We have driven ourselves and parked at the port, driven ourselves and parked at an off-port parking facility and driven ourselves, stayed overnight at a hotel and left our car there (having to pay extra to do so). We're going to try Yankee Trails this year for a one-way bus ride to the port for a cruise that takes us to England from which we will fly back. Driving ourselves was the most convenient but it's a 5-hour drive that can be tiresome, especially coming home. The parking at the port is certainly convenient but a little pricey and you can't reserve a spot so I suppose it could be full when you get there. I am curious as to how well we'll like a similarly long bus ride. We're also going to try a cruise out of Tampa which is a much easier drive. We took cruises years ago out of Port Canaveral, which is also closer. Too bad neither of those ports have nearly as many cruises to choose from as out of Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
