NelleS Posted November 26, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Just wanted to let you folks know that DH & I used Park 'N Go at Port Everglades for the first time. We are very happy with the place and will use them again for our April cruise. We booked on line, and paid in advance. It was less than $90 for 11 days. Shuttle was waiting when we arrived for departure, and just a little wait upon return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roobear512 Posted November 27, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Thanks for that information. I was just looking at them on the Carnival website. We still haven't decided if we are going to fly or drive. But will definitely park there if we drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainmare Posted November 27, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2011 We're using them im January. Thank you for the report. What time did you arrive for embarkation and how many ships were in port. We are lucky there will only be two when we leave and when we go home.

What time did you arrive for embarkation and how many ships were in port. We are lucky there will only be two when we leave and when we go home. We got there Monday, 11/14, at around noon, maybe a little later. Our ship, the Zuiderdam, appeared to be the only ship there at the time. When we arrived back on Friday, 11/25, it seemed we were the only ship docked then, too. HTH, Ellen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmare Posted November 29, 2011 #6 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Thank you We're on the Noordam with a Princess ship in port so not a huge port load. Am sort of planning to arrive in that time frame, or a bit earlier, would like to catch the embarkation lunch in the MDR. Ours is depart on Friday and back on Monday.

Crazy Gramps Posted November 29, 2011 #7 Share Posted November 29, 2011 We have used them on all our HAL cruises. Shuttle was excellent. For HAL cruisers they had the luggage drop off service. They took your bags in the parking lot and the enxt time you saw them it was in your cabin. If I remember correctly the charge was $6.00 a bag. They also give a AAA discount Gramps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riley2 Posted November 29, 2011 #8 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Is there a discount coupon available for this Park'N Go? I had one but it has expired. If there is one, how do you get it? Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackJack2 Posted November 30, 2011 #9 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Googled ParknGo - several sites appeared. What is the web address of ParknGo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riley2 Posted November 30, 2011 #10 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I found their Ft. Lauderdale website at this web address, but don't know how to get to the discount coupon. Price is good even without the coupon. The coupon I had that has since expired was good for $5.99 a day. https://www.bookparkngo.com/index.php?main_page=parking_step1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ander026 Posted November 30, 2011 #12 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I will be using the ParkNGo for the first time for my Cruise on Sunday on the Navigator. Since I noticed that the Navigator will be departing from Terminal 29 and would have to take a shuttle from Port Parking I figured I would save some money and park outside the Port.

If its for Park'N'Go, where you do imput that into your reservation as I see not place on the cash out reservations for Seniors Rates or AAA or Military(if they offer such). Thanks! ps. its still a cheap deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also give a AAA discount Gramps According to Park n'Go, not true - following is the reply I received from them: That's not true. Your bags ride right next to you on the shuttle and we drop you and your baggage together at the porter for your ship's terminal. I think whoever posted that information is confused? The porters at the ship are not affiliated with us but they will take care of your checked luggage. Our only "help with luggage" is our driver taking it from your trunk onto the shuttle, and off the shuttle at the ship. (plus we do the same in reverse) We don't charge by the bag or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momrnc Posted June 6, 2013 #15 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Thanks so much for the posts on Park N Go. I think saving money any way you can...no matter what you are doing, is great! Also concerned about safety and if it was a "real deal" or not, but after seeing so many posts, we are going to use Park N Go this trip from Ft. Lauderdale.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endobaby Posted June 15, 2013 #16 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks for the information on the Park and Go. Does anyone know how far from the ports are from these parking. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bases5 Posted August 24, 2013 #17 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Less Than a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdiamond Posted August 24, 2013 #18 Share Posted August 24, 2013 We have always used ParkNFly with good results. The only reason we have not used Park N Go is that sometimes the ydo valet parking of which we are not too fond due to the fact that we alwys have a defensive weapon in our vehicle.

cvhbauman Posted September 29, 2013 #19 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Is it feasible to walk to the cruise ship from either off-site parking (Park 'N Go or Park and Fly)? Google maps puts it at 1.2 miles for either--not a problem for us, but it doesn't look like there are sidewalks--though there are shoulders and grassy areas, it seems. Will the port authorities even let us in on foot? We've walked from the Holiday Inn Express in Jacksonville to that port, and from Penn Station to the Port of New York. Or MUST we take the shuttles?

soflacrzr Posted September 29, 2013 #20 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I use FLL Park Safe. We use them a lot when flying out, and I always see people arriving there for cruises too. I have never had any problems with them at all. Very fast shuttle service on both sides. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want to risk getting injured in a high traffic area when you can hop on the free shuttle and be dropped off in the front of the terminal? Just curious.......:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvhbauman Posted September 29, 2013 #23 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Oviedo32765--Thanks for the phone #--no one there today, but will call Monday. The facilities booklet, while interesting, didn't address arriving on foot (or not). GTO-Girl--Park & Fly doesn't send any passengers TO the port until 11AM. Park & Go says the cruise port doesn't "recommend" arriving before 11--but doesn't indicate if they WILL take people before then. We will probably arrive around 10-10:30, but DH hates waiting--or at least would prefer to wait at the terminal than in the car park. Of course, if security won't let us in on foot, then it really doesn't matter. While waiting for the port to open, I thought I'd try boards.

cvhbauman Posted September 30, 2013 #24 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I just spoke with a pleasant woman at the Port Authority who told me that yes, people on foot will not be turned away from the security gates as long as they have the required cruise documents and photo ID. She cautioned me, though, that there are no sidewalks, and construction work :eek: going on, so to be careful if we walked. Speaking to an employee at Park & Go yesterday, I was told that they shuttle you "on demand" (his term) after we park the car, so it would SEEM that walking shouldn't be necessary, but it is possible.
