kimandal Posted October 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2017 We'll be taking our first cruise 11/11/17 on Freedom and I'm driving to Ft Lauderdale. I'd appreciate any information about parking for the duration of the cruise at a reasonable cost and either offer transport to the dock or are a reasonable distance for taxi or Uber. Parking at the hotel where we are staying costs more than I'd like.... I'm also open to other parking options if anyone knows of safe, cost-effective alternative(s). Looking forward to new experiences and new acquaintances! Kim and Alvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare APDMOM Posted October 22, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Did much research on this for our parking in Fort Lauderdale. Our go to place is now always Park N Go. They have excellent service. Pay and book ahead online for additional savings. They even give a complimentary bottle of water for everyone upon return from you cruise. Definitely a nice gesture, as we are usually thirsty by the time we get through customs. :) Edited October 22, 2017 by APDMOM typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movierunner Posted October 22, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2017 we did park N Go on our first cruise in Mar. only minutes from port. Shuttle was fast to & from port, bonus when you pickup your car-bottle of cold water. Book online & was less than 1/2 price of port parking.

Wingman2010 Posted October 22, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2017 +1 for Park N Go. They were awesome on our recent Harmony cruise. They didn't charge us for the extra parking days because of our extended hurricane cruise. Online booking is the way to go..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villager70 Posted October 22, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Park & go are wonderful. they have 23 shuttles and we have used them for around 5 years now. Get a card from them and every 10 get a free day. Have them booked for our back to back freedom 11-25, again in Feb. & April. Pay in advance is cheaper. great web site.

kimandal Posted October 22, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Thank you to Wingman2010, APDMOM, villager70 and movierunner for the info. I will be happy to get this taken care of online and be ready to enjoy the cruise....!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kfoot Posted October 23, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Another vote for Park-N-Go. I've use them quite a few times. Pre-booking is the way to go. On my August cruise I priced them and Park-N-Fly. Of course Park-N-Fly came approx $60 higher. Can't understand why such a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety63 Posted October 23, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Another affirmative for Park N Go. Professional and courteous. Close to port and have used then for years. We have enjoyed the free day after 10 too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bocyn Posted March 12, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Another BIG fan of Park N Go in FLL. The lot is right off I595, drop off your bags, they park your car, the ship terminal is a short drive away. When you return, the shuttle is right there waiting for you at the terminal, they have your car lined up in their lot, they drop you right at your car and load the bags into the trunk and off you go. Couldn't be any easier. And making an advance reservation and pre-paying your stay is the inexpensive way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Abuelo Posted March 12, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The midport garage is covered. You will appreciate this when you're getting into your car after the cruise, and won't turn into steam. It is also more expensive. It's easier on embarkation day, because you drop off your luggage at the terminal, then go to parking, shuttle back. After the cruise is over, the shuttle will drop you off in front of the garage and you're on your own with the small elevators to get your luggage back to your car - assuming you find it, because the parking spaces aren't well marked. The Park N Go is less expensive, and the shuttle drops you off near your car (so I'm told). If you don't mind baking in your car as you drive off, it's a more convenient option.

RVRCLC Posted March 12, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Park N Go Easy to reach. Our hotel is north of 595 so we go south on S Andrews Ave to Eller Dr and right around to their driveway. Never have to get on the freeway, no traffic. (Look at Google map) When going home it’s very easy to get right on 595.

klb1978 Posted March 13, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 13, 2018 We have used Park N Go in both Part Canaveral and Port Everglades. Easy and much less money. I plan to use again for our upcoming Oasis cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP's cruise left on 11/11/17. But perhaps you'll help someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
