lauderdale. We leave on a Holland America cruise on Dec. 8 through 12/20.
Do not need covered parking for looking at best rate. Would like to get under $12.00 a day if possible.
Thanks

Last cruise we went on that departed from the Ft Lauderdale cruise terminal was in 2020 and it was so easy but even then it was $15.00 a day. Seemed reasonable to us as you simply walk out from the parking into the terminal and then the reverse when we returned plus you walk off with your luggage, so no having to locate it in the terminal.

Did you reserve parking?

Have you thought about hotel parking ? If you book one night—either before or after the cruise—extended parking is included at many area hotels.

While some hotels offer only an additional 7 nights, I have found a few that offer extended parking up to 10, and even 21 nights.

It’s always recommended to arrive in port city the day before sailing, so the hotel arrangement solves two issues.

Lists of properties can be found on booking sites such as

Really cannot recall if we reserved parking in advance or not but I do recall calling to find out the rates and the rules.
