Port Booking Questions
Our specialists have real-time access to all cruise line schedules from this port. Call (844) 578-1858 and we'll tell you exactly which ships are departing, on what dates, and at what prices — updated daily.
Most major US cruise ports have official parking facilities at $15–$25/day. We recommend booking parking in advance as lots fill up on busy departure days. Off-site parking with shuttle is usually cheaper — our agents can advise on the best option for your departure date.
Arrive 2–3 hours before your ship's departure time. Check-in closes 90 minutes before sailing — missing this window means missing your cruise. We recommend arriving early, completing check-in, and enjoying embarkation day activities before crowds build up.
