Park N Cruise

This place is amazing! We recently just took our first cruise and were a little overwhelmed about parking. With so many options we wanted to make sure our car was safe and hopefully save some money!
They are very conveniently located to both I-​95 and the port. We found them with no problems :) We pulled in the gates and within 1 minute our bags were out of the car (seriously, be prepared… they are on top of things!) and they told us where to park. 5 minutes later we were on a bus (with island music and refreshing AC) and headed to the ship… Which was less than 3 minutes away! They did all the heavy lifting and hauling for us which was a great way to start (and end) the vacation!
When we left the ship, we walked out of customs and they were just magically waiting for us!!! We didn’t have to call or wait :)
Seriously, do yourself a favor and use them! Save yourself some hassle (and money!) and park with them!

I was leery to reserve and pay ahead of time for a place I had never seen or used before, but after reading the reviews, I went through with it. I could not have been more pleased with the entire process from the moment we drove onto the lot to the moment we drove away. They unloaded our bags, offered us valet option (we kindly declined), led us to the check in window… Within 20 minutes (including time to use the bathroom, which was super clean!) we were unloaded, parked, checked in, and on the shuttle riding to the port. It’s only a 5 – 10 min ride to the ship. After our trip, we handed the driver our ticket and we were back in our car about 15 minutes after exiting customs from the ship. I can truly say that I can’t imagine a more efficient process. Extremely pleased! Apparently some other lots require that you leave your keys with them, but Park N Cruise does not.

Great service and if you review the place you get two free, cold bottles of water! When we got here there was no line at all and got escorted right into a shuttle directly to the cruise!

It makes me sad that so many Unilocalers posted such negative reviews! My husband and I used Park N Cruise this weekend for our cruise to the Bahamas, and everything went smoothly and quickly. The staff was professional and enthusiastic, and our car was kept safely in the lot. Sure it was a bit dirty from the dust and the wind when we got back, but we weren’t expecting a sparkly car wash service while we were gone anyway ;)
Also, both on our way to the port and back from the port we didn’t have to wait any longer than 3 minutes to catch a shuttle. I’d definitely use Park N Cruise again! Such a money saver!

My wife and I were the only two passengers around at 2:50, and I overheard the owner calling his shuttle drivers to make sure they were on their way so that we got to our ship for our 3:00 boarding time. I really appreciated that.
Upon returning from our cruise, he again made our experience great when I asked him about what to do with our colored marker (they color code the parking with cards under windshield wipers). I didn’t have to track anybody down, he just took it and apologized that I had to even ask (I guess the markers are supposed to be removed for us before we get back).
Really great experience; will use again!

We rented a car out of Orlando because it was cheaper to drive and park for our party of three than it was to take a shuttle. After doing some research, I found that Park N Cruise was definitely the cheapest/​best option for us.
The location was very easy to find, right off the freeway. They directed us right where to go and then a friendly young man unloaded our luggage onto a cart and parked our car for us. I handed them my printed confirmation from when I had prepaid earlier in the month, and we were good to go!
There is a waiting area with a sign designating which ship you are going on. The shuttle driver Penny informed us since we were the first people to arrive, they would give others 15 minutes before they headed to the port. The waiting area is nothing fancy, just some picnic tables inside a large garage, but it’s just fine for the purpose it serves. A few more people trickled in, and a short 5 minute drive put us at the Royal Caribbean terminal.
On the way back, we walked off the ship and a shuttle pulled right up. We hopped on along with some other passengers, and 5 minutes later we were back at Park N Cruise and they were pulling up with our car.
To sum it up:
Loved the online booking, it saved us some time and peace of mind.
Check-​in was quick and easy.
Shuttles were prompt and a short ride to the port.
Over all we had a very smooth experience here, and I would definitely use their services again.

The only reason I’m giving them 2 stars (and not 1) is because the shuttle drivers are awesome. We had Glenn and he was very nice and helpful.
The place itself is okay. I was very upset to find out after returning from our 7 day cruise, my car had been left uncovered the whole time. My car was hot and filthy. And before we left, I reminded the cashier to tell the driver we wanted it covered. She gave me attitude and told me she would take care of it. Upon returning, I asked the guy who pulled it up, and he said it hasn’t been covered the whole time and told me the cashier never told him! He apologized and gave me my $ 10 back. The cashier (same one) still had attitude and never apologized even though it was her fault! I wanted it covered because my rubber panels are cracking from the heat! Who cares about $ 10 when your car is roasting?
If you choose this place, make sure you visually see the cashier tell the driver because she apparently needs some help.

