Introduction

Embarking on a cruise from the beautiful city of Long Beach, California is an exciting and memorable experience. But before you can set sail, one important aspect to consider is where to park your vehicle. With a variety of options available, finding the right parking spot can sometimes be a daunting task.

The Port of Long Beach, located in southern California, is the second busiest container port in the United States and serves as the gateway to popular cruise destinations such as Mexico and the Hawaiian Islands. The convenience and accessibility of the port make it a favored departure point for many cruise enthusiasts.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the different parking options available in Long Beach for cruisers. Whether you’re looking for public parking or prefer the convenience of parking near the cruise terminal, we’ve got you covered. Additionally, we’ll provide helpful tips to make your parking experience hassle-free, ensuring a smooth start to your cruise vacation.

Before we dive into the parking options, it’s important to note that Long Beach offers numerous parking facilities that cater to both daily visitors and long-term parkers. From public parking lots to dedicated cruise terminal parking, there are choices to suit every budget and preference.

So, let’s embark on this parking adventure and discover the best places to park in Long Beach for a cruise!

Port of Long Beach

The Port of Long Beach is not only a major commercial port but also serves as a popular departure point for cruise ships. It is located in the heart of Southern California, offering convenient access to the Pacific Ocean and various cruise destinations.

With its state-of-the-art facilities, the Port of Long Beach provides a seamless and efficient experience for cruisers. The terminals are equipped with modern amenities, including check-in counters, security screening, and baggage handling services.

While the primary focus of the port is cargo operations, it has dedicated areas for cruise ships. The Long Beach Cruise Terminal, located near downtown Long Beach, is where most cruise ships dock. The terminal is easily recognizable for its iconic geodesic dome, which houses the Queen Mary, a legendary ocean liner turned hotel and museum.

Many popular cruise lines, including Carnival Cruise Line and Princess Cruises, operate out of the Port of Long Beach. Whether you’re embarking on a short getaway to Mexico or a longer voyage to Hawaii, the port offers a wide range of itineraries to choose from.

Aside from its excellent cruise facilities, the Port of Long Beach boasts stunning views of the coastline and the city skyline. It’s a great place to soak up the sun, take a stroll along the waterfront, or indulge in some delicious local cuisine before or after your cruise.

When planning your cruise from Long Beach, be sure to consider the unique attractions and activities the city has to offer. From exploring the Aquarium of the Pacific to enjoying the vibrant nightlife of downtown Long Beach, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

As you embark on your cruise adventure from the Port of Long Beach, it’s important to consider your parking options. Let’s explore the different parking facilities available to make your journey as seamless as possible.

Public Parking Options

If you’re looking for affordable and accessible parking options in Long Beach for your cruise, public parking lots are a great choice. These parking facilities are conveniently located near the cruise terminal and offer a range of amenities for cruisers.

One of the popular public parking options for cruise passengers is the Public Parking Lot at the Long Beach Convention Center. This secure parking facility is just a short distance from the cruise terminal and offers both daily and long-term parking options. The lot is well-maintained and provides 24-hour security for your peace of mind.

Another public parking option is the Pike Parking Garage, located adjacent to the Pike Outlets. This multi-level parking structure provides ample parking spaces and is within walking distance of the cruise terminal. It also offers convenient access to shopping and dining options, allowing you to indulge in some retail therapy or enjoy a delicious meal before or after your cruise.

If you prefer a more budget-friendly option, the City Place Parking Lot is worth considering. Located near the downtown area, this parking facility offers affordable rates and a complimentary shuttle service to the cruise terminal. It’s a convenient choice for those looking to save some money without compromising on convenience.

It’s important to note that public parking facilities may have limited availability during peak cruise seasons, so it’s advisable to arrive early to secure a spot. Additionally, be sure to check the parking rates and any parking restrictions in advance to avoid any surprises.

When parking your vehicle in a public lot, it’s always a good idea to secure your belongings and ensure your vehicle is locked. While these lots are generally safe and well-monitored, taking precautions will give you added peace of mind during your cruise.

Overall, public parking options in Long Beach provide a convenient and cost-effective solution for cruise passengers. With their proximity to the cruise terminal and competitive rates, you can enjoy a stress-free parking experience as you embark on your cruise adventure.

