01 · TERMINAL
Cruise Terminal 5
9245 Charles Rowland Dr., Cape Canaveral, FL 32920
Drop-off: Cruise Terminal 5 is on Charles Rowland Dr on the north side of the port — the group Port Canaveral signs as the A Terminals, and they are reached from a different SR-528 exit than Terminals 1, 2 and 3. Take Exit 54A, not 54B; crossing to the other side once you are inside the port is a long detour around the basin. The drop-off lane runs along the front of the building, and porters are stationed curbside to take your checked luggage. Tip $2-3 per bag.
PARKING
Park in the CT-5 lot ($20/day plus tax, covering the day of arrival and the day of departure). Parking is cashless — major credit cards only — and paid on arrival; no reservations are accepted. The walk to the terminal entrance is short.
