Can I park at the Cruise Port?
A reliable resource for finding parking is the official website of Port Everglades, the cruise port. To get more information about the cruise port, including a list of available parking places, click here.
Where is the Cruise Port?
Port Everglades is located on the southeastern coast of the Florida peninsula within the three cities of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Dania Beach, as well as unincorporated Broward County. Please refer to Port Everglades website for specific directions. There will be directional boards to help you to find the specific terminal for our ship, the Celebrity Summit. We will announce the exact terminal number closer to sailing.
How will I get to and from the airport?
Airport to Pier: When you arrive at Fort Lauderdale International Airport, you will find taxis readily available to help you get to the cruise terminal. The taxi drivers are well-acquainted with the cruise terminal and will take you directly to the boarding area. Ride-sharing services may also be available.
Celebrity Cruises also offers transfers to and from the Fort Lauderdale and Miami airports. This must be purchased in advance by contacting Celebrity Cruises at: 844.278.9746.

How do I board the ship?
As you enter Port Everglades cruise terminal, you will see signage that will direct you to the Celebrity Cruises Terminal location. These signs are like the arrival and departure signage you see at airports. When you arrive at the Celebrity Terminal, you will check your luggage with the ship porters, make sure that you have attached your Celebrity luggage tags (available to print, during online check-in). The porters will have additional luggage tags available for your use. Once you give the porter your luggage you will not have access to it until it has gone through TSA-style security and been delivered to your stateroom.
Please do not place your boarding documents (including your passport and Celebrity Cruises Xpress pass) in your checked luggage as you will need them to continue through the boarding process. Once onboard the ship, your SeaPass card can be found on your stateroom door/mail slot. The SeaPass card will serve as your stateroom key to use for all your onboard expenses, and the card you use to get on and off the ship at our ports of call.
Please note: to control the flow of guests in the terminal, Celebrity requires guests to select a Terminal Arrival Time during the Online Check-In process. You must arrive at the Terminal during your selected boarding window. If you arrive outside of the window, you will be required to wait outside of the Terminal until space in the Terminal permits. If you purchased One-Way Ground Transportation to the Pier via Jazz Cruises, please select the latest assigned time window during the Online Check-In process. Signature Jazz Cruises will override this window to accommodate the timing of the coach arrival.
