The county names Celebrity Cruises at Cruise Terminal 25 and Celebrity answers with a map pin
Broward County names Celebrity Cruises on the Cruise Terminal 25 page and prints 2025 Eller Dr., Hollywood, Florida 33316. The cruise line gives 1850 Eller Drive, the port’s front gate, and no building number anywhere in its own prose. The number appears on its Fort Lauderdale page once, inside a map embed.
Cruise Terminal 25 is the 157,800 square foot Port Everglades building Broward County describes as primarily used by Celebrity Cruises, parked from the 1,966 space Palm Parking Garage. Both sides of the table below were read in September 2026, and the two issuers disagree about the one thing that costs money.
The usual pattern at Port Everglades runs the other way. Disney Cruise Line names Cruise Terminals 4, 2 and 26 on its own site and Holland America Line names 26, 19 and 21, while the county names an operator on only two of the eight terminal pages. Its interactive parking map names a line for seven of the eight, and there Celebrity Cruises appears at two buildings, Cruise Terminal 25 on its own and Cruise Terminal 29 alongside Royal Caribbean International.
| Detail a Celebrity passenger needs | What Broward County publishes | What Celebrity Cruises publishes | Distance between the two |
|---|---|---|---|
| Building number | Cruise Terminal 25, primarily used by Celebrity Cruises | No number in prose; one map embed titled Port Everglades Cruise Terminal 25 | The number exists on celebritycruises.com as machine text only |
| Street address | 2025 Eller Dr., Hollywood, Florida 33316 | 1850 Eller Drive, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33316 | Two addresses, one of them the administration gate |
| Parking, standard vehicle | $25 daily maximum since October 1, 2026, sales taxes included | $15 USD per day | $10.00 per day in the county’s favor |
| Parking, oversized vehicle | $30.00 per entry in item 1135, $35 on the parking page | $19 per day | $11.00 to $16.00 per day in the county’s favor |
| Which garage | Palm Parking Garage, 1,966 spaces, 7-foot clearance | The appropriate parking garage for that terminal, unnamed | Only Broward County names the building |
| Who to call about parking | Parking management team, 954-468-3680 | USA Parking, (954)468-3680 | Same seven digits, one company name |
| What time to arrive | Follow cruise line’s assigned check-in time | No hour on the Port Everglades block | Each issuer points at the other |
The map row deserves a word of its own. On the Celebrity Cruises page for Fort Lauderdale, under a heading reading Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port Facilities and Location, the prose says only that a sailing from Fort Lauderdale leaves from Port Everglades, that the airport is a ten minute drive away, and that free Wi-Fi and parking facilities are available. Directly beneath it sits an embedded Google map whose place parameter reads Port Everglades Cruise Terminal 25. The building number is on the site, inside a query string rather than in a sentence.
That ten minute figure is not the cruise line’s invention. The Broward County Aviation Department publishes about a 10-minute ride from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to Port Everglades, while the port’s own cruise FAQ asks passengers to allow 45 minutes to 1 hour for the same 1.8 miles, because one is timing a drive and the other a process. The two parking rows in the table are the ones that cost money, because a figure that no longer matches the filed tariff still reads like a current price to anyone building a budget from it.
Inside 2025 Eller Dr., Broward County measures everything except the berth
The features list Broward County publishes for Cruise Terminal 25 is almost entirely measurement. Total floor is 157,800 square feet, or 14,660 square meters. Baggage laydown takes 23,130 square feet and the passenger waiting area 12,653. The building holds 48 check-in stations, 4 elevators and 6 escalators, offers simultaneous embark and debark, and carries free Wi-Fi.
Two of those figures are worth putting side by side, and the percentages that follow are arithmetic on county figures rather than numbers the county prints. At 157,800 square feet, Cruise Terminal 25 is the second largest of the eight buildings at Port Everglades, behind Cruise Terminal 18 at 259,370. Its waiting area takes 8 percent of its own floor, the smallest share of the eight; Cruise Terminal 18 gives 29 percent of its floor to waiting and Cruise Terminal 2 gives 24 percent. A large hall that seats few people is a hall built to keep passengers moving, and the 48 check-in stations sit behind that arithmetic.
