Parking and Drop-Off
Self Parking
Each port will have a place for parking. Please note that parking prices are different at each port. Look for the port parking for your cruise to find out more.
Sometimes there is outsourced parking which is different than port parking. Please make sure that you are getting accurate information for parking through a company that is not associated with the cruise port. There have been reports of scams in different areas.
DROP-OFF
This is basically self explanatory and sometimes is the best way to arrive at your port. Port parking can get very expensive. It is anywhere from $18 to $25 a day for regular port parking. So keep in mind even if you get a service both to and from, it might be cheaper than parking at the port.
Each port will have different drop off areas. Please check with the port to see where to get dropped off.
On any cruise line
Preparing For a Cruise can be a difficult task. But if you get everything you need, you will have smooth sailing once you get onboard.

Booking with a reputable company can be just as reliable as booking directly with the cruise line. Many of these companies offer guarantees to get you back to the cruise ship on time. While booking through Carnival ensures the ship will wait for you in case of delays, it often comes at a higher price compared to other shore excursion providers. With guaranteed timely returns to the ship, here are some trusted companies I recommend to my clients.

Like a ship-wide game of hide-and-seek. No one really knows how many ducks are scattered across a given cruise ship, but judging from the Facebook page, some people are carting entire suitcases filled with ducks to hide. So there could be thousands aboard any given boat.
Some of the ducks are your standard yellow rubber ducks, but many people have gotten creative with teeny tiny ducks, extra large ducks, bedazzled ducks, and even some elaborate full scenes that they created with a lot of time and effort. Any rubber duck you want to hide is fair game. Click below to find out more.
