We sailed out of Ft. Lauderdale on the Eurodam this past February seeking some warmer weather. This was our second voyage on the ship as we had taken a Baltic Sea cruise in July, 2014.
Parking at Port Everglades was very easy as we parked at the Mid Port Garage which was covered and a short 5 minute walk to the Holland America cruise terminal.
Checking in took less than 10 minutes as we arrived around 11:00 AM or so and our wait was ½ hour before we were allowed to board.
