THAT WAS AN ABSOLUTE BEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN. THANK YOU SO MUCH, AFTER WATCHING THIS I DECIDED WE ARE GOING TO STAY AT HOLIDAY INN, CAN YOU WALK TO ANY SHIP THAT IS DOCKED THERE OR JUST THE MARDI GRAS, FIRST TIME LEAVING OUT OF THAT TERMINAL, THANKS AGAIN
@@cokerichert Thank you so much! Unfortunately, no, this hotel is only super convenient for the Glory and the Mardi Gras. You would have to take a taxi or shuttle to the other terminals.
I have been out of Terminal Three twice once for the Mardi Gras and once on the Liberty, my trip on the Mardi Gras was for Carnival’s 50th Birthday Sailabration Cruise March of 2022 and at that time it was the most crowded the ship had been since it started sailing. And I was so impressed at how quickly everything went, even with the crowds, I timed it and from getting out of my car around 10:30 AM in the parking garage to stepping foot on the ship was twenty minutes, I was very impressed at how quickly they processed everyone. I will be sailing on the Glory in December, thanks for pointing out that small restaurant at Jetty’s point, that food looked delicious.
Great video with clear information! I had booded the Holiday Inn after watching your other video about it and was wondering how we check in with porters since we won't be driving in. Thanks for the info and making our upcoming adventure better!
Absolutely love this video! I don’t like surprises either so this answered a lot of my questions! 😃 Thank you for explaining that the garage can open for parking early, but what time would you estimate that the porters started taking luggage? Thank you in advance!
Hello, what does the security process look like? That’s the only part I didn’t see but I just want to know is it like airport with the full body scanner or what?
@@xoxoluvKTHi, no full body scanner, but there is a metal detector you must pass through and a drug dog sniff. They will x-ray your bag and open it, if they see anything they do not like.
Thank you for sharing this very informational and detailed video. I will cruising Carnival in Nov. and I read parking garage 3 has sunpass option to pay for parking. Did you notice if there is a special lane at the ticket booth at the entrance or exit marked either sunpass or ezpass, like how they have it at the airport? Thank you and Happy Cruising
@@SweeteaLady65 yes, it does, but the price was high. I recorded their prices for shuttle in this video when I reviewed the hotel. ruclips.net/video/1qejZYn6BNQ/видео.html
I have seen mixed answers on whether or not you can leave your car at the Holiday Inn Express for $15/day. We will be staying there for the first time in November and woukd like to leave the car and walk across to the terminal. Is this something you have personally done? Thank you so much for the video, very helpful.
Yes, i have personally done this twice. The last time was March 11th. I have another reservation and cruise in September. I will let you know if they do not allow it. I do know you have to stay there at least one night to do it.
I’ve have book with Holiday Inn Express on the IHG app. They do have a Park, Stay and go 4 day option, which allows you to stay overnight and leave your vehicle for 4 days.
@imsofrugal4838 Hi, they did the last time I stayed with them in May. I just asked to leave my car and they charged 15 a day. They do not have something you can prebook online.
If you stay at the holiday inn across the street and walk to terminal three on embarkation day where do you go after dropping your luggage off to the porters? Are there escalators or elevators to take you to level 3 or do you have to take the stairs or ramp?
So even if we are parking at the hotel we drop luggage at the bottom of parking garage with porters and then go up to deck 3 correct? There isn't a separate porter area? First time at that hotel and terminal so this was very helpful.
@aliciaparker9792 Hi Alicia, thanks for watching. Yes. everyone drops their luggage off at the same spot right there at those yellow posts on the ground floor, no matter where you park or if you come from across the street. Of course you may always carryon if you like and skip all that. I usually check a bag and carry a bag.
Thank you so much for your content! It answered my questions as well. 😊

Thank you. They were taking luggage by 9am.

Hi Debbie, thank you. Yes, the Sunpass reader is on the ramp between the ground floor and the first deck of the parking garage.
Great video!
Thank you!
What you need to know is STAY OUT OF THE LEFT LANE ON 528 also remember be nice to the locals they live here
@jmag6096 lol, i live here.
Did he take the toll to go to the port or did he avoid the tolls?
@@danaclinch5761 the toll
Do you know if that hotel provides airport shuttle?
@@SweeteaLady65 yes, it does, but the price was high. I recorded their prices for shuttle in this video when I reviewed the hotel.

Thank you! We will be staying the night before our cruise. Hopefully they still do it in November.
Hi: you can call the hotel they will let you know if this is still available at the time you are cruising.
I’ve have book with Holiday Inn Express on the IHG app. They do have a Park, Stay and go 4 day option, which allows you to stay overnight and leave your vehicle for 4 days.

@yvettew4405 Hi Yvette, there is an escalator, an elevator, and stairs from street level to level 3 where you enter the terminal.
So even if we are parking at the hotel we drop luggage at the bottom of parking garage with porters and then go up to deck 3 correct? There isn't a separate porter area? First time at that hotel and terminal so this was very helpful.
