When Can You Board Norwegian Escape?

Norwegian puts an embarkation time on your eDocs and asks that you arrive no earlier than one hour before it. It highly encourages boarding no later than two hours before the departure time in the same eDocs.

The arrival time on your own boarding pass is the one that governs your sailing.

Norwegian Escape cruise parking at Cruise Terminal 6

Where you park

Park in the CT-6 garage ($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. It's directly adjacent to the terminal with a short covered walkway.

Drop-off

CT-6 is on Charles Rowland Dr on the north side of the port — the group Port Canaveral signs as the A Terminals. From SR-528 take Exit 54A, not 54B, and follow the port road signs to Terminal 6; the drop-off lane is clearly marked with a covered canopy. Porters will tag and take your checked bags curbside. The Cove's bars and restaurants are on the far side of the harbour from here, so plan on driving rather than walking to them.
