Real Example – 2024 Nissan Sentra Key Replacement
Recently, we assisted a family returning from a cruise at Port Everglades who had lost their only key fob for a 2024 Nissan Sentra.
They had:
No spare key
No access to the vehicle
No immediate dealership option
Using dealer-level tools (Nissan Consult 3), we were able to:
Generate a new key
Program the smart key to the vehicle
Test full functionality (lock, unlock, push-to-start)
The entire job was completed on-site in the parking lot, allowing the family to get back on the road without delays or towing.

Where to Find Us at Port Everglades — Parking Structures & Cruise Terminals
Port Everglades handles nearly 5 million cruise passengers a year across two main parking garages and several surface lots. Here's exactly where we serve you:
Heron Parking Garage
Serves: Cruise Terminals 2 and 4
The Heron Garage is the northern garage at the port, with nearly 2,000 spaces and an air-conditioned elevated passenger bridge connecting directly to Terminal 2 on the 5th floor. If you're sailing with Princess Cruises (Terminal 2) or Disney Cruise Line (Terminal 4), this is your garage.
Returning from a 7-night Caribbean cruise to find your key fob dead after a week in a warm garage is one of the most common calls we get from this location. We come directly to your level and space — no towing, no waiting.
Palm Parking Garage
Serves: Cruise Terminals 19, 21, 25, 26, and 29
The Palm Garage is the port's southern covered structure with nearly 2,000 spaces. It serves the majority of Port Everglades' cruise traffic, including:
Terminal 18 & 25 — Royal Caribbean
Terminal 21 — Carnival Cruise Line
Terminal 25 — Celebrity Cruises
Terminal 26 — Holland America Line (exclusive terminal)
Terminal 29 — Celebrity, Holland America, Royal Caribbean (free shuttle from Palm Garage)
If you sailed with any of these lines and are returning to the Palm Garage, we know the layout well. Tell us your level and bay when you call and we'll come to you.
Surface Lots A, B, and C
Serves: Terminals 18, 19, and 26 overflow
Lot A — 770 spaces near Terminals 19 and 26, entrance at 2000 Eller Drive
Lot B — 404 spaces between Terminals 18 and 19, off SE 19th Ave
Lot C — 600 spaces adjacent to Terminal 18, 1901 SE 32nd St
These open lots are where we see the most dead key fob batteries — vehicles parked in direct sun for 7 to 14 days take a toll on fob electronics. If your remote isn't responding after a long voyage, call us before assuming the worst. In many cases it's a simple battery or programming fix we can handle on the spot.
Why Cruise Passengers Call Us
Port Everglades is only 2 miles from FLL, which means many passengers fly in, park at the port, and don't return to their car for 7, 10, or even 14 days. That window creates a predictable set of problems we handle every week:
Dead key fob batteries after extended parking in Florida heat
Lost key fobs that went overboard or were misplaced during the voyage
All-keys-lost situations where no spare was left at home
Locked keys inside the vehicle during the rush of embarkation day
We respond to all Port Everglades parking areas — Heron Garage, Palm Garage, and Lots A, B, and C — in 15 to 30 minutes. Call (954) 271-1313 and tell us which terminal you sailed from and where your car is parked. We'll come to you.
A note on the FLL connection: Many cruise passengers fly into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, which sits less than 2 miles from Port Everglades. If you drove to FLL, parked there, and need help before or after your cruise, we cover that too FLL Locksmith
