About Fort Lauderdale Port
If you've ever taken a Caribbean cruise, chances are good you did it from Fort Lauderdale Port. The Port Everglades cruise terminal is one of the economic engines of Florida, but the cruise terminal itself is just part of this gigantic port. Fort Lauderdale is a center of shipbuilding, yachting, and marine research, along with its importance to the cruise ship trade. So if you intend to get out on the water in this part of Florida - and why wouldn't you? - there's a good chance you'll do it from here.

Whether you're waiting to take your cruise or you just stepped off the ship, our luggage storage service lets you leave heavy bags behind and travel light.

How does the Bounce luggage storage process work at Fort Lauderdale Port?
- Effortless booking: Travelers can use the Bounce app to quickly find and reserve a storage spot near Fort Lauderdale Port. The process is so easy and quick that you can arrange your luggage storage ahead of time or once you realize you need it after arriving at the port.
- Secure payment: To confirm your Bounce reservation, you'll need to pay securely online. This generates a unique QR code that's both your confirmation and the method to drop off and pick up your items. Luckily, you won't need exact change on hand or US dollars if you're traveling internationally.
- Guaranteed bag space: Since you booked ahead, you can be sure that we have space available for your bags and other belongings. This is not the case with lockers as you need to show up to see what (if anything) is available.
How does Bounce differ from traditional luggage lockers?
- No cash needed: Unlike traditional luggage lockers, Bounce allows for cashless transactions through our app, providing convenience and security.
- Flat daily rate: We strictly charge a flat rate per day per item. It's easy to budget and afford our top-quality service. Lockers, on the other, generally charge hourly so you can run out of time or disrupt your schedule by constantly going back and forth to add money.
- Local shops and businesses: Our luggage storage network is formed through local businesses that have extra space to store luggage. This is extra secure because there is consistently someone present when each location is open. The opening hours are usually between 9 AM and 8 PM, with some others open up to 24 hours a day.
