pepsicruiser Posted October 14, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Port Canaveral has motels with free parking if you stay there prior to cruise. Do you know of anything like this for cruises out of Miami? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted October 14, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I don't believe any of the hotels in the downtown Miami area or in Miami Beach offer such a benefit. If there are any, they are more likely out by the airport or in one of the communities just outside of Miami proper. Perhaps someone has found such a property but if so, I haven't seen any posts revealing that information.:o You may have to bite the bullet and pay to park at the pier.

pepsicruiser Posted October 14, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Negc first I have to say WOW for all those Jewel cruises next year. I'm actually booked on the 10/27 with you. But like you say I may have to do the pier parking thing. It's not a big deal but thought I'd throw it out there as we are driving to Fla this winter and thought we'd add a cruise into the snowbird Fla stay.

AllieInMD Posted October 14, 2008 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2008 You might do better on the Departures boards. However, you can try http://www.parksleepfly.com/cruiseport-hotels-rooms.html Port Canaveral has motels with free parking if you stay there prior to cruise.

wrp96 Posted October 14, 2008 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Negc first I have to say WOW for all those Jewel cruises next year. Yes, Bill does have an addiction to the Jewel. He's tried to break it by sailing other ships but for some reason he keeps coming back to her. I think they put something in the water to keep him coming back.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rt1092 Posted October 14, 2008 #6 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I've looked for the same thing. Isn't much for cruise and park. But try park and fly. There are a few choices and they are much cheaper. La Quinta is one of them You will have to cab it from the hotel to the pier and back. But the rates are great.

pepsicruiser Posted October 14, 2008 Author #7 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Allie you were a great help. I went to the website and found LaQuinta for $107 per night with hot breakfast, free parking and free shuttle to Port. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the LaQuinta East had the free shuttle included where the other one didn't. It also had a hot breakfast and parking for $107 for January.

srqDan Posted October 14, 2008 #9 Share Posted October 14, 2008 We just did the free parking thing at the Hyatt Place by the airport. Free parking for up to two weeks (make sure you get a paper for the dashboard when you check in). I think they even have a shuttle to the pier. When reserving, scroll down through all the rates to find the one with parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsicruiser Posted October 14, 2008 Author #10 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I called the LaQuinta and was told they don't have special rates for parking. We do have to register the car and it probably means its our responsibility for parked car, but otherwise no other fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it is because I hope that one of these times you and/or Carol will be onboard and we can finally get to meet in person.:D ;) Or to quote from "The Godfather". Just when I think I got out, they drag me back in":rolleyes: As long as they keep sailing the Jewel to or from Boston, we're hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for some reason that one goes bye-bye though, don't be surprised if I show up on Jewel.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She sure made the Baltics and TransAtlantic memorable! Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That assumes of course, that the rumors of NCL financial woes are exaggerated. Boynton Beth could be correct about Gia, although I stuck with bottled beer when we were in the Odyssey. Rita is hoping to hear from here while the ship is in drydock next week.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Quinta East is the one most recommended here for the parking car free. make sure you are looking at that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