Long Beach Cruise Terminal Parking

If convenience is your top priority when it comes to parking for your cruise, then the dedicated parking options at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal are your best bet. These parking facilities are located right next to the cruise terminal, ensuring a quick and seamless transition from your vehicle to the ship.

The Long Beach Cruise Terminal offers two main parking areas. The first is the “Queen Mary Lot,” located adjacent to the Queen Mary ship. This parking lot provides easy access to the cruise terminal and offers both covered and uncovered parking options. The rates are competitive, and the lot is well-maintained and secure. Plus, parking in the Queen Mary Lot gives you the opportunity to explore the historic Queen Mary ship before or after your cruise.

The second parking area is the “Cruise Terminal Parking Structure.” This covered parking facility is directly connected to the cruise terminal via a pedestrian bridge, making it extremely convenient for passengers. The structure offers ample parking spaces and provides 24-hour security for added peace of mind. The rates for parking in the Cruise Terminal Parking Structure are usually slightly higher than the Queen Mary Lot, but the convenience and accessibility make it worth considering.

It’s important to note that parking at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal can fill up quickly during peak cruise seasons. To secure your spot, it’s recommended to book your parking in advance through the cruise line or the Port of Long Beach’s official website.

Additionally, some cruise lines offer parking packages that include the cost of parking with your cruise fare. This can be a convenient option as it eliminates the need for separate payment and ensures a guaranteed spot in the designated cruise terminal parking areas.

No matter which parking area you choose at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, you can expect a hassle-free parking experience with easy access to the terminal and the convenience of being just steps away from your ship.

Off-Site Parking Options

If you’re looking for alternative parking options outside of the official cruise terminal parking areas in Long Beach, there are off-site parking facilities available that offer convenience and competitive rates.

One popular off-site parking option is the Park ‘N Cruise facility. Located just a short distance from the cruise terminal, Park ‘N Cruise provides secure parking with 24-hour surveillance. They offer both uncovered and covered parking options, and complimentary shuttle service to and from the cruise terminal. This allows you to park your vehicle in a safe and affordable location while having the convenience of a shuttle to transport you and your luggage to the terminal.

Another off-site parking facility to consider is the EZ Cruise Parking lot. Situated near the cruise terminal, EZ Cruise Parking offers both covered and uncovered parking spaces. They provide a complimentary shuttle service for convenient transportation to and from the cruise terminal. With competitive rates and a well-maintained facility, EZ Cruise Parking is a popular choice for many cruisers.

It’s worth noting that off-site parking facilities may require advance online reservations to secure your spot, especially during peak cruise seasons. By booking in advance, you can guarantee a parking space and potentially take advantage of discounted rates or promotional offers.

Many off-site parking facilities also offer additional services such as luggage assistance, car washes, and even vehicle maintenance options. These extra amenities can enhance your overall parking experience and add convenience to your journey.

When choosing an off-site parking facility, be sure to consider factors such as security, shuttle service frequency, and proximity to the cruise terminal. Additionally, check the operating hours of the facility to ensure they align with your cruise departure and arrival times.

Off-site parking options in Long Beach provide a viable alternative for cruisers who prefer to park their vehicles in a secure location outside of the official cruise terminal parking areas. With competitive rates and convenient shuttle services, these facilities offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for parking during your cruise vacation.

Shuttle Services to the Cruise Terminal

For added convenience and ease of transportation to the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, there are shuttle services available that can take you from various locations to the terminal.

One of the most popular shuttle services is the Long Beach Transit Passport. This free shuttle service operates in the downtown area and provides easy access to the cruise terminal. The Passport shuttle conveniently stops at multiple locations, including hotels, restaurants, and popular tourist attractions. It’s a great option for those staying in the downtown area or wanting to explore the city before embarking on their cruise.

Many hotels near the Long Beach Cruise Terminal also offer complimentary shuttle services to transport their guests to and from the terminal. This service is often provided as an added amenity for hotel guests, making it a convenient choice for those who prefer to stay near the terminal and not worry about parking their vehicle.

If you choose to park your vehicle at an off-site parking facility, they typically offer complimentary shuttle services as well. These shuttles are specifically designed to transport guests from the parking facility to the cruise terminal and vice versa. The shuttle service usually runs on a regular schedule to ensure you arrive at the terminal in a timely manner.

