Mairner of the Seas

[Tgirl]

If anyone has advice on leaving from Port Canaveral and flying into Orlando, I'd really appreciate it. I have found shuttle service from airport to port, but was thinking of flying in on Saturday instead of Sunday when the ship sails..Any input will be greatly appreciated--Traveling in Sept.

Hi Tgirl, welcome to Cruise-Chat. I'll be doing the same scenario on September 2nd. I checked with Royal Caribbean as to their shuttle service and it's $32 per person each way. I'm flying in the same day as the cruise this time. Usually I stay over night near the port I'm sailing out of and just rent a car. I found renting a car is cheaper than using a shuttle service. It'a about an hour drive from Orlando to the Port. I'll be checking on some other shuttle options and I'll let you know what I find out.

I am also getting to the port the day before. I went on line and put in key words orlando airport transfers and shuttles and a bunch of limo and shuttle companys came up. I have seven people in my group and found a good shuttle service for $200 plus tip. Round trip !

I will be going the 23 of June, On the Mairner of the sea, First time cruiser and I can't wait !

The best price I found for shuttle service so far is $50 per person round trip. You can rent a full size car at the airport for about $45. When you drop it off at the Port location they will provide complimentary shuttle service to the ship. It's about 5 miles.

Thanks--would you stay in Orlando, or go closer to the port to get lodging?

My daughter is sailing on the Mariner in October and she is staying in a hotel on Coco Beach. I usually stay in Orlando. If it's just over night it really doesn't matter too much. As you know, there is a lot to do in Orlando if you want to spend two or three days.

Several Hotels in Orlando will arrange for transportation. We are a group of 6 traveling. We are planning to stay 1 night in Orlando and the hotel will shuttle us to the docks for a small fee. Each hotel vary in price. Worth checking out.
