Reading What a Lot Lists About Its Setup
Leaving a vehicle for a week or more makes lot details important. Read the listing to see what that lot says about its setup, such as access, staff or hours. No lot can promise more than what its listing says. If one of those matters to you and it is not listed, ask the lot before you book.
Shuttles and Getting to Your Ship
Read the listing for the shuttle hours and the pickup steps, and check that they match your sailing day and your return day. Ask where the shuttle meets you when you come back, and whether it can handle heavy bags.
Match the Terminal to Your Ship
Port Everglades has several cruise terminals. Your cruise line lists yours in your documents.
Choosing the Right Fit
- Convenience: With heavy luggage, young children or mobility needs, check each lot's shuttle details.
- Timing: Compare lot hours with your check-in time.
