A cruise port is considered to be the facility on the ocean, sea, river, or lake where ocean going vessels are docked, and passengers or cargo are unloaded, many arriving or departing from two, three, four, or seven day cruise trips. There are many local attractions around each of the port to visit when arriving or leaving.
One of the finer deepwater cruise ports is the Port Canaveral Terminals, offering Port Canaveral Cruise Terminal Transportation and Port Canaveral Cruise Terminal Transfers. The advantage of the Port Canaveral Cruise Terminal Transportation is its 24-hour surveillance, gates, and it is paved with parking located at each terminal. Everything is well posted with signs to give excellent directions, with choices of outdoor parking or a six-level indoor parking garage that was recently built. The disabled have special parking facilities, with free parking when the Florida Toll Exemption permit is on the vehicle, or a vehicle has special handicapped equipment (ramps, lifts, controls for the foot or hands, for a disabled person). The fee at the Terminals is $12 per day for any vehicle up to 20 feet in length, and $24 for anything over that. This fee must be paid for the full time any of the vehicles are parked in several options--such as Cash, U.S. credit cards Visa or MasterCard, and also Traveler’s Checks. But for those who have business at the Terminal, or are onboard during the ship’s docking, limited free parking is available in the “Daytime Only” parking area. There is no parking for overnight usage in the Daytime parking areas without port authority. Free parking is available at the SunCruz Casino, which is located in the Cove near Rusty’s and Morgan’s Seafood Restaurants for those who want to enjoy fine dining or entertainment. The Port Canaveral Cruise Terminal transfers involve extra services, depending on where the docking is. Any transfer may be purchased through the motels themselves or through Carnival Cruise Lines Reservations about one week prior to the cruise. Another option would while on-board through the Information Desk, excluding Honolulu/Ensenada).

A good thing about traveling by cruises is the leisurely atmosphere and their environmentally friendly services. Some cruise ships currently turn off their vessels when docking and plug into clean electrical power with their special shore power programs, reducing air emissions. . with only specific ports being able to use this new technology, such as Juneau, Alaska and Seattle, Washington already with Los Angeles, California’s port being ready in 2008.
