When Can You Board Rotterdam?
Holland America assigns your terminal check-in time about 14 days out in the Navigator app and asks you to arrive no earlier than 20 minutes before it. Boarding officially begins at 12:00 p.m., though this varies by port.
The arrival time on your own boarding pass is the one that governs your sailing.

Rotterdam cruise parking at Terminal 26
- Where you park
Park in Palm Garage — $20/day for cars, $25/day for oversized vehicles. The garage has 1,900+ spaces and serves Terminals 19, 21, 25, 26 and 29. Reasonable walk to Terminal 26. Note: Port Everglades' Palm Garage is a different building from FLL airport's own Palm Garage about two miles away — navigate to the port address or your terminal number, not just "Palm Garage."
- Drop-off
Terminal 26 is in the Midport area. Follow green Palm signs from any port entrance. Drop off luggage curbside with porters (tip $2-3 per bag), then drop off passengers at the terminal entrance before parking in Palm Garage. The distance from the drop-off curb to the terminal door is not published. If it matters for you, ask your cruise line before you travel.
