Creator's Key Takeaways

I parked there and it was $24 for the 4 days versus the parking garages which are $17 or up per day.

If you want to save some money, you can just park on one of these side lots here.

I find parking in these parking lots just as dangerous as parking in any of the parking garage.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Park in side lots to save money on cruise parking.
Use the side street for dropping off luggage or people at Terminal 3 or 6.
Check out Eore City or the Florida Aquarium before or after your cruise.
