I’m not sure whether to fly in the day before our cruise or to arrive the day the ship sails, and where do you recommend we stay if we fly in the night before?

You’re better off flying in the day before the cruise, we’ve seen passengers cut it really close time and time again. You’re at risk of delayed flights, bad weather and road conditions, such as brush fires, that are common along the main highway between Orlando Airport and Port Canaveral.

You’re even better off putting all the traveling behind the day before the cruise and staying at a hotel near Port Canaveral vs. one near the Orlando Airport. Once there you can catch the hotel shuttle to the cruise terminal as bright and early as you like the following morning. Click here to check out the. Port Canaveral/Cocoa Beach area hotels.

You want to make sure that the guest services on the ship know that you have an early flight and that you need to disembark early. You want to request what is called a “Self Assist Debarkation” and be off the ship at least 3 hours before your flight.
