rhohea Posted October 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Looking at doing a Sirena cruise coming into Miami on April 23, 2018. Our problem is we are also booked on a Marina cruise departing Miami on April 22, 2018 We are aware that we need to get permission from HO in Miami to delay embarking by 1 day which is at Port Canaveral. The advice we are looking for is if it is possible time wise to get a private shuttle from Miami Port & make it to Port Canaveral by 3pm. (4pm is the time Marina is due to leave). Thank you in advance. Rhonda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulchili Posted October 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Your problem may not be getting to Port Canaveral in time but rather the ability to board there. You may want to check that first with Oceania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Paul. We are doing that. Have done something similar before and had no problem mainly because the port we wanted to embark was classified as an embarkation port and so is Port Canaveral. So hoping we will get approval. Other wise we will try for the following day in Charleston or cancel one of the cruises. Do you have any advise re driving time etc. Rhonda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2017 it may be more of a problem because of the PVSA O may not have control over that Europe is different story but USA you usually cannot do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoHoHo Posted October 16, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 16, 2017 it may be more of a problem because of the PVSA O may not have control over that Europe is different story but USA you usually cannot do it I agree with this. Without knowing the rest of the second cruise's itinerary, if disembarkation is in Miami O will likely not allow you to board except in Miami due to that Act. Sorry, I don't know about your transit time between those two ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted October 16, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Agree with all the above, especially about where your disembarkation port is. But if you could do it the driving time is about 3.5 hours, but that really doesn't take into account how snarled the traffic can be between Mia and Fll and points north. The other issue would be the cost. I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunaman2011 Posted October 16, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Greetings You should have plenty of time to make the trip from Port Miami to Canaveral. Rent a car and head straight up I-95. That isn't a normal route for shuttles so a rental will probably be your best option. PVSA is not a problem since the Marina cruise ends in Montreal.

Rare msn123 Posted October 17, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Rhonda, It is about a 3 1/2 hour drive....but I-95 can be a real mess. I would not want to hassle with renting a car. Look on line. There are some shuttle services that are listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmjh Posted October 17, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 17, 2017 it may be more of a problem because of the PVSA OP's Marina cruise (04/22/2018) ends in Montreal ... so PVSA shouldn't be a problem in her case. As long as 'O' gives her the OK, she should be good to go. Port of Miami to Port Canaveral is about 220 miles ... even with traffic she should be able to make that in under 4 hours.

Mura Posted October 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 17, 2017 So are you going to do both? Or don't you know yet? I can understand why you'd want to do as much as you can given travel time from Australia to our hemisphere! Would love to travel with you again ...

Hambagahle Posted October 18, 2017 #14 Share Posted October 18, 2017 rhorea - have you thought of maybe asking to disembark at your last stop before arriving in Miami? Then fly to Miami to board Marina there? I have no idea what your first cruise's itinerary is but we have had several Caribbean cruises where the stop has been Key West (had to go through US Immigration there...) and renting a car to drive to Miami would be easy from there. There also might be flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ORV Posted October 18, 2017 #16 Share Posted October 18, 2017 If you do embark at Pt Canaveral make sure you go to the right terminal. Oceania uses one of the remote areas that not much happens at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