One line is missing, and Broward County prints it for six of the eight. Cruise Terminals 2, 18, 19, 21, 26 and 29 all carry a berth length and a water depth. Cruise Terminal 25 carries neither, and neither does Cruise Terminal 4. The full county dossier for all eight buildings, with square footage and check-in counts, sits in the terminal by terminal reference for Port Everglades.
The page also lists three public art works by name: a light wall called Map of the Tropics by Vanessa Till Hopper, a road sculpture called Exuberance by Alice Aycock, and a wall mural called Transcend by Leon Bedore. A reader learns who made the sculpture outside the door and not how deep the water is beside it.
The one Port Everglades figure Celebrity Cruises prints is $10.00 a day under the county maximum
One page on celebritycruises.com carries a Port Everglades block under the heading port and terminal information. The parking paragraph reads, in full: rates are $15 USD per day for the regular vehicles and $19 for the oversized vehicles, rates subject to change without notice by the Port Authority. That string was confirmed in the raw HTML of the page in September 2026, not in a summary of it.
Item 1135 of Port Everglades Tariff No. 12, reissued effective October 1, 2026, sets a $25.00 daily maximum and $30.00 for oversized vehicles, the parking page prints $35 for the oversized day, and the item adds the sentence that closes the argument: all parking fees include sales taxes. So the county number is a ceiling with the tax already inside, and the Celebrity number is $10.00 and at least $11.00 below it before any tax question arises.
Two things make the gap awkward rather than merely stale. Celebrity’s own sentence warns that rates are subject to change without notice by the Port Authority while printing the rate that already changed. And Royal Caribbean International, in the same corporate group, printed $20 and $25 on its Port Everglades page in September 2026, which matched the tariff then in force and leaves it $5.00 low too since October 1. The full comparison of what all ten companies in the county directory publish about their buildings is in the cruise line by cruise line reconstruction at Port Everglades.
Seven nights of Palm Garage parking at the Celebrity number and at the Broward number
A per day gap of $10.00 is easy to shrug off and hard to absorb at the barrier. Run it across a seven night sailing, the standard week out of Fort Lauderdale, and the difference stops being a rounding error.
| Vehicle at the Palm Parking Garage | Rate a passenger budgets from Celebrity Cruises | Rate Broward County charges | Seven days budgeted | Seven days billed | Shortfall at the machine |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard car under 7 feet | $15 USD per day | $25 daily maximum, taxes included | $105.00 | $175.00 | $70.00 |
| Oversized vehicle up to 24 feet | $19 per day | $30.00 per entry in item 1135, $35 on the parking page | $133.00 | $210.00 to $245.00 | $77.00 to $112.00 |
Both totals in the billed column are calculations from the county’s published daily maximum, not figures Broward County prints, because the port publishes no worked multi-day example anywhere on its site. The arithmetic is unusually clean here for one reason: all daily rates begin when you pull the parking ticket from the machine, so a seven night cruise that returns at the hour it left is seven billed days and not eight. Miami-Dade County counts the day of entry and each successive day instead, which is why the same car pays more across the county line. The full rate ladder, which the parking page now prints in full, is set out in what Broward County charges to park at Port Everglades.
For a Celebrity passenger the practical verdict is one line long. Budget from the county, never from the cruise line, and the criterion is that only one of the two issuers can charge you.
Three numbered Port Canaveral terminals sit on the same page that numbers none at Port Everglades
The same Celebrity page that goes quiet about Port Everglades gets specific about the other Florida port. Under a heading it titles Port and Terminal Information, Celebrity Cruises lists Cruise Terminal #1 at 9050 Discovery Road, Cruise Terminal #5 at 9245 Charles M Rowland Dr and Cruise Terminal #6 at 9241 Charles M Rowland Dr, all in Cape Canaveral, Florida 32920, and then tells passengers to check their cruise documents before arriving to see which terminal the ship departs from.
