Country Inn is the planner's pick. Parking is a flat $65 for up to five days or $99 for up to ten, and the round-trip shuttle for two comes with it.
For a couple on a seven-night cruise that's $99 before tax, ride included, the lowest all-in total in our parking math. You can also call to book the shuttle days ahead, while TownePlace and SpringHill only take bookings the night before.
Book it if
- Couples driving in, since parking includes the ride for two
- Week-long sailings, where the flat $99 tier pays off
- Planners who want the shuttle booked before they leave home
Look elsewhere if
- You want a pool you can count on in winter. It's seasonal.
- You're bringing a pet. Service animals only.
