Embarkation: the right terminal, at the right hour
The cruise port for Orlando, about fifty minutes east of the airport, with terminals on both the north and south sides of the channel.
Worth knowing. North and south terminals are on opposite sides of the water and the drive between them is twenty minutes. The terminal number matters more here than at most ports.
A cruise port is not one address. Your boarding pass names a terminal that changes between sailings, and a chauffeur who takes you to the wrong one costs you an hour in a queue of taxis. We match the terminal to the ship and the sail date at booking, then schedule the drop-off inside your assigned boarding window rather than at the earliest possible moment — arriving three hours early at a cruise terminal buys a longer queue, not a better cabin.
Disembarkation: pier pickup without the scrum
Disembarkation mornings are chaotic and the published times are optimistic. We hold the car and give you ninety minutes of complimentary wait from your stated pier time. You text when you clear customs and the vehicle is in the pickup lane within minutes. For groups we stage several vehicles and load them in sequence, which is the difference between a party of thirty reaching the airport together and reaching it over four hours.

Before and after the sailing
Orlando is a convention city that happens to have theme parks. The Orange County Convention Center is the largest exhibition facility in the country by usable space and its calendar drives a market that is nothing like the leisure image of the city. Convention weeks bring executive sedans, Sprinters and coach shuttles; the parks bring SUVs and mini buses full of families.
A pre-cruise hotel night, a gap-day city tour or a provisioning stop on the way to the pier are all added to the same booking. The Travel Center books the hotel and the flight alongside the car if you want a single itinerary.

- Executive SUV — 6 passengers, 6 bags
- Executive Sprinter Van — 14 passengers, 14 bags

Questions
Port Canaveral: frequently asked
Which terminal will my ship use at Port Canaveral?
Berths are assigned per sailing by the port authority and the cruise line. We match your ship name and sail date to the assigned terminal when the reservation is made and re-check it the day before you travel. North and south terminals are on opposite sides of the water and the drive between them is twenty minutes. The terminal number matters more here than at most ports.
How long will the chauffeur wait on disembarkation day?
Ninety minutes of complimentary wait from your stated pier time. Customs clearance for a full ship is measured in hours rather than minutes and the fare assumes it.
Which airport should I fly into for Port Canaveral?
Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the practical arrival. Terminal C is a separate building with its own roadway. An arrival there and a car sent to A/B is a twenty-minute error.
Can you carry cruise luggage?
Yes — this is why we default to an SUV or a Sprinter for cruise work rather than a sedan. Tell the desk the bag count and it sizes the vehicle.
Can you move a large group from the pier?
Yes, on a staged manifest with several vehicles loaded in sequence, or on a single mini bus or motorcoach.