It’s important to check the shuttle service availability and schedule in advance, especially if you’re relying on it for transportation to the cruise terminal. Some shuttles may require reservations or have limited capacity, so it’s wise to plan accordingly and allow enough time for travel.

Using a shuttle service eliminates the need to worry about parking or navigating the busy streets around the cruise terminal. It allows you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey to your embarkation point, knowing that transportation is taken care of.

Whether you’re taking advantage of the Long Beach Transit Passport, hotel shuttle services, or the complimentary shuttles provided by off-site parking facilities, utilizing a shuttle service to the Long Beach Cruise Terminal is a convenient and stress-free transportation option for cruisers.

Tips for Parking in Long Beach for a Cruise

Parking for your cruise in Long Beach can be a smooth and stress-free experience with the right preparation and knowledge. To help you make the most of your parking experience, here are some valuable tips to keep in mind:

  • Book in advance: If you decide to park in the official cruise terminal parking areas or off-site parking facilities, it’s advisable to make a reservation in advance. This guarantees you a parking spot and allows you to take advantage of any discounts or promotions.
  • Arrive early: To ensure you have ample time to park your vehicle and complete the necessary check-in procedures, it’s recommended to arrive at the parking facility or terminal with plenty of time to spare. This way, you can avoid any last-minute rush or stress.
  • Follow parking instructions: Whether you’re parking in a public lot, the cruise terminal parking areas, or an off-site facility, make sure to follow the parking instructions provided. Pay attention to any signage, designated parking areas, and any specific regulations that need to be followed.
  • Secure your belongings: When parking your vehicle, ensure that all valuable items are out of sight or locked away securely. It’s also a good idea to remove any GPS devices or mounts to reduce the risk of theft. Taking these precautions provides added peace of mind while you’re away on your cruise.
  • Keep important documents with you: As you exit your vehicle, make sure to have your cruise documents, identification, and any other essential items readily accessible. This will streamline the check-in process and minimize any delays or challenges.
  • Consider alternative transportation: If you live within proximity of the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, you may want to consider alternative transportation options such as rideshare services or public transportation. This can help avoid parking fees altogether and simplify the process of getting to and from the terminal.
  • Label your luggage: If you’re dropping off your luggage at the cruise terminal before parking, ensure that each bag is properly labeled with your contact information and cabin number. This will enable a smooth transition and ensure your bags are delivered to the correct location on the ship.
  • Keep track of parking details: Take note of the location and parking level where you parked your vehicle. It’s easy to forget these details after a long cruise, and it will save you time and frustration when it comes time to retrieve your vehicle.
  • Be mindful of parking restrictions: If you choose to park in a public parking lot or on-street parking, be aware of any parking restrictions such as time limits or street cleaning schedules. Violating these restrictions can result in fines or towing.
  • Plan for traffic delays: When driving to the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, keep in mind that there may be traffic congestion, especially during busy cruise seasons or peak travel times. Allow extra travel time to account for potential delays.

Following these tips will help you navigate the parking process in Long Beach with ease and ensure a stress-free start to your cruise vacation. With careful planning and attention to details, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is parked securely while you embark on a memorable cruise adventure.

Parking in Long Beach for a cruise doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With a variety of public parking options, dedicated cruise terminal parking, off-site parking facilities, and shuttle services, you can find the perfect parking solution to suit your needs and preferences.

Whether you choose to park in the convenient and secure Long Beach Cruise Terminal parking areas, opt for affordable public parking lots, or take advantage of off-site parking facilities with complimentary shuttle services, planning ahead and following the provided tips will ensure a smooth and stress-free parking experience.

Remember to book your parking in advance, arrive early to avoid any last-minute rush, and follow the parking instructions provided at the facility. Securing your belongings, keeping important documents with you, and considering alternative transportation options are additional steps to enhance your parking experience.

Choosing the right parking option can significantly impact the overall convenience and enjoyment of your cruise vacation. So take the time to research and plan accordingly, ensuring that you have a secure parking spot and a seamless transition from your vehicle to the cruise terminal.

With the proper preparations and knowledge, you can embark on your cruise from the beautiful Port of Long Beach with peace of mind, knowing that your vehicle is parked safely and you’re ready to embark on an unforgettable cruise adventure.

Los Angeles & Long Beach Cruise Parking (Where to Park)

With roughly 20 million residents in the Los Angeles area, it’s no surprise that many people end up driving to the cruise port and parking.

