Airport hotel or a hotel at the port?
Stay by MCO if your flight lands after about 8 pm, or if you’d rather not drive at night. Stay at the port if you land by mid-afternoon: you get the ride over with, and a Cape Canaveral hotel is 3–11 minutes from the ship in the morning.
Morning timing
The Go Port coaches pick up between about 10:30 and 11:30 am and may stop at other hotels. That fits most boarding windows. On the way home, the return leaves the port from 7 am; book flights after 11 am.
Every way from the airport to the ships, with prices, is in Orlando airport to Port Canaveral.
