mrdood Posted June 26, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Are there any hotels in the Mobile area that allow you to leave your car parked and shuttle you to the ship? All the port information on hotels, transportation, parking etc. is kept in a separate forum, here is a link: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Ports Posted June 26, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2007 When we stayed at the Radisson Admiral Semmes, the rate was about $119 including the parking as part of the package. Unfortunately, I cannot reccomend this hotel - too many problems to list here, though others have had a better experience. For Mobile, or any other port or city, try parksleepfly dot com - a great resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzman Posted June 27, 2007 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2007 The convenience of parking in the cruise terminal, which is only moments away from the passenger checkin area, is well worth the extra 25 or 30 bucks to park there IMHO. Park & ride could take an hour or more of your time vs parking at the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike1964 Posted June 27, 2007 #7 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Last November we left our car under the I-10 bridge right by the port and walked our luggage right up to the pier. It was about a 1 block walk if that. There is a gravel area under the viaduct that has room for lots of vehicles. There were probably 50-75 vehilces parked there with us. The best part about it was it was free!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I know if I am in the right place? Easier to show you a picture. The area you are refering to is under the off ramps right across the street from the terminal parking garage. Evidently you will find many cars parking there. Keep in mind there is NO security for that area and no guarantee of your car being in pristine condition on your return. With that said, many on these boards have parked there without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckycruzer Posted June 27, 2007 #11 Share Posted June 27, 2007 insurance (parking at Adm Semmes)rather than leaving my nice car in an unttended, non fenced in, right off the interstate area, where no other business goes on other than port days. While Mobiles finest does a drive by on their usual rounds, they dont monitor it particularly.so no one would notice a person around all the cars parked there...come to think of it..I need to get new tires:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE] YOU say too many problems to list, but if you could share some of those you experienced, CC readers can determine if they are chronic or correctable, universal or unique to you. YES, other Reviewers have been more kind to the Admiral Semmes for one pre-night cruise stay & parking package. Thanks for sharing your opinion and expanding upon it !