Port Canaveral also gets a parking ladder that Port Everglades does not: $68.00 for 3 nights, $85.00 for 4, $102.00 for 5, $119.00 for 6, $136.00 for 7 and $153.00 for 8. Those six figures rise in steps of exactly $17.00. Canaveral Port Authority publishes $20.00 per day plus tax as its cruise rate, and a separate $17.00 per day plus tax line it calls long-term without ever defining the term. So even the ladder Celebrity does print tracks the rate the port leaves undefined rather than the one it charges cruise passengers.
Read together, the two blocks answer the question of whether the omission is policy. One Florida port gets three street numbers, an instruction and a six step price ladder on that page. The other gets an address, a wrong pair of rates and a phone number.
The only cruise terminal Celebrity names in South Florida is one Miami-Dade County gives to Royal Caribbean
Celebrity Cruises does carry a Terminal Information heading in South Florida, and it sits under PortMiami rather than Port Everglades. The sentence reads that Terminal A is the home terminal for all Oasis Class vessels when sailing out of PortMiami, and that all other ships should consult their email communication and the directional signage on arrival.
Miami-Dade County attributes Terminal A at 2000 N Cruise Blvd to Royal Caribbean International under its full name, The Crown of Miami, and royalcaribbean.com groups part of its own fleet under a heading reading Meet the Oasis Class. The one building Celebrity names between Miami and Fort Lauderdale therefore belongs to a sister brand, while the building a county hands to Celebrity goes unmentioned.
A second detail in the Port Everglades block points the same way. For day of travel concerns Celebrity gives (800) 256-6649, which is the number Canaveral Port Authority publishes for Royal Caribbean International in its own cruise line directory, alongside 1-888-751-7804 for Celebrity Cruises. Nothing about that is hidden or improper, and it is worth knowing before dialing on embarkation morning.
Where a car left at Cruise Terminal 25 actually goes, and who Celebrity says to call about it
Celebrity’s instruction for Port Everglades is to drop checked luggage at the pier terminal with the porters and the cruise line representative, then proceed to the appropriate parking garage for that terminal. Which garage that is never appears. Port Everglades answers it in one line: the 1,966 space Palm Parking Garage serves Cruise Terminals 19, 21, 25, 26 and 29, posts a 7-foot clearance, and is signed from all three port entrances with green markers carrying a palm frond.
Three further county rules change what a driver should carry. The port does not accept reservations or pre-payment for parking, takes cash, credit and debit at contactless machines on the first floor of the garages, and prices oversized vehicles at $30.00 per entry in item 1135 and $35 on the parking page, with a maximum length the parking page gives as 24 feet. Parking Lot A, the 770 space surface lot entered at 2000 Eller Drive, serves Cruise Terminals 19 and 26 and not 25, so a Celebrity driver following a lot sign is in the wrong queue.
Then there is the phone number. Passengers are told by Celebrity Cruises to contact USA Parking at (954)468-3680 for vehicle size restrictions, and Royal Caribbean names the same operator and the same digits on its own Port Everglades page. Port Everglades prints 954-468-3680 twice and calls the recipient its parking management team, with no company attached. So the two brands in the group agree on who runs the garage and, as read in September 2026, printed rates $5.00 a day apart, both of them now below what the county charges, which is an odd place for a single corporate fact sheet to split.
Cruise Terminal 25 and Cruise Terminal 4 are the two terminal pages with a cruise line and a blank berth
Broward County names an operator on exactly two of its eight terminal pages: Cruise Terminal 4 for Disney Cruise Line and Cruise Terminal 25 for Celebrity Cruises. Those are also the only two whose technical dossier omits the berth line, which is the one figure that tells a reader what size of ship the water beside the building will take.
