TOP HACKS FOR SAVING $$$ ON CRUISE PORT PARKING | CRUISE TIP OF THE DAY

Editorial Summary

Sharon from Sharon C provides advice for travelers who choose to drive to their cruise port instead of flying. She explains that parking directly at the cruise terminal can be expensive and suggests looking for alternative options to reduce costs. One primary recommendation is to use off-site parking facilities located near the port. Most US cruise ports have external parking areas that are within a mile of the terminal and can save travelers between two and ten dollars per day. These facilities may offer different price points based on whether the parking is covered or uncovered. Another strategy involves booking a hotel that offers a park and cruise package. While these hotels may charge a fee for parking, the total cost of the stay and parking can be more economical than port parking alone. Sharon notes that most off-site locations provide a free shuttle to the port, though travelers should research whether a return shuttle is also available. To assist viewers, she provides a link to a list of US ports, parking locations, and hotels that offer these services. She concludes by encouraging viewers to research specific rates and to subscribe for more cruise tips and live shows.
