Cruises from Port Everglades.

The closest big cruise port to most of Broward and south Palm Beach. We’re a Parkland agency half an hour up the road, and we plan family and group sailings from Port Everglades for free: the ship, the cabins, the parking and the relatives flying in.

Who sails from here

The lines at Port Everglades

The port lists Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Disney Cruise Line, Cunard, Viking, Crystal, Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, plus a ferry to the Bahamas. Carnival and Norwegian are not on that list; both sail from PortMiami, about an hour south, so if one of those is the line you want, the port question is already answered.

For three generations we usually start with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess or Disney, because they have the most ships here and the widest mix of kids’ clubs, adults-only space and cabins that sleep four or five. Our multi-generational cruise guide compares them.

Parking, terminals and arrival day

  • Garages: $25 daily maximum, and the day you leave counts. Seven nights is eight days, about $200.

  • Vans and RVs: both garages have a seven-foot clearance. Oversized vehicles use the surface lots at $35 for up to 24 hours.

Group cruises

Several cabins, one sailing, one person to call

Cabins held together

We request the cabins as a group so families can end up near each other. Cruise lines treat that as a request, not a guarantee, so we ask early.

Each family pays its own way

Every household gets its own booking, so the organizer never fronts the deposit for everyone. We track who has paid and who is close to the final payment date.

Port Everglades cruise FAQ

How much does it cost to park at Port Everglades for a cruise?

Port Everglades charges a $25 daily maximum in its cruise garages and counts the day you leave, so a seven-night sailing is eight days, or about $200. Oversized vehicles up to 24 feet park in the surface lots at $35 for up to 24 hours. The port does not take parking reservations or prepayment.

Which parking garage should I use at Port Everglades?

It depends on your terminal. Heron Garage serves Terminals 2 and 4. Palm Garage serves Terminals 19, 21, 25, 26 and 29. Both garages have a seven-foot clearance, so a high-roof van has to use a surface lot.

Which cruise lines sail from Port Everglades?

The port lists Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Holland America, Disney Cruise Line, Cunard, Viking, Crystal and the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, plus a ferry to the Bahamas. Carnival and Norwegian are not on its list; both sail from PortMiami.

Should out-of-town relatives fly in the day before a Port Everglades cruise?

Almost always. Boarding closes well before the ship sails and no cruise line waits for a delayed flight, so a same-day arrival turns one missed connection into a missed sailing. FLL is about fifteen minutes from the cruise terminals.

Does a travel agent cost more for a group cruise from Port Everglades?

In most cases, no. Travel Connects is paid a commission by the cruise line, so planning is free to you. For a group, we hold the cabins together, track each household's deposit and final payment, and handle changes. Call 954-698-4438 or email info@travelconnectsagency.com.
