First of all, welcome aboard CruiseLineFans. Hopefully, some other members on this cruise will be along shortly.

Also, I wanted to welcome another Mainer to the crew...we have to stick together. I am based in Portland, ME and my wife's family hails from the Bangor region.

Where in Maine are you? Excited to be getting out of the cold for a little cruise vacation?

Enjoy and Welcome!

We are from Saco Maine.

Woo Hoo! Then we're in the same boat.

I am really glad that you found CruiseLineFans. Please do have a good look around and if you want a specific question answered, feel free to ask it.

No reason to be shy, we're all pretty friendly around these parts.

Enjoy your cruise and stay warm!

Does anyone know if it cost anything to leave your car in the cruise port parking lot?

This is from the Port Everglades web site:
link --> Parking at Port Everglades - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Parking at Port Everglades


Convenient parking for cruise passengers is available in the Northport and Midport Parking Garages and the Midport Surface Lot between Terminals 18 and 19. All Port public garages are:

• Well-illuminated
• Security-patrolled
• Provide disabled parking with unimpeded access to crosswalks and elevators. Please see disabled parking section on this page for further details.

For parking questions or emergencies, please contact USA Parking at: 954-462-7287.

Parking Fees

• $3 for 0-1 hour
• $6 for up to 5 hours, and then $1 per hour thereafter up to daily maximum
• $15 daily maximum
• $19 daily maximum for oversized vehicles (those that exceed the standard width and/or height of a parking space). Vehicles in excess of 20 feet in length cannot be accommodated.

Northport Parking Garage

The 2500-space Northport garage (soon expanding to 4,250 spaces) services:

• Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center
• Northport cruise terminals including Cruise Terminals #1, 2 & 4.

Entrance: Turn south on Eisenhower Blvd. from 17th Street Causeway, or come east on State Road 84, entering the Port and turning left at Eisenhower Blvd.
From I-595, go east straight into the Port. Follow signs for Terminals #1, 2 & 4 and/or the Convention Center.
Midport Parking Garage

The 2000-space Midport garage services:

• Cruise Midport Terminals #18, 19, 21, 22/24, 25, 26, 27 and 29.

Entrance: Take I-595 east straight into the Port. Continue heading east to the garage on the left side of the street.
Midport Surface Lot
This new 400-space parking lot is located between Terminals 18 and 19. The entrance is on SE 19th Street. Garage rates apply.
Disabled Parking
In 1996 the Broward County Board of Commissioners, acting under authority of Florida Statute 316.1959, elected to charge disabled patrons of the Port Everglades parking facilities the same fees as are applied to all other patrons; and that pursuant to Section 3 of Statute 316.1964, "When a state, county, or municipal parking facility or lot is being used in connection with an event at a convention center, cruise-port terminal, sports stadium, coliseum, or auditorium, the parking facility may charge a person whose vehicle displays such a permit a parking fee in the same manner and amount as it charges other persons."
However, pursuant to Section 8 of the latter statute, any vehicle with specialized equipment such as ramps, lifts, or foot or hand controls, for use by the person who has a disability, or any vehicle that is displaying the Florida Turnpike Toll Exemption sticker, is exempt from any parking fees in Port Everglades.
Here is how to request free parking at Port Everglades:
At the entry of the Port Everglades parking garage, pull a parking ticket from the automated machine and get the attention of one of the parking agents in an adjacent exit booth. Advise that parking agent that you would like a disability waiver of parking. The parking agent will telephone for a parking supervisor who will come to the booth and examine your vehicle to determine if the driver/vehicle meets the criteria for a parking waiver. The parking supervisor will inspect the vehicle to determine if a Florida Turnpike Toll Exemption sticker is affixed to it and/or if the vehicle has specialized equipment and a hanging tag from the Division of Motor Vehicles verifying the equipment.
When the parking supervisor verifies that a disability waiver of parking is allowable, the driver's name and address and the registration number on the sticker or hanging tag will be recorded on the parking ticket by that parking supervisor and the parking supervisor will sign the ticket. At this point the driver will be given the parking ticket and directed to enter the garage.
Upon exit, the parking ticket with the recorded information and the parking supervisor’s signature will be surrendered to the exit parking attendant and no parking fees will be charged.
Visit Toll Permits for information about the Florida Disabled Toll Permit Program and to obtain Florida Turnpike Toll Exemption sticker.

Hey MollyDaisy, I have not parked at Port Everglades but have at other ports and alot of the hotels if you stay one night will let you park for free, which is a really good deal. Good Luck.