Quay lengths on the six that do publish it run from 800 feet at Cruise Terminal 29 to 1,648 feet at Cruise Terminal 18, and depths from 31 feet at Cruise Terminal 2 to 40 feet at Cruise Terminals 26 and 29. Nothing in either range is quoted for 2025 Eller Dr.
The gap closes from the ship side rather than the building side. The county’s own vessel database gives Celebrity Reflection an overall length of 1,046.64 feet and a summer draft of 28.22 feet, so the water at berth 25 takes at least that. Two buildings carry a brand on the county website, and both of them have an incomplete engineering file.
The county ship board records a Celebrity ship at berth 25 that the terminal page never mentions
A public vessel traffic board sits at pevvesseltraffic.broward.org with no login and no registration, and Broward County links it from all eight terminal pages as See Today’s Ship Schedule. Berth numbers on that board match terminal numbers, which is provable from the two assignments the port publishes: Disney at berth 04 and Celebrity at berth 25.
A 37 day window read on that board on September 4, 2026, covering September 4 to October 10, returned 315 movements, of which 123 were cruise movements by 8 vessels across 6 berths. Of those, Celebrity Reflection accounted for 12, every one at berth 25, and no vessel changed berth during the window. The Cruise Terminal 25 page advertises Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Xcel; the board recorded neither, and logged Celebrity Reflection instead. One page states an intention and the other logs what tied up. The port’s cruise landing page, read on October 7, 2026, names a third set, calling Cruise Terminal 25 home to Celebrity’s Edge, Apex and Beyond after an investment of $100 million+ in its renovation.
Two cautions come with reading that board for a Celebrity sailing. Berth 25 is not reserved for cruise ships, and a bunker barge transfer landed there at 22:22 on September 5, 2026, so rows have to be filtered by Cargo Type rather than by berth number. And the horizon is short: the last cruise movement in the entire database was Celebrity Reflection leaving berth 25 at 17:00 on October 10, 2026, about 36 days out. How the fourteen column grid works, and where its 500 row ceiling bites, is unpacked in the guide to reading the Port Everglades vessel tracker.
Checks a Celebrity passenger can finish before driving to 2025 Eller Dr.
- Set the parking budget at $25 a day with tax inside, so seven nights is $175.00 and not the $105.00 that Celebrity’s $15 USD per day implies.
- Measure the roof box before leaving: the Palm Parking Garage posts a 7-foot clearance, and Broward County prices anything oversized at $30.00 per entry in item 1135, $35 on the parking page, rather than per day.
- Drive to 2025 Eller Dr., Hollywood, Florida 33316 and not to the 1850 Eller Drive that Celebrity publishes, which is the port administration building just inside the gate.
- Carry official photo identification for everyone over 18 plus cruise documentation, because all three port entrances check it and vehicles are subject to search.
- Check the vessel traffic board the night before and filter by Cargo Type, since berth 25 also takes bunker barges and the cruise row is the one that names a Celebrity ship.
- Expect to walk to the taxi pavilion on return: from Cruise Terminal 25 the port directs passengers north with the terminal on the right, past the main entrance doors, to the crosswalk on the left.
- Price the ride before booking a van: a metered taxi from Cruise Terminal 25 to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport runs $18-$21 total, while Van on Demand charges $11 per person for parties of 3 or more, which is $33 for the smallest group it will take and loses to the metered taxi at every size.
Where a Celebrity Cruises arrival at Port Everglades goes wrong
The expensive mistake is the budget one. A passenger who plans from $15 a day arrives $70.00 short across a seven night sailing and $77.00 to $112.00 short in an oversized vehicle, and the machine at the Palm Parking Garage will not honor a cruise line’s page.
The second mistake is trusting primarily used as a guarantee. The hedge was deliberate, and since Celebrity Cruises publishes no number of its own, a passenger who drives to 2025 Eller Dr. on the strength of the county’s phrasing is acting on the only public source there is rather than on a confirmed assignment. The boarding document still outranks both pages.
