How to get from MCO/Orlando to Miami cruise port

It's a 234 mile journey that can take 4 hours with traffic and the ever present construction.

 

There's a bus service called Cruise Connection with service between the Orlando area and the ports of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. Besides that, your other option may be to rent a car in MCO and return it at one of the downtown Miami offices which offer complimentary shuttle service to the cruise terminals.

I assume you are getting into MCO a day or more before your cruise?

 

The two best options are rent a car and drive or a bus. Not sure about shuttle buses but Megabus and Redbus have Miami-Orlando service. Another option is to fly to MIA or FLL from MCO.

It is an easy 4 hour or so drive. We have even enjoyed an early breakfast, been on the road about 6:00, dropped the car at MIA just after 10, and been checked in and enjoying lunch and a DOD before noon. Good luck! :)

We did a similar journey last year, but from MCO to Ft Lauderdale.

Found transport links to be a bit dire so hired a car at MCO and returned it to Ft Lauderdale airport five hours later, before getting a shuttle from airport to our pre cruise hotel for the night.

We had never driven in the states before but had no issues with the journey, even after a nine hour flight from the uk
