Most cruise lines assign an arrival window during online check-in, and arriving inside that window is the best way to avoid the longest terminal lines. General boarding usually runs from late morning into the early afternoon, but the exact timing varies by ship, port, and sail date. Follow the check-in instructions your cruise line sends you — they always take priority over general guidance.

Where does Celebrity Eclipse depart from at Port Everglades?

The current schedule lists Terminal 25 (Celebrity Cruises). Confirm your terminal with the cruise line before traveling.

Drop-off: Terminal 25 is Celebrity's premium terminal, redesigned and rebranded with an expansion including a larger luggage area and interactive LED signage. Follow green Palm signs from any port entrance. Drop off luggage curbside with porters.

When should I board Celebrity Eclipse?

Celebrity online check-in typically opens about 45 days before sailing in the Celebrity app, and you pick an arrival time as part of completing it. Earlier arrival times typically go first, so check in as soon as it opens if you want to board early.

Windows and opening dates vary by ship, homeport, and loyalty tier, so always follow your cruise line's instructions for your specific sailing.

Official Terminal

Terminal 25 parking & drop-off at Port Everglades

Getting to the Port

From Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL)

FLL sits about 2 miles from Port Everglades — the closest major airport to any cruise port in the US. It's the only port in the nation located adjacent to an airport. The drive itself is 15-20 min, though traffic lights on the access roads make it feel longer than the distance suggests.

Uber/Lyft: $15-22 depending on terminal. Taxi: ~$18-21 flat rate. Shared shuttle: $11-19 per person.

From Miami International Airport (MIA)

MIA is about 30-35 miles from Port Everglades. Cheaper flights sometimes make this worth considering, but factor in the longer transfer.

Uber/Lyft: $40-60 depending on traffic. Taxi: ~$75-85.

Driving & Parking at the Port

Port Everglades has two main parking garages: Heron (Northport, terminals 2 & 4) and Palm (Midport/Southport, terminals 19-29). Follow the color-coded signs from any port entrance.

Port parking: $20/day cars, $25/day oversized vehicles. No reservations or pre-payment accepted.

Hotel Shuttle Services

Many hotels near the port offer cruise shuttle packages. Quality and timing vary — some are one-way only with fixed departure times.

Usually included in park & cruise packages ($100-200 total for night + parking + shuttle)

Local Tip

Celebrity Eclipse sails from Terminal 25, Celebrity's premium redesigned facility with expanded luggage areas and interactive LED signage.
