Suggest you also ask this on the FL Departures board at this link:

But in general, there are several public transportation shuttles that run between MCO and Port Canaveral. You might just have to google it to see current options.  There also is Uber and Lyft that are readily available for pick up at MCO as well. 

 

"Best" option would be based on your preference and budget as the public shuttles may be lest costly, but will be multi-passenger vehicles that will wait until they are filled to depart.  Obviously Uber and Lyft will be just the opposite.

 

There are also several name brand hotels that are down A1A south of the port that you could look at, most of which also offer shuttles to the port for their guests.  Again, google / google maps can show you the area as well as hotels that are there.

I use Lyft, they are usually a little cheaper than Uber.

Which is interesting as many drivers drive for both.  I guess they just decide which they want to accept when a driver request comes in.

Another option, which I used the last time I cruised out Port Canaveral, was to rent a car at MCO and stay in Orlando for the evening. We then drove ourselves to the Port in the morning, dropped off the rental car (no one-way drop fee) and used the rental car shuttle to get to the cruise ship. We liked having the car to go to Publix to pick up a few last minute things.
