Creator's Key Takeaways

The bad thing about these parkings is that people are getting off while we're get while people are getting in for the next cruise because they could get here and leave the same day.

My suggestion would be to not get here on time. Get here way earlier. I would have gotten here an hour earlier than your schedule.

But, all in all, not a terrible experience. It just did take a little longer than we would have wanted.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive at the port at least an hour earlier than your scheduled boarding time.
Use a credit card for parking to earn points.
Keep your boarding pass individually in hand as they check it multiple times.
When looking for parking, if you find a spot, take it immediately to avoid having to drive down to lower levels.
