Driving, want to avoid port (PC) parking charges

[tigerchic89]

What are other options? I've stayed the night before at Country Inn/Suites, but I would rather not stay there again. I've heard that the Radison no longer does a stay/shuttle service.

Isn't the parking charge only $15-$20 per day? Sounds like a bargain compared to Seattle where they charge $30+ per day to park while on the cruise.

There are other long term parking lots in the area that are cheaper and not associated with a hotel. Sorry to say I don't know what they are, I googled it and decided that although I would save some money was not worth the hassle of getting on shuttles and waiting for pick up.

After my experience last time I'm strictly parking at port from now on. I don't care how much it costs.

Leave your car in the Albertson's parking lot and catch a cab. Vehicle presence upon return not guaranteed, though.

We always park at the terminal and feel it's well worth it for the convenience. Your car is undercover in the garage and security is present. Just walk across the street to and from the ship!

I agree - we park at the terminal. When we have a 15 hour drive ahead of us it is nice to be able to just get in the car and go.

I've been looking for a hotel to stay at and I have found a couple that offer a 40% voucher for parking at the port if you stay there. They were both in Cocoa Beach and they were chain hotels. I can't remember which ones, but like the Best Western and Holiday Inn type places.

We decided to come in a day earlier and stay at the Radisson. They still have the park and stay package. I did it for peace of mind. I heard to many stories about being stuck on the highway and watching the ship set sail.

I'll be staying at the Hampton Inn Cocoa Beach which gives the 40% off voucher for Port parking. There are a few other hotels who give the 40% voucher and they are listed on the website for the Port: www.portcanaveral.com. Click on Cruise, then click on Directions & Parking. Scroll down to the section "Discount Port Parking for Partner Hotel Guests" and there is a link "list of hotels with addresses and phone numbers". It will open up a PDF document showing all the hotels that partipate in the 40% voucher.

Just a word of warning, we stayed at this hotel last fall. It was really not what we would expect for a Hampton. Aside from the construction, it truly was not up to standard. The rooms were musty and generally felt funky. I wouldn't stay there again.

We always stay at the Residence Inn on Astronaut Blvd. They have a park and shuttle deal for $20 for two people to ride, with it being $6 for each additional person.

Comfort Inn CocoaBeach also has a parking package.

As far as I know it's just to the port. You can always call and check with them.

Agreed. I parked offsite once. Never ever again.
