Sweet. Who would have thought to post a review/explanation of parking, but that is exactly what I've been looking for. Your video answered all the questions I had about where to unload, park, how to get in the terminal. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the video, it's what I was looking for. We were debating using GoPort since it's half the cost of parking in the Terminal 3 parking garage, but not sure if it's worth the hassle of the shuttles. Looks like from your video, parking there would be easier.
Glad to be of some help. The off site parking is a great way to save some money. So it's rather a toss up between saving money or going the easy route. If you can spare the extra time, off site is a good alternative. Have a great cruise
Thanks for sharing. We have previously only sailed out of Terminal 6 when sailing from Port Canaveral and it was a bit confusing. We are booked on Mardi Gras in November and was hoping to see how parking worked for Terminal 3. Trying decide if it would be easier to park there or at our hotel if they allow, we are staying at the new Holiday Inn Express right across the street.
Thank you for watching and commenting. There are a few options for off site parking but we choose to pay a bit more and park at the port for the simplicity.
Thank you for posting this informational video. I will cruising Carnival soon and I read parking garage 3 has sunpass option to pay for parking. Did you notice if there is a special lane or ticket booth marker either sunpass or ezpass, like how they have it at the airport? Thank you
@debbie6125 Thanks for watching. I frankly don't remember how the surpass worked. There are three lanes and I think when you pull up to the gate, there is a button to select your payment method. But one good thing to know is if there is not enough of a balance, they will charge the difference to the card on file. Have a great cruise!
Thanks fir the question. No, when parking in the ports garages, they do not offer prepurchase tickets or reservations. Unless you park outside the port at one of the nearby private lots.
Does anyone know what time you can get in to park? Like when they first let people in? We will be in town early and would rather park and wait in the terminal than wait around in our car.
Not sure, per port authorities they recommend contacting the cruise lines for more info. My guess would be that there aren't any time restrictions. If anything, those with a 10am check-in would probably need 9am access to make their boarding time. However if there are any restrictions, you can wait just to the East of the garage is an area that you can park for free until it's time to park in the garage. It is a general parking lot for people to launch boats or fish from the pier there is even a picnic table and benches to sit at with a convenience store in walking distance. Enjoy your cruise
@@Kraemer003 hi, yeah sorry about that. I realized it was the wrong link after posting the comment which was revised. Thanks for the heads up. Again, there is always the option to wait in the lot to the right of the garage. Also posted in our comments is the link for the port authorities.
How long did it take to go through the parking process and into the Terminal? Wondering what time I have to leave to make it into the Terminal for our Arrival Appointment.
The process is pretty quick. Parking was a breeze. You just need to be sure to drop off your bags on the right as soon as you enter the garage, before you make your 1st Left. When you enter at your designated arrival time you will enter right away and the checkin takes 5 min. However, it may take quite some time before they will call your zone number. We did a video on how to get the easiest boarding time, first on board. Even with the earliest arrival time, it still took about 45 before they started the boarding process.
funny how all those non blue masks were worthless and nobody knew back then. Nice video. I'm looking to find out where the Handicapped parking is. Port Canaveral doesn't have a parking map of CT3 which is crazy
@VOOODOOO377 thank you for watching and commenting. I believe there was handicap parking on all floors but the 3rd floor has a ramp from garage to terminal which is very nice. The Elevators in the garage are also very large.
@@CruiseLifeTV Yes, I was there 3 weeks ago. More pre cruise anxiety than necessary lol. But apparently everyone freaks out driving to their first cruise. Thanks!!
@Josh55907 my comment was referring to the walk from the parking garage to terminal F...not a specific hotel. I would suggest looking up location of hotel to terminal to see if you feel it is walkable! Lyft or Uber is usually an option!

I'm love to see comments like yours, we are here to help. Thanks for watching and we appreciate you.
This was a smooth video. Thanks.
Thanks for the post.
I'll stay to the right in the garage.

Did you all purchase a parking ticket before arrival to the port?
Thanks fir the question. No, when parking in the ports garages, they do not offer prepurchase tickets or reservations. Unless you park outside the port at one of the nearby private lots.

That site is for a third party parking place. I'm asking about parking at the actual port, what time you can get in there. Thanks though.

Hi, please what is the address for the terminal 3 parking lot?
The address is: 220 Christopher Columbus Dr, Cape Canaveral, FL 32920 - enjoy your cruise.
@@CruiseLifeTV thanks so much for the info.
What time does Terminal 3 open for parking
