Drop-Off & Parking

How much is parking at Terminal 18 (Royal Caribbean)?

Terminal 18 has no garage of its own. Use the port's Parking Lot C, the 600-space surface lot adjacent to the terminal, or Lot B nearby — Lot B is the port's smallest and the most likely to be full on a busy morning. Note that the Palm Parking Garage serves Terminals 19 through 29, not 18, and that the airport has its own separate Palm Garage about two miles away, so navigate to the port's address rather than the garage name.

Where do you drop off passengers at Terminal 18 (Royal Caribbean)?

Terminal 18 is Royal Caribbean's main terminal at Port Everglades. Follow green Palm signs from any port entrance. Drop off luggage curbside with porters (tip $2-3 per bag), then drop off passengers before parking.
