That's a difficult one.
There aren't any 'satellite' lots near the port. Closest ones are at the airport, about 45 miles away, so that won't help you.

If you are staying overnight the night before your cruise, I believe that both the Radisson at the Port, and the Best Westsern on the ocean front allow you to leave your car there for the duration of the cruise, and also have a shuttle to the pier. The Radisson is closest, but both are less than 10 minuts from the pier.

There is also a Quality Inn several miles (4 or 5?) farther south on A1A that, I believe, also does this. It's probably a good 12-15 minutes away.

Ron Jon's Caribe Resort may be another place to check - Im not sure if they do the free cruise parking or not.

The regular port parking has gone up to $12 / night. (Payable in advance.)

They probably closed it and let it rest in peace, if you haven't heard of it.

I did find this but I don't know if it is current!!

Excellent steaks/ribs also good happy hour.
This once was the most favorite hang out for the astronauts when it was called The Mouse Trap and they still have many items from those days all over the place.

Thanks so much for all the infor.

I will look into how much it cost to stay at the hotel the night before,and if it is worth doing that sense i do live already in Florida.I am about 1hr and 10 mins away if that.
It will all depend on how much the hotel cost and if i am saving some cost on parking fee.