The good news is that in a city famous for its automobile lifestyle (and the traffic and congestion that comes with that) the cruise ports have made it easy and relatively inexpensive to park. 

Below, we’ve outlined your options for both LA area ports, including where to park for the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach cruise terminal.

Cruise Parking at the World Cruise Center (Port of Los Angeles)

When sailing for the Port of Los Angeles, your options are somewhat limited for parking. With a major working port on one side and residential neighborhoods on the other, there isn’t a lot of space for independent parking lots like at other ports around the country.

That said, the port offers parking right on site that’s extremely convenient. From here you can simply walk to the ship when departing and be back to your car within minutes when your cruise returns.

Port of Los Angeles cruise parking

Official Port of Los Angeles Parking The official parking for the Port of Los Angeles is operating by Parking Concepts, Inc. They offer parking with more than 2,500 spots right near the cruise berths.

There are plenty of spots and reservations are not required.  Rates are $20 per day for regular vehicles , $40 for oversized vehicles. So for a week-long cruise, expect to pay about $140 for parking.

That may seem expensive, but it’s relatively affordable for parking compared to other major cruise ports around the country. Cash, credit, and debit cards are accepted, and you pay after your trip.

  • Cost: $20 per day
  • Payment: Cash, credit, and debit accepted
  • Phone: 310-547-4357
  • Website: https://www.portoflosangeles.org

Los Angeles Hotels with Cruise Parking While there aren’t abundant options for independent parking lots, there is one place that will offer cheap parking for cruisers — hotels. Many hotels in the area cater to cruise passengers. They will offer discounted parking if you stay with them for at least one night.  We have a list of LA hotels with cruise parking here .

In general, if you plan to stay in the LA area for an extra night or two anyway, we highly recommend using this tip to save some cash on your parking.

A number of hotels in the area such as the ones below have parking packages. See the link above for a full list:

  • DoubleTree by Hilton San Pedro — Port of LA
  • Crowne Plaza LA Harbor Hotel
  • Vagabond Inn San Pedro

Cruise Parking at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal

Like the Port of Los Angeles, you won’t have many options for parking other than the official port parking at the terminal. Still, it’s hard to complain when parking is a mere steps away from the terminal, meaning you don’t have to deal with long walks or wait on shuttles to take you back and forth from your ship.

Port of Long Beach cruise parking

Official Port of Long Beach Parking A parking garage is offer right at the ship for you to park while you cruise. As you can see in the map, the parking garage is extremely close to the terminal.

Parking rates are $23 per day . So if you have a week-long cruise, expect to pay about $160.

Cash and credit cards are accepted. The lot doesn’t require reservations — there should be plenty of parking come cruise day as it is a multi-story garage. If you have an oversized vehicle, then know that the port says “oversized vehicles (those utilizing more than one parking space) cannot park in the cruise terminal garage and guests must make alternate/offsite parking arrangements.”

  • Cost: $23 per day
  • Payment: Cash, credit, and debit cards
  • Phone: 305-599-2600
  • Website: https://www.visitlongbeach.com/

Long Beach Hotels with Cruise Parking Again, if you plan to stay in the area and want to save on parking, be sure to check out  our list of hotels offering cruise parking packages .

We’ve found many offering that are within a short ride to the terminal that will also let you park your car at a rate much cheaper than parking at the cruise port. In Long Beach, the following hotels (and many more) offer parking deals for their guests:

  • Courtyard Long Beach Downtown
  • Hilton Long Beach
  • Residence Inn Long Beach Downtown

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to park at Los Angeles and Long Beach? The two ports that are about 10 minutes from each other charge different rates. If you are sailing from the World Cruise Center (Port of Los Angeles), then the price is $20 per day. If you are sailing from the Port of Long Beach, then you’ll pay $23 per day. 

Both ports will accept cash or credit card.

Do I need a reservation to park? No. Each port has ample space for parking. For example, the Port of Los Angeles has more than 2,500 individual parking spaces. Instead of making a reservation, you simply show up on cruise day and you’ll be directed to a spot.

Are there cheaper places to park than at the port? Due to the location of the ports, there aren’t many independent lots nearby. Your best bet is to simply park at the cruise port using their official port parking.

