WELCOME TO THE 

Are you ready to enjoy the innovative 

cruise experiences of the future To 

‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ over shipboard laser light 

spectaculars, ocean-view water slides 

and on-deck surfing If you’re ready, 

Port Canaveral is ready for you! Our 

already popular homeported fleet is being 

enhanced now by some of the newest and 

biggest ships in the world, including Royal 

Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas, the 

brand-new Carnival Dream and the Disney 

Dream (coming in 2011). 

But rest assured that while our home fleet is 

changing, the other feature that has made us so 

popular with savvy cruise travelers remains the 

same: the pleasant, relaxed experience of getting 

here and being here. 

Choose from our 3-, 4-, 7- or 14-day/night 

getaways to the Bahamas, eastern or western 

Caribbean, and you can arrive at a seaport 

unhampered by big city congestion; park 

conveniently close to your ship (or fly in to a nearby 

airport and find yourself delivered right to our 

door); check-in at a gorgeous cruise terminal with 

the relaxing atmosphere of a tropical paradise. Port 

Canaveral will put you in the cruising mood long 

before you board!

Port Canaveral CRUISE Guide 3

FROM ARRIVAL TO EMBARKATION 

Once you’ve arrived at Port 

Canaveral, most of the ‘work’ of 

your cruise vacation is done. Our job 

is to make sure that your trip goes 

smoothly from here, so relax and 

have a great time! 

Follow Easy Signage 

For your comfort and convenience, 

the best plan is to arrive at your 

cruise terminal no more than 30 

minutes prior to your scheduled 

embarkation time. Check our Port 

map for your terminal location. 

To make reaching it as simple as 

possible, easy-to-follow signage 

begins pointing the way even 

before you reach our borders. 

Large highways signs on all major 

approaches should lead you to 

the right Port gate, where our 

in-port signage takes over the job 

of making your destination easy to 

find. For those of you using GPS 

for navigation, we’ve also included 

the addresses of our major cruise 

terminals and parking garages. 

But if you do have any trouble, 

don’t worry. Any member of our 

Port staff will be happy to assist you. 

Enjoy Terminal-Side 

Parking 

Each of our six beautiful cruise 

terminals has its own parking area, 

conveniently located and kept 

secure by the watchful eyes of our 

24-hour security team. Passengers 

at Terminal 10 can choose between 

an outdoor parking area and a 

six-level parking garage 

whose fresh and colorful wall art 

makes it easy to find. Adjacent 

to Cruise Terminal 8, a new 

1,000-space parking garage (open 

Fall 2010) offers Disney Cruise 

passengers a similar choice. 

Having your cruise ticket handy 

will smooth your passage through 

the security gates. You can drive 

directly to the terminal parking lot 

or drop off luggage and passengers 

right at the terminal and then park 

your vehicle. Either way, you’ll love 

how short the journey is from car 

to terminal. Special parking spaces 

are provided for disabled persons 

with specially equipped vehicles 

or Florida permits. If you need a 

permit, you can call the State of 

Florida at 800-983-2435 to apply. 

Know Parking Fees 

Upfront 

Long-term parking fees are $15/day 

for vehicles up to 20 feet in length 

and $26/day for vehicles over 20 

feet. Please pay the fee for the full 

period you will be parked when you 

enter the parking area. We accept 

cash, Visa, Mastercard and Traveler’s 

Checks issued in U.S. dollars. 

(Note that all fees stated above are subject 

to change without notice by the Canaveral 

Port Authority.)

Trouble-Free Navigation to Your In-Port Destinations 

To make it easy to find cruise ships, which may be berthed at a cruise terminal on either the A or B side of the harbor, 

signs provide clear directions. Cruise lines and ships are listed on the signs, along with the appropriate exits.

FROM ARRIVAL TO EMBARKATION 

After a gentle warm-up of easy 

travel and stress-free parking 

close to your terminal, it’s time 

for the best part of your dream 

vacation to begin. Relax and 

have a great time! 

The Cruising Mood 

Starts Under the Palms 

Our six dedicated cruise terminals 

were custom designed to ease 

you through the embarking (and 

disembarking) process and get you 

in the cruising mood. Palm trees, 

tropical colors, beautiful views, 

rippling water, a warm sea breeze... 

go ahead, let loose and enjoy. To 

sail smoothly through the security 

measures that are necessary for 

your safety, be prepared to show 

your cruise ticket when you enter 

the terminal and remember to carry 

proof of U.S. citizenship in your day 

bag for handy access. In addition, 

be sure to check with your cruise 

line for required identification and 

documentation. For more tips to help 

you cruise through the embarkation 

process, visit our website at 

www.portcanaveral.com/cruising/ 

security.php. 


Just Don’t Forget 

to Board! 

Our terminals will put you in the 

vacation mood, but don’t forget 

there’s more enjoyment to come. 

