Which cruise terminal is my ship at Port Canaveral?
Port Canaveral's own pages list 7 cruise terminals with their addresses and assign no cruise line to any of them: your cruise documents name your terminal, and the table below gives each address, so the car is sent to the right door (Port Canaveral, n.d.).
The port's own caution: Ship schedules and assigned terminals are subject to change. Drive straight to the cruise terminal to drop off passengers and baggage; on the way home the pick-up is in front of the terminal entrance. Terminals 5, 6, 8 and 10 are the A terminals on the north side, reached from S.R. 528 at Exit 54A; Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are the B terminals on the south side, Exit 54B. Parking opens at 10 a.m. on embarkation days. (Port Canaveral, n.d.).
Not on the pages I read: which cruise line uses which terminal: the port's pages name none and send itinerary questions to the cruise line. A terminal assignment is the cruise line's to change, so the desk checks your documents against the port's page the day before the car is sent.
What the car does: give the desk the ship and the sailing time with the flight number, and the car is sent to the terminal's own address above, planned against your line's check-in cutoff rather than the drive. The fare is agreed before the car moves, the captain watches the flight, and the pickup after the cruise is at the same terminal.