That said, if you are planning to stay the night in the area, there are a number of hotels that offer park and cruise packages. With a night’s stay you can get discounted parking while you cruise. See our list of  Los Angeles and Long Beach “park and cruise” hotels .

Long beach cruise terminal parking

Port of Long Beach

The Port of Long Beach  is the second busiest one in the United States, right after the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro. Popular Carnival Cruise Line ships, as well as some other cruisers of the Carnival Cruise lines, arrive and depart from Long Beach. It’s situated 12 miles away from the Long Beach Airport and 23 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

If you plan on driving to the port, you should inform yourself of all car parking options in the area. This way, you can find cheap cruise parking in advance and leave your car in a safe place while on the beach cruise vacation. Several parking providers, at or near the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, offer convenient long-term and short-term parking spaces for cruise passengers. Various parking options are available, including uncovered or covered parking, indoor parking, garage parking, etc.

Our guide on where to park and stay provides a simple and safe online reservation process, clear and upfront pricing, and relevant reviews. We have divided this article into three categories: Official Long Beach Harbor Cruise parking, off-site parking, and hotels near Long Beach Harbor with day cruise parking. 

Official Long Beach Harbor Cruise Parking

The Port of Long Beach offers a large parking garage located so close to the seaport that you will need only a couple of minutes to reach the cruise terminals. It is a five-story garage that provides nearly 1500 parking spots. To access this facility, look for the porters wearing red caps – they are at the terminal entrance and will help you with your luggage and direct you to the garage. There’s also an adjacent outdoor parking lot, which is also near the port.

The list below offers the public parking rates in the official Long Beach Cruise Terminal parking facilities:

The height limit in the cruise parking garage is is 7’0″—oversized vehicles must park in the adjacent parking area.

Accessible parking at the cruise port is available in all Long Beach Cruise parking areas. Vehicles using designated car parking spots have to own a disabled parking permit, license plate, or an ADA placard. Standard parking rates apply to handicapped parking.

Off-Site Long Beach Cruise Parking

Off-site parking structures usually offer the best parking value, and that’s why budget travelers often look for parking lots that are a bit farther away but cheaper. However, there is no secure parking lot within walking distance that offers more affordable parking rates.

You can find safe Long Beach Harbor cruise parking in nearby downtown Long Beach, but those parking garages and lots are a few miles away. Therefore, you should organize a taxi ride or use Long Beach transit to the cruise port. Although they do not provide free shuttle service to the cruise terminal, some of those parking facilities provide reasonably-priced long-term parking that can be worthwhile.

IMPORTANT: THE CITY OF LONG BEACH HAS A STRICT POLICY THAT STATES NO VEHICLE SHALL PARK FOR MORE THAN 72 HOURS IN ANY CITY-OWNED OR MANAGED PARKING LOT .

Hotels Near Long Beach Harbor With Cruise Parking & Shuttles

Hotel parking is available as well. Many Long Beach hotels provide Park & Sail packages for pre/post-cruise stays. This is one of the best parking alternatives for passengers who want to spend some time in the city before or after the trip. Get a good night’s rest in a nice Long Beach hotel, a discounted or free parking spot for the duration of your trip,  and shuttle transportation to the port complex. This way, you can start your cruise from the port refreshed and stress-free.

To save you some time, we have already found  hotels  with the best cruise parking packages:

  • Hotel Royal  – from $87
  • Residence Inn by Marriott Long Beach Downtown  – from $156
  • Hyatt Regency Long Beach  – from $209
  • Holiday Inn Long Beach Airport  – from $209
  • Hotel Maya DoubleTree by Hilton  – from $226

In Conclusion 

Since the Port of Long Beach has a large and secure parking structure, the most convenient parking option is to simply leave the vehicle in the on-site parking area. To minimize your Long Beach parking costs, use off-site parking facilities – they are an ideal choice with the lowest prices.

For passengers coming a day before the cruise, we have listed the best Long Beach Park and Cruise hotels – they allow you to arrive a day earlier, spend a night in the hotel, and use a shuttle bus service to the cruise ship terminal. This is a great service, and we highly recommend it. 

Parking Access provides a quick and very easy way to reserve your Long Beach Cruise Terminal parking space. Discover our search results and see what works for you. Don’t forget to check us out for your next trip or shore excursions. Happy cruising!

