Joecruiser62 Posted June 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 24, 2018 We're leaving on the Conquest out of Port Everglades in August. We've never been to this port before, so we were wondering what traffic would be like at the port. What time should we plan to be at the port for a 12:00 boarding time? Is the route to the terminal and parking well marked? I'm probably over thinking this, but any pointers would be appreciated.

OCruisers Posted June 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Will you be spending the night someplace on the way down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joecruiser62 Posted June 24, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Yes, we have reservations with a group at the Sheraton Four Points, not far from the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takinoff Posted June 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 24, 2018 We use park n go just out side the port. They shuttle you to and from the ship. They park the car, handle the bags, and drop you off right at your car on return. Sent from my SM-T550 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joecruiser62 Posted June 24, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted June 24, 2018 For information specifically about Port Everglades, check out the cruising section of their website: http://www.porteverglades.net. I've looked that over, but I guess I was hoping for something a little more informative. Sent from my NS-P11A8100 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted June 24, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2018 We park at the port terminal parking because it's easy and convenient. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteerageJoe Posted June 24, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) Saturdays can be busy around the Port. Mondays not so much. would watch my phone map for traffic congestion and plan accordingly (pick the least busy entrance into the port) Conquest docks at Terminal 4 meaning you are closer to the Northern end of the Port. Just point your car GPS to Walgreens 1680 SE 17th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316 From there you can see the entrance gate and signs for your ship! You can almost walk... You can park next door (open lot) or in Northport Garage behind the terminal but connected. Or you can park off-site and take shuttles in. http://cruiseporteverglades.us/port-everglades-parking/ Edited June 24, 2018 by SteerageJoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted June 24, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Park at the port for good security and convenience. The assist with your luggage by the Porters is very good. (A gratuity is appropriate.) Signage in the port is excellent as is signage along I-95 to get to the Port. SteerageJoe's comment about Conquest docking at Terminal 4 is correct and entering the port from 17th Street is the closest to the Terminal. I have not so, thus, I am not certain if the signage is as good as coming off I-595 into the Port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
