Good To Know

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.

Special Cases

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.

FAQ

Port Canaveral Cruise Parking Questions

Answers to what we’re asked most before a call.

Are you affiliated with Port Canaveral or with a cruise line?
No. Phone Reservations is an independent travel reservation agency. We are not affiliated with the Canaveral Port Authority or with any cruise line, and we don’t operate any of the parking lots ourselves — we help you compare independently operated shuttle lots and complete your reservation by phone.
Can you reserve official Port Canaveral parking for me?
No. The Canaveral Port Authority’s own garages and lots do not accept advance reservations from any agency — you pay when you arrive, in line at the terminal. What we can reserve ahead of time are the independent, off-site shuttle lots listed on this page.
How do I find out which terminal my ship uses?
Use the ship lookup tool above for a starting point. Because terminal assignments can shift by sailing, we always recommend confirming the final terminal on your cruise line’s boarding documents, and we’ll double-check with you when you call.
Do the parking lots offer shuttle service to the terminal?
Yes, every independent lot on this page includes shuttle service to and from your cruise terminal. Shuttle frequency, first and last departure times, and whether extra passengers or bags carry a fee all vary by lot — tell us your boarding time and group size and we’ll confirm the details for the lot we book.
Is there a discount for military, veterans, teachers or first responders?
Some lots offer a reduced rate for active military, veterans, first responders, teachers or their families — Park N Cruise runs this as its “Lots of Honor” program, and Port Canaveral Parking offers a similar “Liberty Lot” rate. Mention your status when you call and we’ll check current eligibility and availability.
What about oversized vehicles, vans or RVs?
Several lots accept oversized vehicles, sometimes in a separate section or at a different rate, and the official port lots accommodate RVs and buses as well. Let us know your vehicle’s length when you call so we point you to a lot that can fit it.
How many days of parking will I be charged for?
Every lot, including the official port lots, charges for both your day of arrival and your day of return. For example, a 7-night cruise is 8 days of parking, not 7. We’ll walk through the exact count for your specific dates on the phone.
What if my ship isn’t in your lookup tool, or I’m not sure which line I’m sailing?
Just call us. We’ll look up your ship and current terminal assignment directly and walk you through which parking options are available for your sailing.
