Cthy651 Posted July 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Today has been a very frustrating day - was on the phone to RCC for 45 min this morning, and 1 hr and 6 min this afternoon - spoke to 3 different reps all regarding their shuttle Orlando airport/Port Canaveral/Orlando. Finally got it booked, but now I am second guessing myself. This is the first time we are flying into Orlando, and because of Co-vid not flying in the day before (coming from Toronto) I booked the shuttle because I thought it was the safest bet, to get to the port, and get back to the airport. Has anyone had any experience with the shuttles, especially the one from port to airport? Is there any other transportation type (not rental car) that you could recommend? Thank you.🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However other options are: *one way car rental *Uber *Cortrans Shuttle *Cocoa Beach Shuttle *Cruise Control Transportation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had amazing transportation with Cruise Control. Best of luck and enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthy651 Posted July 7, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Thank you for your responses, really appreciate it. We have another cruise from Orlando in April, so hopefully we will fly in a day ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie51 Posted July 8, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 8, 2022 With flights being canceled and shortage of pilots and all that I would be afraid to fly the day of the cruise. Don’t understand your comment about how you can’t come a day ahead of time due to Covid. You’re getting on a cruise ship with thousands of people.

Cthy651 Posted July 8, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Thank you Marie, for that insightful comment - our flights are already booked, and to cancel would cost too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corby114 Posted July 13, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 13, 2022 If you have a problem regarding the flight on embarkation day you possibly will miss your cruise. I have read too many sad stories on Cruise Critic since I joined in March 2002 regarding this scenario. In this day and age, especially regarding flight cancellations and delays it would have been a better idea to fly in a day earlier, get a good nights sleep in a hotel in Cape Canaveral and wake up refreshed and ready to enjoy your cruise on embarkation day.

Cthy651 Posted July 19, 2022 Author #10 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Thank you Corby, however, as I stated we have already booked our flights. Normally we do, but back when we booked that was not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
