When Can You Board Star of the Seas?

Royal Caribbean gives you an arrival time slot picked in the Royal App and printed on your mobile boarding pass. Arrive at your assigned boarding time — not earlier. You must be checked in and aboard no later than 90 minutes before port operations close.

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

Star of the Seas cruise parking at Cruise Terminal 1

Where you park

Park in the CT-1 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. Take the covered walkway directly to the terminal — it's a short walk.

Drop-off

Cruise Terminal 1 is on Discovery Rd on the south side of the port — the group Port Canaveral signs as the B Terminals. From SR-528 take Exit 54B, not 54A, and follow the signs for Terminal 1. The port asks drivers to come straight to the terminal: drop-off is in front of the terminal or in the parking facility, and porters are right there with carts. Tip $2-3 per bag.

Local Tip

Star of the Seas boards at CT-1, which has a parking garage at $20/day plus tax with a covered walkway to the terminal. Park on levels 3-4 for shade and a faster exit when your cruise ends. Check in online through the Royal Caribbean app as early as possible to get the earliest boarding group — the check-in desk, not the screening line, is where digital preparation saves you the most time.
