Horrible Horrible set up.. we will NEVER schedule a cruise out of this port again. Too small to accommodate so many people.. The disembarking was torture.. line after line after line in 90° weather at least... Makes for a miserable ending to a nice vacation....

We have cruised from several cruise terminals and Jaxport is by far our favorite! Parking is so easy and the porters come to your car and pick up your bags. The check-in process is quick and easy, and the employees are always courteous and helpful!

We had a very easy time at Jaxport! We got our luggage checked and got through the terminal with no problem. The staff at the terminal was very friendly.

Left 1 star cause I just need to ask a question.
HELP!!! Leaving for cruise in 21 days.
Never sailed out of Jacksonville before.
Is the cruise terminal at Jaxport or do you have to park @ Jaxport & take a shuttle to the cruise terminal? That’s what I’m gathering from the reading. Meaning paying daily car rental fees & shuttle fees to & from the terminal.

Worst experience EVER! Very very rude employees at the terminal. They treat you less than human. I was yelled at 3 times, 2 times boarding 1 time departing and I stood up good myself that time. I had enough by then. The terminal and the Carnival Elation were both horrible for the same reasons. Never use this terminal or ship. Our family and friends that went with us will never use them again.

No AC inside so dress cool while you wait to board or after you get off and go through customs.

Jacksonville is an okay place to go. Swampy and hot but there's a lot to do in the area while you're waiting. The staff was friendly and helpful but they all seemed a little tired. We showed up pretty early and they made us turn around and wait until closer to our boarding time so that was real. There was a massive amount of people and only a one person bathroom so that seems silly. Even with theassive amounts of people they were able to keep the lines moving. It was march when I went so it wasn't too hot yet.

Quick service in and out of the port. Clean. The customer service associates were very pleasant (carnival) and polite. I would definitely sail from here again.
On a side note, Wally park was horrible. We waited and waited for the bus back to the lot. We learned our lesson- next time, park at the port, spent the extra few bucks. It will be worth it.

We've cruised a lot. This is by far the friendliest staff we have encountered. We felt welcomed, knew exactly where to park and where to go. Up in our return, we were met with welcome backs and our porter took us all the way to our truck. Very impressed.

Easy to find and navigate but at a high price. The price is a bit disappointing though. It's only a matter of time before cruise ships won't be able to come through here. We spoke to the captain and apparently the ship I was on Carnival Elation (which is an older ship) only clears the bridge by about 6 meters. This means all of the newer ships can't doc here and therefore eventually none of the major cruise ships will be able to come through. Sad but I guess understandable. We were also followed all the way out by armed coast guard.