Breaking Down All Major Cruise Departure Ports In The U.S. And What Makes Each Unique

E xperience the explosive growth of the cruise industry firsthand as we explore the major departure ports in the United States. Don’t be left behind; join the millions of satisfied cruisers who have discovered the ultimate vacation experience. But we know that hopping on board can be intimidating, especially when choosing the right port, ship, and cruise line. That’s why I’m here to guide you through it all.

Starting in the North Atlantic and working our way down to the South Atlantic, including the bustling ports of Florida, we’ll cover everything you need to know. We’ll then move on to the Gulf of Mexico and, finally, the beautiful Pacific. Learn about several American ports, from suggestions on getting to the port to a detailed list of all the cruise lines that sail from each location.

But that’s not all — I’ll also highlight each port’s unique features and attractions so you can make the most of your vacation before and after embarking on your cruise. Get ready for a vacation that gives you the most bang for your buck — starting with the perfect departure port.

Buckle in and get your popcorn; this will be a long one.

North Atlantic

The North Atlantic region has quite a few ports. It primarily sails to Bermuda, New England, and Canada. However, they also do trans-Atlantic and other specialty cruises from a few ports.

Pro Tip : Always label and prepare your luggage for easy transport . When driving, simply drive to the cruise terminal and hand over your bags. No need to fret if you need tape or a stapler — the friendly baggage handlers will assist you. Remember to show appreciation by tipping them before parking or returning your car.

Boston Cruise Port – Raymond L. Flynn Black Falcon Terminal (Massachusetts)

Simplify your cruise parking experience at the Flynn Cruiseport in the Seaport District near Boston Harbor. Park easily at Congress Street parking or take a free shuttle from your hotel. Boston Logan International Airport is just a quick 10-minute drive away. The MBTA Silver Line bus stops within one block of the terminal for even more convenience.

Parking will cost you $27 per night.

Sailing From Here: Celebrity, Holland America , Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Seabourn

Points Of Interest: Boston Fish Pier, Fenway Park, Paul Revere House, Old North Church, Boston Children’s Museum, Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. 

Brooklyn Cruise Terminal (Red Hook Section, New York)

Discover the best cruise ports in New York. Brooklyn and Cape Liberty (in Bayonne, New Jersey) take center stage, with Manhattan playing a supporting role. As a premier cruise destination, New York offers voyages to Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, and beyond.

Parking at Brooklyn Cruise Port may seem challenging, but a constant flow of arrivals and departures keeps things moving. While the $45 daily fee offers stunning views of the Statue of Liberty, other convenient options are available, such as private taxis, Uber, shuttles, or the subway. For a unique experience, consider taking the train from Penn Station or Grand Central Station.

Sailing From Here: Cunard , MSC Cruises, Princess

Points Of Interest: Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Prospect Park

Fun Fact: Per CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association), most cruise passengers arrive in a port city a day in advance and spend nearly $400 per person on food, hotel, and transportation.

Cape Liberty Cruise Port (New Jersey)

Parking is slightly cheaper here than at Brooklyn’s cruise port and there are overflow lots during the busy season with free shuttles available. Cars run $30 per day and RVs $60. 

Sailing From Here: Celebrity , Royal Caribbean

Points Of Interest: Teardrop Memorial, Hudson River Waterfront, The Mills at Jersey Gardens (outlet mall)

Port Of Baltimore (Maryland)

I find the Baltimore cruise port one of the most accessible places to embark in the country. Parking is $15 daily (cashless) and you can walk to the terminal after parking. There is also RV parking for $30–$40 daily, depending on the size of your rig. Royal Caribbean and Carnival both offer shuttles to and from BWI airport. 

Sailing From Here: Carnival, Disney, Norwegian, Princess , Royal Caribbean 

Points Of Interest: National Aquarium, Inner Harbor, Maryland Zoo, Fort McHenry National Monument & Historic Shrine

South Atlantic/Florida

Welcome to the sunniest region in the world, where cruise passengers flock in droves! With state-of-the-art terminals and buzzing activity, this destination offers an incredible array of choices. However, be prepared to master the art of patience, as navigating through crowds can be challenging. As someone who has been on 54 cruises, I can attest that more than half of my voyages have departed from these ports.

