Cruise Port Shuttle in Apopka, Florida
Apopka is about 77 road miles from the Port Canaveral cruise terminals, roughly 1 hour 35 minutes of free-flow driving via SR 528 and SR 429. Boarding times are assigned by each cruise line and terminal lots open to embarking passengers no earlier than 10 AM; to reach the port at 10 AM, an Apopka group would leave around 7:55 AM, which adds a 30-minute cushion for traffic and loading bags.

Is a group shuttle from Apopka cheaper than parking at Port Canaveral?
For a 7-night sailing, a Apopka 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 770 miles on those cars getting to the pier and back. One shuttle from Apopka replaces that with a single booking and a curbside drop-off where cruise line porters take checked bags.
