In our schedule data, every ship with a 4-night itinerary from Port Canaveral also runs a 3-night one: Carnival Glory, Carnival Freedom, Disney Wish, Utopia of the Seas and Adventure of the Seas. The difference in parking is exactly one day: a 3-night sailing is $59.80 and a 4-night sailing is $74.75, so the longer trip adds $14.95. At the port garage the same extra day adds $20.00 plus tax.
4 of the 5 ships with 4-night itineraries in our schedule data head to the Bahamas. Carnival Glory runs a 4-night Western Caribbean itinerary from Terminal 3. Whichever route you sail, the parking is the same: 5 days, the same flat rate, and the same free shuttle to your terminal.
If your cruise dates change after you reserve, contact us with your confirmation code and we will update your reservation where availability allows, or cancel and rebook you at the current rate. Changing early is easiest: while your drop-off date is at least two days away, you can also cancel yourself for a full refund on the Manage reservation page and book the new dates.
Your ship docks on the morning of day 5, and that day is already part of your $74.75, so there is nothing extra to pay when you collect the car. Return shuttles start at 7:00 AM. Walk out of the terminal to the Portside pickup point (each terminal page linked in the table above describes exactly where it is), ride about 2 minutes back to the lot, and you are on the road home.
Other cruise lengths: 3 nights, $59.80 · 5 nights, $89.70 · 7 nights, $119.60.
Parking a 4-night cruise with Portside is $74.75 total: 5 days at $14.95 a day, since both your drop-off and return days count. The free shuttle to your terminal and a guaranteed reserved spot are included. The port's on-site garage would charge $100.00 plus tax for the same 5 days.
A 4-night cruise is 5 parking days, because the day you board and the day you return both count. A Monday to Friday sailing, for example, covers Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Portside charges the flat $14.95 rate on every one of those days with no extra travel-day fees.
