    Mobile parking / credit card?

    Anyone parked in the port garage in Mobile lately?  Is the credit card machine working?  I'm trying to figure out how much cash to have on hand.

    Thanks!  Looking forward to 4th of July holiday on the Holiday!!!

    The only information I've seen indicates that cash only is accepted at the Mobile port garage. I believe for a regular sized vehicle it's $75.00 for the 5 day cruises. I'm not sure how old/accurate that information is.

    Re: Mobile parking / credit card?

    I was looking on the Port of Mobile website, which indicated credit cards are accepted.  However, the information hadn't been updated in two years, because they indicated their parking prices were about to go up to their current levels.  If they don't accept credit cards now, it would be nice to know for sure.

    Everything I've read said to bring cash for parking. Others have said there is an ATM in the garage but it's been broken for a long time. We're gonna take cash for it to avoid any problems.

    I recently returned from the Holiday.  Cash only, without a doubt.  I didn't see the cash only sign until I reached the point where you pay.  Have a great cruise.  Wish I was gonna be on the boat with you.

    Thanks to all who answered, I wanted to make sure I had enough cash (don't want to have to take $75 out of my shopping money at the last minute!!).  Packing tomorrow, driving to Mobile Friday, sailing on Saturday!!! Happy 4th to all
