Yes, the drop you off right at the luggage drop, on the left of the entrance door. Check your luggage and you’ll have people directing you to the check in lines. Very simple in PE.

EDDY0827 Posted October 7, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 7, 2023 A dollar or two per bag is suggested, not required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that's the only spot that there allowed to disembark passengers, even if you want to carry your own luggage onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. But the ramp is right there anyway, if you just have a carryon. NP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we parked first and then rolled our bags to the check station. I will admit the parking garage challenged my sense of direction. Surprisingly, I found the car in the garage with no trouble 10 days later.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We drive down the night before even though it’s only a 4 hour drive. I can’t wait until CB sails out of Port Canaveral. I would probably feel comfortable driving to the port on embarkation day. It’s under 2 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avonlady6390 Posted October 7, 2023 #12 Share Posted October 7, 2023 We live in Ocala so drive down the day before and spend the night by port everglades princess going out of port Canaveral will be nice no hotel stay and their is a good parking lot behind the Radisson hotel.

skynight Posted October 7, 2023 #16 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Port Canaveral is nice for those that live nearby. For those that fly Ft. Lauderdale is more convenient arriving and departing by air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it required no, but not tipping is being cheap. Yes most of these workers are union longshoremen who make really good money. JMHO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauderdale is more convenient arriving and departing by air. There is a huge market of potential cruisers living in and around Orlando, especially during the winter. I also imagine the hope is that some folks will combine a cruise with an Orlando vacation. That would take a bucket load of money, so maybe that’s secondary. I certainly agree that FLL is incredibly convenient to the port and served by a decent selection of hotels for the night before. Twenty years ago, we would fly into FLL for a Miami cruise because it was cheaper and easier to deal with than MIA. I don’t know if that’s still true but it’s still a smaller city.

voljeep Posted October 8, 2023 #24 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Not currently interested in the CB at all out of Canaveral. Will that change is less than a month now? Lots of other choices out of Port Canaveral with newer ships ... P could have a least parked the Royal or Regal there for the inaugural season. May be a one and done deal for P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
