No. You are not allowed to bring a firearm into Port Everglades or any cruise terminal whatsoever. Firearms are strictly prohibited, and attempting to enter the port with one can result in denial of entry, denied boarding, or law enforcement involvement.
Because firearms cannot be brought into the port whatsoever and should not be left in your vehicle, using a secure firearm storage facility in Fort Lauderdale is the safest and most legally compliant option before boarding your cruise.
You may be denied entry into the port, refused boarding, or face law enforcement involvement. We strongly recommend arranging firearm storage in advance at our Fort Lauderdale location before heading to Port Everglades.
We are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. However, if you are an out of town cruise passenger returning on either of those days, please note that on your booking and we will coordinate for someone to be available so you can retrieve your firearm.

We accept major credit and debit cards. Payment is required at the time of drop off unless otherwise arranged in advance.
