I always drive and park at the cruise terminal next to the ship.

Check with Yankee Trails. They are located next to Lowes on 441. They service the cruise terminals and we took it in April to Ft. Lauderdale cruise terminal. Cost was $50/person for one way travel. Double for round trip. On time, comfortable and efficient. Highly recommend this way to travel.

The Cruise parking is very Affordable.. I parked there in Jan. 9 days with the Port Canaveral Pay in Advance option for under 100.00.. I have heard too many stories of the Shuttles not picking people up at their homes.., Enjoy your Cruise

Another option is to rent a car and drive down. Just make sure that they give you credit for a full tank of gas when you turn the car in. Both Hertz and Avis have places near the cruise terminal. Have fun on your cruise.

Yep, used them & was pleased with the service. Be aware that they don't seem to operate in the summer months.

Have used nearly every option to every terminal in Florida, except Jacksonville, rented auto and drove to Miami, turned in in downtown Miami and had Hertz employee drive us to Dodge island (no charge) and drop us off. Have used three different cruise bus services, one of which no longer operates, have driven to all Florida terminals and used their parking, and have also used several off site parking services in Lauderdale. In summary, including giving some consideration to the cost of each, I would say our greatest level of satisfaction was using Yankee Trails, Port C. used to only be $50 round trip, probably much more now ! You do have to take a cab, or talk a neighbor into getting up VERY early and driving you to the bus meeting place, usually the Bealls department store near Yankee Trails office on 441. Others have pointed out, in summer in Florida, there may not be any other option but to drive to the terminal in your own automobile, but always check on line for various "drive and park" deals at local motels and hotels. The Radisson at Port C. is one example of all inclusive hotel room the night before, parking, full breakfast, and round trip transportation over to the port. These packages are available at every cruise port.
