Is a group shuttle from Altamonte Springs cheaper than parking at Port Canaveral?

For a 7-night sailing, a Altamonte Springs group of 20 driving in 5 cars would spend $800 plus tax on port parking (the port charges $20 per car per day, counting both the arrival and return days, paid by card on entry) and put about 610 miles on those cars getting to the pier and back. One shuttle from Altamonte Springs replaces that with a single booking and a curbside drop-off where cruise line porters take checked bags.

Frequently Asked Questions

Altamonte Springs is about 61 road miles from the Port Canaveral cruise terminals, roughly 1 hour 20 minutes of driving without traffic via SR 528 and SR 417. Real traffic and a loaded coach add time, especially on weekend embarkation mornings, so plan a buffer of at least 30 minutes. Terminal lots open to embarking passengers no earlier than 10 AM, and your boarding time is set by your cruise line, so share it with the carrier when you book.
Work back from the boarding time your cruise line assigns. The drive from Altamonte Springs is about 1 hour 20 minutes without traffic, so add at least 30 minutes for traffic and loading bags: for a 10 AM arrival, when terminal lots open to embarking passengers, that means leaving Altamonte Springs around 8:10 AM, and for a noon boarding time around 10:10 AM. Allow more time on weekends and holidays, and share the boarding time with the carrier when you book.
Book a cruise shuttle at least 2-3 weeks in advance, and 4-6 weeks ahead during peak cruise season from November through April or for holiday sailings. Same-week bookings are usually possible but carry a 20-40% premium and reduced vehicle choice. Booking early also lets you reserve the return vehicle for disembarkation day, when last-minute shuttles are hardest to find.
