Port Canaveral parking

[kelship]

Hi all. Have a weird scenario, but I think my main question is...what are the parking options at Port Canaveral? 

 

4 of us cruising on the Breakaway in April. (2 cabins)

 

1 person, me, flying in the day before. Renting a car, getting a hotel. 

 

2 people, driving from Western Florida, driving to port the day of the cruise. 

 

1 person driving down from Jax the day of, maybe.

 

As I can find, there are 3 parking options. 

1. Pay $300 for a hotel for 2 with parking, Jax person can hotel it with me. (This seems like the priciest option so probably least likely)

2. Park off site for about $60 for the week. Involves a shuttle to and from your car. 

3. Park very close to port for about $140 for the week. Can walk, I think, to and from the car. 

 

Is there something I'm missing? We are looking for the most economical solution for the drivers. All 3 drivers are retired, if there's a senior discount anywhere. 

 

Is there a downside to the offsite parking besides the fact that it is offsite?

 

Thank you in advance 🙂

Option 1 is OUT - friends are not staying at a hotel and cannot get parking unless some negotiation

Option 2 - BEST if you want to save money

Option 3 - most convenient but most expensive

 

For option 2, look at this table and pick one:

Thanks for the chart, that's very helpful! 

 

To verify, friend would definitely stay in hotel with me if she was parking there. 

 

She was undecided...if it wasnt too much more $$, she would have driven down the night before to the hotel with me.

But, since there is a much cheaper option for parking by itself looks like I'll have a solo night (in a different cheaper hotel) and my travel buddies will drive in the day of. 

 

Thanks again!