The third is geography. Cruise Terminal 25 carries a Hollywood address under the same 33316 ZIP code as Fort Lauderdale, which is also true of Cruise Terminals 18 and 21, so a navigation app fed only a city name can send a car toward the wrong end of a port whose buildings sit on SE 20th Street, Eller Drive and SE 32nd Street.
The fourth is timing. Neither issuer publishes a terminal opening hour for Port Everglades: the county says to follow the cruise line’s assigned check-in time and not to arrive before it, and Celebrity’s Port Everglades block prints no hour at all. One clock does exist: the county publishes that passengers typically debark between 7 and 9 AM, and nothing else on either site helps a Cruise Terminal 25 arrival set an alarm.
How these Cruise Terminal 25 and Celebrity Cruises figures were checked
The figures in this guide were verified in September 2026 against the sources named in each section, and every figure credited to Broward County or Port Everglades was read again on October 7, 2026, twice and minutes apart, after Tariff No. 12 was reissued on October 1, 2026. Confirm a rate on the Port Everglades parking page or in item 1135 before driving in. Every October 1, the first day of its fiscal year, the county reissues its port tariff, while shuttle fares and cruise line transfer prices change by season, and ship schedules change weekly; check the issuer’s page before you travel. No provider paid for placement here, and none can pay to appear. Where a booking link earns Lot and Gate a commission it is marked as sponsored and flagged in this line, and as of September 2026 no affiliate link is live anywhere on this site.
Six questions about Celebrity Cruises and Cruise Terminal 25 at Port Everglades
Each answer below names the issuer that publishes the figure, because on this particular terminal the port and the cruise line do not say the same thing. All six were read in September 2026 from porteverglades.net, celebritycruises.com and the county’s public vessel traffic board, and the county figures were read again on October 7, 2026.
The Cruise Terminal 25 page on porteverglades.net describes the building at 2025 Eller Dr., Hollywood, Florida 33316 as primarily used by Celebrity Cruises, and names Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Xcel. Celebrity Cruises publishes no terminal number for Port Everglades on its own site, so the county is the only issuer behind the assignment.
Since October 1, 2026, item 1135 of Port Everglades Tariff No. 12 sets a $25 daily maximum and $30 for oversized vehicles, and states that all parking fees include sales taxes. Seven nights at the Palm Parking Garage therefore comes to $175.00, since the daily rate begins when you pull the ticket.
Celebrity Cruises prints $15 USD per day for regular vehicles and $19 for oversized vehicles on its port and terminal information page, adding that rates are subject to change without notice by the Port Authority. The county now publishes $25 for a car and $30 to $35 for an oversized vehicle, so a seven night budget built from Celebrity falls $70.00 short.
The Palm Parking Garage, with 1,966 spaces and a posted 7-foot clearance, serves Cruise Terminals 19, 21, 25, 26 and 29, and green signs carrying a palm frond lead to it from all three port entrances. Parking Lot A at 2000 Eller Drive serves Cruise Terminals 19 and 26 instead.
Broward County publishes 157,800 square feet of total floor at Cruise Terminal 25, with 23,130 square feet of baggage laydown, a 12,653 square foot passenger waiting area, 48 check-in stations, 4 elevators and 6 escalators. It is the second largest of the eight buildings, behind Cruise Terminal 18 at 259,370 square feet.
Over a 37 day window read on the Broward County vessel traffic board in September 2026, the only Celebrity ship recorded at berth 25 was Celebrity Reflection, with 12 movements and no change of berth. The terminal page advertises Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Xcel, which the board did not register in that window.
What the port will tell you and what the cruise line will not
Port Everglades hands over the building, the measurements and the berth log; Celebrity Cruises hands over a street address and a rate that is $10.00 low. Between them a passenger can settle 157,800 square feet of terminal, 48 check-in stations, a 1,966 space garage at 7 feet of clearance and a $175.00 week before leaving home.
That is a strange split, and it decides where the reading effort belongs. Take money and dimensions from the county, take the ship and the berth from its traffic board, and treat the cruise line page as an address with a price attached that nobody at the barrier has to honor.
