Two days before the sailing date the final one-third is released (Space is always released at 7 a.m.). Many times, people who have secured multiple reservations release them the night before a sailing by 5pm to avoid a no-show charge, so you can often pick up a sailing reservation then. Please note that the parking spot is not suitable for larger Sprinter vans. Or long trucks or vans with bike extensions, because it is a shorter spot on a hill.
