With Port Canaveral being the second busiest cruise port in the world, you may be surprised to find the most convenient airport to fly into, Orlando International Airport (MCO), is 45 miles away. This extra 45-60 minute drive to the port after arriving at the airport can make it a challenge for cruisers flying in on embarkation day. Due to the distance, it’s essential for travelers to ensure they choose a reliable ride that will get them to their ship on time to board.