Best price to park while away on cruise and very organized! Triple A members get an additional discount so my 4 days of cruising only cost me $ 20 plus tax! Amazing job! Will come back here again!

Great service and easy to access. Fast delivery and pickup from cruise terminal for our family carnival cruise. We had two kids including a stroller and had no problems with logistics. We plan on using the park and cruise next time we travel from Port Canaveral

Was kind of skeptical after reading reviews, but so glad we used this off site parking facility. Very organized, easy to find, and very short wait time to depart to cruise terminal and very short wait time to be picked up. We traveled with 5 adults and 2 kids and the transportation van had plenty of room… a/​c may have needed to be recharged but it wasn’t bad. You pull up, unload your bags onto a cart, your party goes over to the transportation van while you park your car. You come back up to the office (take your car keys on your cruise with you), pay and are on your way. NO hidden fees… roughly $ 50 for 4 days. Plenty of space around my SUV. It is a gravel lot, but who cares? There isn’t anyone out there doing donuts throwing rocks all over your vehicle. The lot is fenced in, so I’m assuming it’s locked up at night. They have «not liable for damage, etc» signs but I’ve been to other more expensive places with the same policy. They have water and sodas for sale too… very grateful for the water! They have a rewards cards… stay 4 times and 5^th is free… will definitely be using them again. 5÷22÷2015

After years of loyal business i won’t be parking my vehicle here again ! Completely unorganized, waited 45 minutes to be shuttled over to the Port it what seemed like a «Hired» taxi van where we squashed in, it was so bad the minivan would scrape underneath every time we went over a bump ! As for «plenty of space» in between cars, Really ?? I don’t think so, when they had me park, I allowed two feet from the car next to me, but the parking attendant had me back up and park closer, so as to that reviewer, you must have a body composition of a flat screen tv ! These people make money on how many cars they can fit in the parking lot, not giving you a well spaced parking spot !
We waited for almost an hour to be picked up by the return shuttle (again packing us like sardines). After picking up the car and returning home, I noticed a ding and immediately called them and left a message with no call back, surprise surprise …
I’d rather pay 30% more and park in the Port parking area.

Self parked my car with plenty of room to spare. Staff was friendly and helpful. Didn’t have much of a wait leaving or returning. Would use again as I didn’t have any problems. BTW there’s nothing left on your license plate or car that stains and I came back to my car as I left it.

Very convenient, fast, well organized, nice and friendly staff. Very close to the port. Shuttle was outside ready when we came off the ship. Nice facility, water available inside for purchase which was very welcome. Highly recommended.

This offsite parking facility was so much better when they had a self park model. Now they «valet» to cram vehicles into every square inch of property. This decision resulted in a very long line to get into the lot (approx. 25 min) and an overall drop-​off time of 60 min. Disorganization and poor traffic flow seemed to be the main issues when dropping off. They «valet» the vehicles extremely close together, this made my stomach churn wondering if I would be returning to fresh dents (alas there were none upon returning fortunately).
The only positive I can relate is the drivers we had, on both arrival and return trips, were very helpful and hard working. They delivered us and our luggage to the port in a professional manner.
The vehicle pickup process was slightly better than the drop-​off. Our vehicle was parked along with others returning at the same time from port, so we just had to load up and drive off.
Next time I’m parking at the port and paying the higher day rate, this place is cheaper but you will face more headache. If you want to save money go for it, you will likely return to your car as you left it. If you want to get your cruise started with less stress park directly at the port.

Steer clear of this well-​marketed near-​port parking facility. I used them for an 8-​day cruise in September and here are the lowlights of my experience that would keep me from using them again when I cruise from Port Canaveral, FL:
— Disorganized staff.
One might excuse them once for being off their game on the day of vehicle drop-​off. But, they were even worse on the day of our return. Are they hiring too many temporary workers who don’t know the systems or procedures? Or, do they just lack management/​training discipline to effect efficient work flow from check-​in to vehicle pick up? The scenes both days would have made an entertaining YouTube video if it weren’t that we were the victims subjected to the chaos at the time.
— Long waits on return day at the port.
Again, one might try to excuse the long wait by saying that’s how it is when 3,000+ passengers return and all want to get back to their cars on the same day. Except that other offsite parking facility shuttles came and went multiple times during the nearly two hour wait we endured. Perhaps it’s all part of their inefficient systems at the facility that tie up the shuttles for too long? They eventually pressed another company’s shuttle into service to take their disgruntled customers back to their own facility. We were a bunch of unhappy campers.
— The facility is not paved.
Gravel and dirt from what I saw. I would have passed it by had I been driving by without a reservation already booked online from their deceptive web site.
— Vehicles crammed too closely.
Owing to the fact that there are not painted parking spaces on nice clean pavement (because it’s gravel and dirt, remember), the vehicles are packed like sardines. Although my vehicle was not dinged, the odds of it happening logically increase when the people running the place give such little regard and are trying to squeeze more fee-​paying rides into the small lot.
— They stained my license plate.
Yes. You read that correctly. The parking stub/​claim check was precariously placed in between my vehicle tag and the metal frame. Over the course of 8 days baking in the Florida sun, the dye from the hot pink paper transferred to the white background of my tag. The attendant bent over, reach for the stub, removed it and the pink «shadow» remained. I pointed this out to no avail.
I will do my Unilocal!research next time (as I hope you’re doing now as you read this) and find a place that better suits my expectations.
Happy cruising!

