When can you board a cruise? Boarding times by line

Everything you need for boarding Viking Octantis (Viking Ocean Cruises) at Port Everglades. Terminal info, parking, restaurants, hotels, and pro tips.

Viking Octantis 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.
