Port garage or off-site lot?

  • Park at the port for the shortest walk with bags, a garage that’s staffed on cruise mornings, and no shuttle to wait for on return day.
  • Use an off-site lot for a cruise of 4 nights or more, when the saving covers the shuttle wait. Groups of five or more pay extra per head on most lot shuttles.

Staying the night before? Some hotels keep the car for less; see park-and-cruise hotels.
