They drop you off directly in front of the cruise ship 😀 Porter’s are there waiting for your luggage and then you walk right up to the security/ticket line. Very convenient and not a lot of walking at all.
Never went out of norfolk trying to decide what hotel Marriott or Sheraton... also is Uber the only form of tranfer from airport to hotel and cruise port back to airport on day return
We’ve personally stayed at the Marriott for a weekend date and loved it. Very clean, recently renovated, and is VERY close to the port. The Sheraton is a couple blocks further away. We haven’t personally stayed at the Sheraton. I would recommend an Uber- the only other options are taxis (which charge a luggage fee per piece of luggage.) Surprisingly no one has started a cruise shuttle in Norfolk yet. If you have any other questions feel free to ask! 😄
Unfortunately none of them technically do- you can risk it and go for it but the only “official” cruise parking is the Cedar Grove parking lot. You can opt for a park and stay hotel like Lamp Light Hotel which is walking distance and you can leave your car there during the cruise. Hope this helps!
Norfolk isn't terrable but like most big cities, we have our fair share of crime. I would avoid the Ceder Grove parking lot at all cost. The city moved the bus station out of there due to how bad of a place Ceder Grove is. The garages in downtown Norfolk are pretty cheap, and most of them have some kind of security. Also, downtown is pretty compact and walkable, so it wouldn't be much of a struggle carrying luggage to the cruise terminal. Walking at a steady pace, you can cross downtown in about 15 minutes. The best option would be to leave your car at home, and have somone drop you off.
Thank you for sharing this video. We live in Lynchburg, VA & have never been to this cruise port. We will have to give it a try.
Thank you for watching! There is a lot of great history, food, and fun so close to the port!
Norfolk looks so beautiful
It really is a beautiful place for a day trip!!
Where does Uber or Lyft drop you off at when going on a cruise in Norfolk cause I have one coming up in April 2025

Nice video! Do you know which parking garages allow cruise parking? Not sure if certain garages allow overnight parking or not

Nauticus is all about shipping, not just Navy history.
Thanks

This is great advice!! We would trust the parking garages that allow it over Cedar Grove any day! We’re lucky we can Uber!
