Why Port Canaveral Parking Works Differently
Port Canaveral has grown into one of the world’s busiest cruise ports, with seven active cruise terminals split across two sides of the port. Where you park depends on which terminal your ship is using.
North Terminals — Exit 54A
Cruise Terminals 5, 6, 8 and 10 are reached from Exit 54A off the SR-528 Beachline Expressway. Terminal 8 and 10 are Disney’s home terminals; 5 and 6 serve Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Carnival sailings. Terminal 5 and the new Terminal 6 East garage are both currently under expansion.
South Terminals — Exit 54B
Cruise Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are reached from Exit 54B. Terminal 1 was built for Royal Caribbean’s Oasis-class ships, the largest cruise ships in the world; Terminal 3 (the “Launch Pad”) is Carnival and Princess’s newer terminal and is currently the only terminal accepting SunPass/E-Pass.
Because terminal assignments can change by sailing, we never guess your terminal for you — use the ship lookup below, then confirm with your cruise line’s boarding documents.

Situations Worth Mentioning When You Call
A few things about Port Canaveral parking are easy to get wrong. Mention any of these when you call so we can match you with the right lot the first time.
Sailing with Disney Cruise Line
Of the independent lots we work with, Park Port Canaveral is the one that confirms service for Disney sailings. If another lot is offered to you for a Disney cruise, we’ll verify by phone before booking it — Disney terminal logistics (Terminal 8 and Terminal 10) are handled a little differently than the other lines.
Sailing on Carnival Mardi Gras, Star of the Seas or Carnival Festivale
A discounted shuttle-and-park package (Go Port) is available, but only for these specific ships — it is not sold for any other sailing, since the lot cannot serve vehicles for ships it isn’t staffed for. If your ship isn’t one of these three, we’ll route you to one of the standard options above instead.
Oversized vehicles, vans and RVs
Large vehicles (typically over 20 feet or 80 inches wide including mirrors) are accepted at several lots, sometimes at a different rate or in a separate section, and the official port lots accommodate RVs and buses in oversized spaces. Tell us your vehicle’s length when you call so we can confirm which lot fits it.
Wheelchair-accessible shuttle
Park Port Canaveral can schedule a shuttle with a wheelchair lift, but it needs to be requested in advance so the right vehicle is on that departure. Let us know when you call and we’ll make sure it’s arranged.
Groups of 5 or 6 travelers
Shuttle passenger limits and any extra-passenger fee vary by lot. If you’re traveling as a group of 5 or 6, tell us so we can pick a lot that fits your group comfortably and let you know about any additional charge before you book.
Traveling on a Tuesday or Wednesday
A few of the smaller independent lots run reduced or variable hours midweek. If your cruise starts or ends on a Tuesday or Wednesday, we’ll confirm that your chosen lot is operating before we book it.
Parking at the port itself
The Canaveral Port Authority’s own garages and lots are not reservable in advance by Phone Reservations or by any other agency — you pay on arrival, in line at the terminal. We can tell you what to expect there, but the options we can actually reserve ahead of time are the independent shuttle lots listed above.
How parking days are counted
At every lot, including the official port lots, you’re charged for both your day of arrival and your day of return — a 7-night cruise is 8 days of parking, not 7. We’ll walk through the exact day count for your dates when you call.
