Sfun2424 Posted February 2, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Comming off of the Carnival Dream docks at 8am can I make a 12:15 flight? If so should I rent a car? What would be the fastest way to Airport. Also can book a 5:45 but what to do all day (and with luggage)? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted February 2, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2011 A 12:15 is cutting it close. 1 - clearance might take longer then usual 2 - Back-up at customs 3 - The Biggy an accident on the freeway. MCO is good hour from Port Canaveral . You have to check in , clear security and be ready to board at 11:45 That means that you have to be at MCO at least at 10:45 Leave PC (car rental) at 9:45 Be at car rental at 9:15 Doesn't leave you much time clear customs , get bags etc. Ask the cruise line as to what time they recommend for the earliest time for a flight. :cool: If you can do it , why not spend a day/night in Orlando and fly home early the next day1:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Vic Posted February 2, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I agree with the previous post. It's way too close for my comfort. As to what you can do while waiting for your next flight, you could visit the nearby (to MCO) Florida Mall http://www.simon.com/mall/?id=139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie05 Posted February 2, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2011 If you hire a driver I think you can make it. We have had no trouble disembarking before 8. It is 45 min to hour by but MCO is terrible. It will take an hour to get thru security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suezyq50 Posted February 2, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think you can do it if you get a private a shuttle. We used http://beachlineshuttle.net/ They were there waiting for us when we got off the ship. By using a shuttle you not using time to get a rental or returning it. Also if you disembark, that could speed the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
