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

For a 7-night sailing, a Wellington 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 1510 miles on those cars getting to the pier and back. One shuttle from Wellington replaces that with a single booking and a curbside drop-off where cruise line porters take checked bags.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wellington is about 151 road miles from the Port Canaveral cruise terminals, roughly 2 hours 55 minutes of driving without traffic via I-95, SR 528 and US 98. 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 Wellington is about 2 hours 55 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 Wellington around 6:35 AM, and for a noon boarding time around 8:35 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.
Yes. Carriers in the BusBrother network drop off at every Port Canaveral cruise terminal, including the terminals used by the seven cruise lines the port lists (Carnival, Celebrity, Disney, MSC, Norwegian, Princess and Royal Caribbean), and also serve Port Tampa Bay and Port Everglades. Terminal assignments can change by ship, so confirm your terminal on your boarding pass 48 hours before sailing and share it with the carrier so the driver goes to the correct pier.
Yes. Cruise shuttles pick up at hotels across Orlando, Kissimmee and Brevard County and drop off at your cruise terminal, and pickups are also available from Tampa Bay, Daytona Beach and South Florida. From Orlando, a private group shuttle to Port Canaveral typically costs $400 to $800 for a minibus or $700 to $1,200 for a full motorcoach. List every pickup hotel at booking so the carrier can plan the route.
