Landing on sailing day
Go Port’s airport-to-port runs leave between 10 AM and noon, and same-day bookings close at 11:45 AM. If your flight lands after noon, book a rideshare or a car service, and leave a buffer: boarding usually closes 60–90 minutes before departure. Safer still, fly in the day before.
Staying near the airport the night before
Orlando airport hotels make sense after a late flight. DoubleTree, TownePlace Suites, Embassy Suites and Cambria all run free airport shuttles. Go Port then picks up at Orlando airport hotels between 9:30 and 11:30 AM for $29.99 a person, or sells Fly Snooze Cruise packages from about $173 that bundle the airport pickup, the night and the ride to the ship.
Other airports
- Orlando Sanford (SFB): about 60 miles. Go Port runs one pickup window (10:30 to 11 AM) from $49.99 a person.
- Melbourne (MLB): the closest airport, about 25 miles (40 minutes), with fewer flights. UberX was about $56–60 in late 2025.
Driving yourself
Take the North exit from MCO and SR 528 East (toll). Use Exit 54A for terminals 5 to 10 and Exit 54B for terminals 1 and 3. See the parking guide for rates.
