No. The OP already stated that they were on a 7-day cruise. Therefore their car was in the parking garage for all or part of 8 days. For example, you depart and return on Saturday; that is 8 days total or partial days. The published policy is that they essentially charge for any part of a day that you are parked. In the OP's case, they retrieved the car one hour earlier than they originally dropped it off so the total time was 6 days and 23 hours. This is different than parking at an airport where the actual time you are parked is used to determine the fee and in this case he would have been charged for 7 days. The parking policy is published so there is nothing to dispute and they were charged appropriately given the published policy.

The OP claims that they were actually parked there for 6 days and 23 hours. So, they were parked for less than 7 days, not Saturday to Saturday, which would have involved 8 days. So, I have to agree with the OP that they were overcharged, based on the parking rate description.
