Why Cruisers Like Asphalt Lots Norfolk
Asphalt Lots is a particularly convenient choice for travelers who prefer to leave their vehicle indoors while they cruise. Instead of driving into busy downtown Norfolk on embarkation morning, guests park at the Chesapeake facility, unload their luggage and take the complimentary shuttle directly to the Norfolk Cruise Terminal.
A few features that make this location stand out:
-
Indoor parking helps keep your vehicle protected from sun, rain and changing weather while you're away.
-
Complimentary round-trip cruise shuttle eliminates the need to arrange separate transportation to the terminal during scheduled shuttle hours.
-
Luggage assistance makes the transition from your vehicle to the shuttle easier, especially for families and travelers with multiple bags.
-
Veteran-owned and operated facility offering parking specifically geared toward cruise travelers.
-

What Cruisers Are Saying
Recent traveler feedback highlights the staff and shuttle experience as some of the biggest advantages of parking at Asphalt Lots.
Cruisers frequently describe the team as friendly, professional and helpful, with several guests specifically noting assistance with luggage and an easy check-in process. Travelers also report that the ride to the cruise terminal is straightforward and that staff help keep the departure-day parking process organized.
One helpful thing to know: return pickup can become busier when a large number of passengers leave the ship at the same time. Some cruisers report a longer wait for the return shuttle during these peak periods, even when the line continues moving steadily. If you're not in a rush after disembarking, allowing a little extra time for the return transfer can make the end of your trip more relaxed.
Traveler Takeaway
Best for: Cruisers looking for indoor parking, included shuttle transportation and luggage assistance without having to park directly in downtown Norfolk.
Good to Know Before You Park
A few details can make your cruise morning even easier:
Check your vehicle height.
The parking garage has a published maximum vehicle height of 7 feet 10 inches. Travelers with roof-mounted cargo boxes, racks or oversized vehicles should measure their total vehicle height before booking.
Drop your bags before parking.
When you arrive, you can unload your luggage at the designated shuttle area before taking your vehicle to its parking space. This means you won't have to carry cruise luggage back through the garage.
Keep your reservation confirmation handy.
Have your OneStopParking.com confirmation available when you arrive so staff can quickly verify your reservation.
Plan around shuttle hours.
Complimentary shuttle transportation operates during designated cruise-day hours. If you plan to arrive or retrieve your vehicle outside those hours, arrange alternative transportation such as Uber or Lyft.
Expect heavier traffic after the cruise.
Embarkation tends to be spread over several hours, while hundreds or thousands of guests may leave a cruise ship within a much shorter window. Return shuttles can therefore be busier than the ride to the ship.
