Public Parking at OPT:
Non-cruise ship days only
Paid public parking is only available at the OPT on non-cruise days. There is no public parking available when a ship is in port as it is reserved for use by providores and service providers to the cruise lines.
Please check the cruise schedule for details about when a ship is in port, noting that changes to published times can occur. All users of this car park must comply with our Terms and Conditions.
The car park is only open between 5am and 1am on non-cruise days, when there are no ships at the Overseas Passenger Terminal.
