Frequently asked questions
Is Florida always the simpler flight?
Not from these pages. It is simpler if you already live nearby. The airport note is different in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando for Port Canaveral, and Houston or Hobby for Galveston.
Does the cruise fare include parking?
No. Port Canaveral's recorded parking price is separate. Other ports say to confirm parking for the voyage.
Are Manhattan and Brooklyn the same terminal?
No. The New York guide says to confirm which one. Bayonne is a third possibility.
Can I compare these fares directly?
Only as dated starting fares for different nights and ports. They are not a single product.
