chiokie Posted January 27, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2009 When Princess has two ships in FLL what terminals do they use? On 02/08/09 the Crown and the Emerald are in port. I know that Princess uses terminal 2 but I am not sure it would handle two ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox Fan Cruiser Posted January 27, 2009 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2009 There will be signs on the road in port pointing you to the correct ship so just pay attention to the ship name on the signs and not just the Princess logo. And since both ships look exactly the same, be very sure which ship you are going to.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysalis Posted January 27, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I have seen two Princess ships at the Pier 2 location at the same time. Last year, the Emerald and the Grand were both there.....the Emerald docked along the main channel, and the Grand facing east and west in the basin immediately to the south.

TwinCruiserMom Posted January 27, 2009 #6 Share Posted January 27, 2009 When we returned to Port Everglades on December 20th, the Ruby was in berth #2 and the Emerald went to #18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisislou Posted January 27, 2009 #7 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I ask the same question to a Princes rep. for my Ruby cruise leaving Ft Lauderdale on Feb 28. She said that it was showing terminal #1 for the outbound and #2 for the return. I have never seen it that way but hope it is true. Since I drive and park @ the terminal it makes life a lot easier if the ship starts and returns at the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, but this is always my biggest concern when we drive down to Ft. Lauderdale, are we leaving and returning from the same terminal area. On at least 2 different occasions we have left from the south terminal area and returned to the north area and because we knew this in advance we parked in the returning area after dropping off the luggage and either walked or caught a shuttle back. It just seems a lot easier to have the car close so all we need to do is have the porter take the bags up to the parking area (for a nice tip) and off we go. On the upcoming cruise we have the Crown in port the same time as the Island. Until we see the Harbormaster's report, I will guess that the Crown has #2 because of her size and we'll get #18 or 25 or something in between as I have seen Princess in a variety of different pier locations in that area. On the return, the Island is the only Princess ship in port so we'll have #2 which means I get to do the car logistic game again (unless they put both ships in the northern terminal or the Crown takes the southern terminal. Oh well, wait and see and if that is the only issue for the cruise, I'm a happy guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we frequently drive down from Ontario, and also like to leave the car at the terminal that we are returning to. Catching the bus is a pain....much easier to travel by yourself between locations in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinChris Posted January 27, 2009 #11 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Be ware WHEN #1 AND #2 ARE BOTH IN USE BY Princess. This tends to overload the taxi/bus/drop-off area. Mayhem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginbuck Posted January 27, 2009 #12 Share Posted January 27, 2009 We will be boarding the Pacific Princess at berth #25 according to the website referenced upthread. Does anyone know if it is walkable to a store that sells Coke/water from this part of the terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
