- Where you park
Park in Garage AA ($20/day short-term, $35/day for cruises). The garage has 7-foot clearance. You can reserve parking in advance through the MSC website or MSC for Me app. Take the covered walkway directly to check-in.
- Drop-off
Pull up to the covered drop-off area directly in front of the terminal. Porters with luggage carts are waiting curbside — tip $2-3 per bag. This is the world's largest cruise terminal, so signage is excellent. An additional berth of this same building appears on schedules as Terminal AAA — the same covered drop-off and the same check-in hall serve it, and ships from other lines berth there on busy days, so follow the ship-name signage rather than assuming MSC.

- Driving & Port Parking
$25-35/day for cruise-length garage parking, depending on terminal. Garage A is quoted by its own operator rather than the port.
