Celebrity Cruises at Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale)
Celebrity Cruises sails from Port Everglades, Broward County's cruise port in Fort Lauderdale. The port's Terminal 25 page names Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Xcel among the ships that use it, and the terminal was built around large modern ships, with 48 check-in stations and simultaneous embarkation and debarkation.
What Terminal Is Celebrity In at Fort Lauderdale?
Celebrity's Edge-class ships use Cruise Terminal 25 at Port Everglades. The port's Terminal 25 page describes it as primarily used by Celebrity Cruises' most innovative ships, including Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Xcel. None of the port's other terminal pages name Celebrity, but terminals are assigned per sailing, so the terminal on your boarding documents is the one to give your driver.
Where Do You Park for a Celebrity Cruise at Port Everglades?
Terminal 25 guests park in the Palm Parking Garage, which the port lists with 1,966 secure, covered spaces. Port Everglades charges $5 for up to 1 hour, $10 for up to 5 hours and a $25 daily maximum for a standard vehicle, or a $35 daily maximum for oversized vehicles, per its parking rates page. For a group, one charter from the airport or a hotel avoids paying for several cars for the length of the cruise.
How Far Is the Celebrity Terminal From the Airport?
Port Everglades says its cruise terminals are only 1.8 miles from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), so the airport-to-ship leg is short. Groups flying into Orlando or Palm Beach have a much longer ride, which is where a private motorcoach helps keep everyone and their luggage together.
