Isn't that half the fun of TOTV?

People on this forum have a lot of knowledge and experience and, while some of the answers may be suspect, there is a lot to be learned from other users.

Try Village VIP Transportation at 352-353-1037. We are using them to go to Port Canaveral and they might go to Miami, but I'm not sure. Our price to Port Canaveral is $107.50 per person round trip.

Id second the suggestion to use Brightline. First thing I'd do, if that's your choice is get the app on your phone and open an account. You will get emails with various sales and if you see one for your time window, use the deal. We got a good price on first class seats. We used the train to go to Fort Lauderdale and had an Uber waiting for us. Very easy. I assume Miami would be the same. We had a friend drive us to MCO using our car. Cost was our gas and tolls. Groom doesn't drop you at the train station so it's a long walkk from the airline section to the train. Enjoy your cruise.

We got picked up by Groome from very close to the train station at MCO.

They have also recently adjusted their timetable to coincide with train arrivals, so you are no longer waiting almost an hour. Very convenient.

Ditto on Brightline. We rented a car the day before we left and dropped it off at terminal C not far from train station. At the Fort Lauderdale train station, we were picked up by a van provided free by Princess Cruises. We were on a 30 day cruise to Europe so flew back to MCO where we rented a car to get back home. Car rentals were cheaper than car services for 2 people and more convenient.

Have you looked into flying? Isn’t it 5-6 hours to drive. I have never done it. We rented 2 cars when we had the entire family down and then sailed out of Cape Canaveral. Parked the 2 cars in the parking garage there.

I almost always drive myself but I have also taken Brightline. They have so many times. I was due on the ship at 11am but we didn’t sail until 4pm so I got an early train knowing if we got delayed I’d still get there in time. I’d never fly the day of a cruise. There were no delays and it was a nice ride.
