Caribbean Princess cruise parking at Cruise Terminal 3

Where you park

Park in the multi-level garage adjacent to CT-3 ($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 garage is connected to the terminal by a covered walkway on the second level.

Drop-off

Cruise Terminal 3 is on Christopher Columbus Dr on the south side of the port, past Terminal 2 — the group Port Canaveral signs as the B Terminals. From SR-528 take Exit 54B, not 54A, and follow the signs for Terminal 3. Drop-off is in front of the terminal or in the parking facility, and porters will grab your bags curbside. Tip $2-3 per bag and keep your carry-on with you.

Local Tip

The parking garage ($20/day plus tax) is directly adjacent with a short covered walkway. Grills Seafood Deck at The Cove does a solid blackened mahi lunch, but it is across the harbour — eat there on the way in, not after you park.