Port Canaveral (Orlando, Florida)

Prepare to be amazed! Contrary to popular belief, getting to Port Orlando (also known as Port Canaveral) requires a 48-minute drive, as Orlando is not on the coast. Despite the distance and expense of transportation (an Uber is $98), Port Orlando remains the country’s busiest and most powerful cruise port. Your best option is to take the cruise shuttle from Orlando (airport or hotel) to save the hassle of getting there, traffic, and parking fees. If you decide to drive, however, keep in mind that parking costs $17 per day, including RVs.

Sailing From Here: Carnival, Disney , MSC Cruises, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean 

Points Of Interest: Kennedy Space Center , Exploration Tower, Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum (in Orlando), Disney, Universal, Lake Eola Park, Harry P. Leu Gardens

Port Of Miami (Florida)

Discover the colossal cruise port just minutes away from Fort Lauderdale. PortMiami is a bustling hub, welcoming an impressive average of 12 cruise ships daily and 4.1 million passengers annually. Boasting 11 cruise terminals, it is the second busiest cruise port in the country.

While you can park at the port for $22 a day, I highly recommend avoiding the chaos by opting for Uber or a hotel shuttle. With my 10 years of experience living in Florida, I found navigating the port’s parking confusing and lacking proper signage. Thankfully, there are much simpler alternatives to reaching your cruise ship.

But fear not! Despite the initial challenges, PortMiami (known as the Cruise Capital of the World ) is renowned for its efficiency and seamless operation. Like a finely tuned machine, they ensure a hassle-free experience from start to finish. Indulge in the modern marvel that is PortMiami and embark on your dream cruise effortlessly.

Pro Tip: It is important to park in the garage that coincides with your terminal letter (example: Cruise Terminal B — Multi-Level Garage B); though terminals F, G, and V all use Garage G.

Sailing From Here: Azamara Club, Carnival, Celebrity, Disney, MSC Cruises , Norwegian, Oceania, Regent Seven Seas , Royal Caribbean, Seabourn, Virgin Voyages

Points Of Interest: Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, Bayside Marketplace, Wynwood Walls, Little Havana, Jungle Island

Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale, Florida)

This one may throw you for a loop since Port Everglades is the cruise port you’ll want for departing out of Fort Lauderdale. It is only 3 miles from FLL/Hollywood Airport and 25 miles north of Miami International Airport. Uber or Lyft is your best bet and is relatively inexpensive. Secure parking at Port Everglades (4,000 spaces) runs $15 per day or $19 for oversized vehicles.

Sailing From Here: Carnival, Celebrity, Crystal Cruises , Cunard, Disney, Holland America, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Seabourn, Silversea, Viking Ocean

Points Of Interest: Las Olas Boulevard and Riverwalk, Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, Everglades Holiday Park

Port Tampa Bay (Florida)

Tampa is a treat to sail out of, as the cruise terminal and port are well-marked and laid out. It is secure and monitored 24/7. Parking is $16 per day, or you can use Uber or Lyft for getting dropped off or picked up. Tampa International Airport is 21 minutes from the Port Tampa Bay Cruise Terminal or 90 minutes from Orlando (MCO).

Sailing From Here: Carnival, Royal Caribbean

Points Of Interest: Busch Gardens, The Florida Aquarium, Historic Ybor City

Port Of San Juan (Puerto Rico)

Discover why San Juan, Puerto Rico, is the ultimate destination for incredible cruise lines. From its advantageous Atlantic Ocean location to potential cost savings, this place is a true gem. If you’re planning a trip, I recommend arriving early and staying overnight to avoid airline hiccups.

While some hotels provide free shuttle services, taxis are readily available for a quick 8-mile journey to the cruise port. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to set sail from Old San Juan, which is a vacation before the cruise vacation begins.

Sailing From Here: Celebrity, Crystal, Disney, Norwegian, Oceania, Regent Seven Seas, Royal Caribbean, Silversea, Viking Ocean, Virgin Voyages  

Points Of Interest: Castillo San Felipe del Morro , Old San Juan, Casa Blanca Museum, Fortaleza Street

Gulf Of Mexico

Discover hidden gems and unbeatable prices on Gulf of Mexico cruises! Escape the crowds and embark on an adventure from Galveston, New Orleans, and Mobile. Immerse yourself in vibrant cities and soak up the magic of the gulf. Don’t miss your chance to experience the best-kept secrets of these charming destinations! I plan to include these three embarkation ports in my cruising future over the next few months.

