When Can You Board Norwegian Prima?
Norwegian puts an embarkation time on your eDocs and asks that you arrive no earlier than one hour before it. You must be onboard no later than one hour before the departure time in the same eDocs, or you will not be permitted to sail.
The arrival time on your own boarding pass is the one that governs your sailing.

Norwegian Prima cruise parking at Cruise Terminal 5
- Where you park
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.
- 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.

Local Tip
Norwegian Prima usually boards at CT-5, where the open-air parking lot runs $20/day plus tax. For last-minute needs, skip the small terminal gift shop and hit the Walgreens on SR-528 about 5 minutes away or the Publix on Astronaut Blvd about 8 minutes out.
