lovetocruisesince1979 Posted August 28, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2009 We are cruising in Sept on the Holiday before she is sent away. This will be the first time to sail from Mobile so I have a few questions and I could use the information. Is there a lot of walking from the parking to the ship ? Ample handicap parking ? Are there convienient motels/hotels close to the port ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeythyme Posted August 28, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 28, 2009 The Mobile port is modern and relatively small, probably a good combination for you. Of the four we have sailed from [Miami, Canaveral, NOLA and Mobile] Mobile is easily the best for embarkation and debarkation. Some of that may be attributable to the size of the ship [around 1,500 passengers]; when Fantasy moves there, we will see. In my opinion, you will find it a breeze compared to most other ports. Parking and everything else are under the same roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskier Posted August 28, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 28, 2009 The parking garage is above the terminal. You take an elevator back down to the ground floor. Admiral Semmes hotel is several blocks away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pull in, drop your luggage, go up a ramp, pay to park, take the elevator down, and you are standing in the check-in line at security. They do have overflow parking lots across the street, just a minute walk away. They do have handicapped parking slots, but I can't say if they are "ample". They have the legal amount, right next to the elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they installed the new jetway for Fantasy yet? I believe the sign that says "NO PARKING" and "TOW-AWAY ZONE" is why you dont see me parked there. :p The new gangway is suppose to be in operation starting Oct 1st. They should be starting on it soon per the news article. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
