Why Staying Near Port Canaveral Matters

Flying into Orlando and driving 45 miles to the port on embarkation day can be stressful due to:

• Flight delays

• Weather disruptions

• Traffic on SR-528 (Beachline Expressway)

Staying in Cape Canaveral or Cocoa Beach means waking up just minutes from your cruise terminal instead of rushing from Orlando.