This place is much cheaper than Port Canaveral parking — you get what you pay for.
We booked online — website worked well, no issues.
The onsite operation is extremely unorganized. This results in longer-​than-​required wait times as staff wander aimlessly, trying to figure out what to do next.
We traveled with 3 cars. for the first two vehicles — no one told us what to do upon entering, so we self-​parked. Then, we tried to track down a staff member to ask if this was ok. He seemed bewildered at first, finally saying this was ok. We were then lead to a bus. A bus which sat full of people for at least 10 minutes, while the driver wandered the facility. The third car was directed into the valet area — where the staff valet-​parked the car.
Upon returning from our cruise, the valeted car had a dead battery. It’s difficult to tell if we left a cabin light on, or Park n Cruise staff did something. The staff did assist in jump-​starting the car. However, the entire time making comments about how they «Couldn’t do anymore, I’m just trying to clear space for other cars to get in.»
There is virtually, zero space to maneuver within the facility. Cars are parked everywhere, with no attempt at creating an organized traffic flow. Loading and unloading luggage is, quite simply, a mess.
Overall — I’ve experienced better, way better. This is nothing like similar facilities at Port Everglades, which are friendly and organized. Not so sure I would go so far as to recommend it. While nothing bad happened, it wasn’t good by any stretch.
Park at your own risk.

We’ve used this before and thought we should use it again to save some money. Even though we prepaid the entire time in advance, we waited more than 20 minutes just to drive into the facility with no explanation as we sat and sat in our car waiting. Then we still had to check in once inside. Why did I prepay?
And after all that we still had to wait longer in line for a bus — the whole process is taking 45 minutes plus

A couple of my co-​workers told me about this place. I tried it out on our last cruise. Easy and straightforward online booking. It was fairly busy once we arrived, but I didn’t have to wait in the check-​in line for long.
We were then put in a line by ourselves for the Disney ship. We had just missed the bus. We waited maybe 10 or 15 minutes with no one else joining us and still no pick up. Finally, a driver picking up for Carnival told us to come with them. This part wasn’t so great. They were busy and were using vans. We had to squeeze in the back and no one seemed to want to let us through. The good thing was that the driver took us to our ship first.
Pick up after the cruise was easy, too. We were able to jump right on a bus without waiting. I’d use them again for our next cruise.

Solid booking engine online and proximity to the ports makes this the off-​site place to beat.
I have used them now a few times and every time they’re super-​friendly, have lots of buses, and don’t make you wait. Pretty much as soon as you get there, you’re put on a bus and off to either the cruise or back to the lot.
The parking lot is gravel so there’s not TOO much dirt on your car when you get back, but I always hold off on cleaning it if I know I’m going to be going on a cruise… besides. why clean a car when I’ll be on a cruise and won’t be able to enjoy it?
To sum up… quick in… quick out… cheap…and safe. I recommend this to everyone going out of port canaveral.

Been waiting in line for 40 minutes. So far this place is neither quick nor easy.
I guess on a normal day this would be a good place to park but we apparently hit it on a bad day. They had a reservation for 20 or so but 40 or so showed up and traffic was backed up FORever. One of the people who worked their said that they had to turn away some reservations. I don’t think that is ok, and had they tried to turn us away after waiting for an hour to get in I’m pretty sure I would have flipped out on them. I wasn’t a huge fan of their parking, as people were parked hodgepodge and it made me very nervous of a potential door ding and I told the guy that I wouldn’t park in the spot he initially directed me to so he gave me another spot.
All in all, other than the wait we didn’t have a bad experience but I wouldn’t want to get caught in a mess like that again.
