Renting a car one way from TV (Leesburg) to the port seems like a much more relaxing, cheaper and faster option to me.

Almost all of the rental drop-offs near the port offer a free shuttle to the cruise port. I just checked what it would cost this month, and most days a one way rental to the port area of Fort Lauderdale would be $70 or less.

It's an easy drive, just hop on the turnpike and set the cruise control to 75. Drive a couple of hours, stop for lunch or a snack, drive two more hours and then you're there.
