Cruise Port Shuttle in Stuart, Florida
Stuart is about 108 road miles from the Port Canaveral cruise terminals, roughly 2 hours 15 minutes of free-flow driving via I-95, SR 528 and US 1. 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, a Stuart group would leave around 7:15 AM, which adds a 30-minute cushion for traffic and loading bags.

Is a group shuttle from Stuart cheaper than parking at Port Canaveral?
For a 7-night sailing, a Stuart 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 1080 miles on those cars getting to the pier and back. One shuttle from Stuart replaces that with a single booking and a curbside drop-off where cruise line porters take checked bags.
