Fort Lauderdale to Port Canaveral shuttle for cruise passengers

Sailing from Port Canaveral without the drive

Skip the long drive and the cruise parking bill.

Sometimes the ship you want sails from Port Canaveral rather than Port Everglades or PortMiami. The itinerary fits, the dates work, or the whole family booked the same voyage. Then someone has to get everyone and their bags up the coast on sailing morning.

Ace does the driving. You skip the long drive behind the wheel, the cruise parking bill and the tired drive home after the trip. The group rides together in one vehicle and steps off at the terminal curb.

Leaving early enough for check-in

The earliest pickup of any Ace cruise run.

Port Canaveral is a long way up the coast, so this is the earliest pickup of any cruise transfer Ace runs. Dispatch starts from the check-in time on your boarding documents, adds room for traffic leaving South Florida and a rest stop on the way, and gives you a pickup time when you book.

The usual route is I-95 or Florida's Turnpike north, then east toward the coast and across the Banana River into the port. Ace doesn't print a drive time, because traffic changes it. Port Canaveral has several cruise terminals, and your cruise documents name yours, so give it to dispatch and the driver heads for the right curb.

The return trip after your cruise

The ride home is part of the same booking.

Ace books this run as a round trip. On the day your ship returns, the driver picks your group up at the Port Canaveral terminal and drives you home to Miami or Fort Lauderdale, on the same booking as the ride up. Give dispatch your ship and return date along with the outbound details.

On return day, guests leave the ship through the morning and clear customs in the terminal. Then it is the long drive south, so plan the rest of the day around it. Flying out of FLL or MIA the same day? Leave plenty of room and tell dispatch the flight time.

Vehicle sizes and the quote

A proper seat and a proper luggage bay.

On a ride this long, everyone needs a proper seat and the bags need a proper luggage bay. Ace sizes the vehicle to the headcount and the bags: a Sprinter van with a driver, a minibus for 15 to 20 or a full size motorcoach for up to 56. Larger groups travel in more than one coach, drawing on partner-fleet capacity of 40+ vehicles. Every Ace vehicle has Wi-Fi, GPS tracking and onboard cameras for the long run up the coast.

The quote is built from the pickup addresses, the sailing date, the headcount, the bags, any extra stops and the return trip. There is no posted fare; every trip is quoted, and the written quote sets out the booking terms.

Closer ports, and the paperwork

A closer port means a much shorter ride.

If your cruise line also sails from South Florida, a closer port means a much shorter transfer. The Port Everglades shuttle and Miami cruise port shuttle pages cover those runs. Starting from Miami? The Port Canaveral Shuttle page covers Miami pickups, and the Orlando Airport Shuttle page covers round trips to MCO for travelers flying out of Orlando.