Cruises from Port Canaveral include 

3-, 4-, 7- and 14-day/night excursions 

aboard vessels from Carnival 

Cruise Lines, Disney Cruise Line, 

Royal Caribbean International and 

Norwegian Cruise Line (seasonally, 

beginning October 2010). One of our 

cruises is sure to suit your schedule 

and fire your imagination! 


FINDING DREAM FULFILMENT THROUGH 

Try the Fun Ships of Carnival 

Carnival Cruise Lines, the largest cruise line in the world, was one of the first cruise lines to recognize the advantages 

of sailing out of Port Canaveral. It currently has two beautiful ships homeported here: Carnival Sensation, offering 

3- and 4-day cruises to the Bahamas, and the biggest and newest member of the Carnival fleet — the impressive 

3,652-passenger Carnival Dream, with 7-day itineraries to the eastern and western Caribbean. Take the Dream 

and you’ll be among the first to indulge in the amenities of a whole new class of ship: the Carnival WaterWorks 

playground, luxury two-story spa, oceanfront whirlpools and new dining and entertainment venues — available only 

at Port Canaveral.

Cruise Terminal 8 at Port Canaveral is the place where it all began — the home of family-oriented Disney Cruise Line. 

Disney Magic and Disney Wonder offer vacationers the incomparable Disney experience on 3- and 4-day, and 7-night 

cruises to the Bahamas, the eastern and western Caribbean and Disney’s private island getaway — Castaway Cay.

of Disney Cruise Line are headed for Port Canaveral, complete with all the fresh adventures and amenities Disney 

Imagineering can create. The two 4,000-passenger sister ships, Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, will be Disney’s

1,936-passenger Norwegian Sun. With no schedules, no regimen, you can eat somewhere different every night, 

rejuvenate at the Body Waves Spa, practice your game at the Sun Club Casino or finally read the book that’s been 

sitting on your nightstand for months...On a seasonal basis — from October to April — the Sun will follow 7- and 14- 

day itineraries that alternate between the eastern and western Caribbean.

AT PORT CANAVERAL 

Would you like to re-create yourself 

Be transported from stressed to 

relaxed From bored to invigorated 

From indoor pale to outdoor tan 

At Port Canaveral, we have an 

abundance of options for turning 

an idle hour, day or week into a 

transforming experience. 

Stake Your Claim 

to a Spot in the Sun 

Our three public waterfront parks 

provide more recreational facilities 

than Florida’s other 13 deepwater 

seaports combined. There is a park 

to suit everyone’s style, from 35-acre 

Jetty Park with its ocean beach, 

campground and air-conditioned 

refreshment center to quiet 4-acre 

Rodney S. Ketcham Park with its stop 

on the Great Florida Birding Trail. 

Bring Home a Fish Tale 

Fishing is a popular sport at Port 

Canaveral, and there are many ways 

to do it. If you like to keep your 

feet on dry land, try fishing from 

one of our parks. Our most popular 

fishing spot is the paved and lighted 

Malcolm E. McLouth Fishing Pier 

at Jetty Park. Anglers gather here 

around the clock to try their luck 

at snook, Spanish mackerel, drum 

and other challenging sport fish. 

If offshore fishing calls to you, 

chartering services are readily 

available at Port Canaveral for 

half-day, full-day and nighttime 

excursions. You can join a scheduled 

tour or fishing expedition or plan 

your own party. For more information 

about charters in the Port area, cast 

your line to the Canaveral Charter 

Captains’ Association website at 

www.fishingspacecoast.org. 

Snack, Wine, Dine 

or Boogie at The Cove 

on the Waterfront 

Don’t miss the great experience 

of dining at Port Canaveral! Our 

restaurants offer a range of fare 

from finger foods to full-course 

dinners. If you’re in the mood for 

seafood, where could the day’s catch 

be fresher than within yards of the 

dock If you’re not in the seafood 

mood, how about a great grilled 

steak, smoked pork ribs, fettuccine 

alfredo, fried gator bites, or a big 

piece of bourbon pecan pie 

It’s all here. 


The Cove is a harbor-side recreation 

area, where you can enjoy a stroll 

with a water view and a variety of 

restaurants, lounges and shops. Several 

fishing charter boats sail from here. 

Many restaurants in The Cove have 

outdoor waterside dining areas and 

tiki bars, great locations for watching 

the cruise ships glide by regally or just 

taking pleasure in an onshore breeze. 

When the sun goes down, the fun 

doesn’t end. It gets livelier...with DJs, 

live bands, dancing and karaoke. Feel 

free to explore. There’s amazing variety 

within easy walking distance. 

In addition, the Port Canaveral 

Association, an organization of Port 

businesses, hosts several major events 

during the year. For more information, 

you can visit their website at 

www.visitportcanaveral.com.