Mobile Alabama Cruise Terminal (Alabama)

While Carnival is the only cruise line that sails from Mobile, it is an excellent option for those seeking a quick vacation option between Texas and Florida. Parking will run you $18 daily, though the closest airport is Pensacola, Florida, an hour away. This is definitely a drive to the cruise port destination. Check out the Mobile Carnival Museum or the USS Alabama in your free time.

Port Of New Orleans (NOLA, Louisiana)

A boatload of ships departs the Port of NOLA, making it the 6th busiest cruise port in the country. It is in the heart of the city with a plethora of amazing things to see and do. It is also a port for the three major river cruises (my bucket list!), which adds a feature most cruise ports don’t offer. Parking runs $25 daily at the Erato and Julia Street terminals.

Sailing From Here: American Cruise Lines , American Queen Steamboat Co., Carnival, Disney, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Viking River Cruises

Points Of Interest: New Orleans City Park, Jackson Square, Mardi Gras World, French Quarter, St. Louis Cathedral, National WWII Museum

Port Of Galveston (Texas)

Discover Galveston — the vibrant heart of Texas and the state’s sole major port. With its convenient location, you’ll have easy access to all the city offers. Enjoy hassle-free parking for just $18 per day (discounts available for prepaying) and take advantage of the close proximity to the cruise terminal from the lots.

Port of Galveston’s only downside? The nearest major airport is 40 minutes away in Houston. However, worry not! Numerous shuttle services are available to whisk you directly to the cruise terminal.

Fun Fact: It is hard to believe that 2.2 million cruise passengers use this terminal annually.

Sailing From Here: Carnival, Disney, Royal Caribbean

Points Of Interest: Moody Gardens , Pleasure Pier, Seawall, The Strand

The cruise ports on the West Coast of the United States offer a wide range of fabulous cities, diverse weather, and opportunities for sailing around the area, trans-Pacific crossings, and specialty cruises.

Port Of San Diego (California)

Experience the beauty and convenience of the exceptional Port of San Diego . Getting to the port is a breeze, with various parking options and a convenient cruise ship shuttle from the airport. And that’s only some of it — many cruise lines even offer a complimentary pre-night hotel room.

I personally loved taking advantage of this option before setting sail from the Port of San Diego. Book your cruise now and let the cruise line shuttle take care of the rest. San Diego’s weather is exceptional year-round and the flights are relatively quicker and smoother than in other parts of California. I call this a stress-free cruise port.

Sailing From Here: Celebrity, Disney, Holland America, Norwegian , Princess

Points Of Interest: San Diego Zoo , Gaslamp Quarter, Balboa Park, USS Midway Museum. 

Port Of Los Angeles (California)

Discover the luxury and cruise lines variety at World Cruise Center at Port of Los Angeles (actually in San Pedro, California). Arriving at this massive port is a breeze, whether driving a car or using transportation options like shuttles, taxis, or Uber. Parking is $20 per day.

Avoid the high cost of taxis and enjoy a ride from LAX for just $40 with a rideshare service. From John Wayne Airport, expect to pay around $60, though nearly $100 for a taxi. Embark on your dream cruise effortlessly and at a great price from the World Cruise Center.

Port Of Long Beach (California)

Discover the convenient and stress-free Port of Long Beach , just a stone’s throw away from the Los Angeles cruise port. As a cruise port owned by Carnival Corporation , it offers an easier and more accessible experience than LA. Set against the backdrop of the majestic Queen Mary , this gem provides an alternative West Coast sailing experience away from the bustling cities. Located just 23 miles from LAX, you can park your car for only $23 per day. Plus, ample parking options exist for oversized vehicles adjacent to the covered garage.

Points Of Interest: Knott’s Berry Farm , Long Beach Museum of Art, Aquarium of the Pacific 

Port Of San Francisco (California)

For a city this big, I was surprised that the Port of San Francisco was not busier and bigger, but honestly, it is not one bit intimidating. Parking runs around $18 per day and there are many options for getting there, including bus, Uber, Lyft, and shuttles.

Sailing From Here: Crystal Cruises, Disney, Princess, Royal Caribbean

Points Of Interest: Alcatraz Island, Pier 39, Fisherman’s Wharf, Golden Gate Park

Port Of Seattle (Washington)

The cruise port of Seattle is your gateway to Alaska , so hopefully in your lifetime, you’ll explore this one for yourself.
