hi I'm Chris Cardona if you're planning
to fly in for your crew departing from
Port Canaveral there are a few tips that
will make your trip seamless from start
to finish
flying into Orlando International
Airport is by far the most popular and
convenient option however it's still
about 45 miles away from Port Canaveral
so what's the best way to plan for this
long trip from the airport to your ship
in this video we'll include essential
tips on when to fly in where to stay and
how to avoid unexpected cost giving you
more money to spend on board your cruise
any experienced Cruiser will advise you
to arrived a day early flight delays are
extremely common and have caused
countless passengers to miss their
cruise the risk of flying in on
embarkation day is just not worth the
hassle by arriving a day early he'll
give yourself some extra time in case
any unforeseen travel delay should occur
despite what many people think staying
near the port when you're cruising out
of Port Canaveral may not always be your
best option
with the considerable distance between
Orlando International Airport and Port
Canaveral if you're flying in early
you'll have plenty of time to make the
journey and explore all that the Space
Coast has to offer if you're arriving
later in the afternoon or at night
adding another Trek to the coast isn't
really ideal after you've just spent
hours on a flight plus by the time you
get over to the beach there won't be
much to do the best place to stay for
late arrivals is actually right by the
airport you'll be able to hang out by
the pool or relax in your room just
minutes after you land there are also
tons of local restaurants nearby that
are open late
a majority of cruisers don't realize how
far the airport is from Port Canaveral
and aren't aware of the costs involved
with setting up transportation when
flying in you'll need a ride to and from
the airport and your cruise terminal and
if you're arriving a day early
you'll also need to get to your hotel
you may find cruise hotel packages
online that advertise transportation
included however a majority of these
seemingly all-inclusive packages will
only arrange a one-way transfer from
your hotel to your cruise ship leaving
you under owing to figure out how to get
to and from the airport on top of that
the attractive advertised prices are
usually based on double occupancy so
you'll have to pay an additional fee for
any extra passengers when you're looking
at packages that claim to include
transportation make sure everyone in
your party has a round-trip ride between
your ship Hotel and Airport we'll help
you find a package that includes it all
coming up soon rushing to make your
flight home is no way to end your
relaxing vacation remember it's a 45
mile ride back to the airport and on top
of that deportation delays can occur
you'll want to book your return flight
in the afternoon to ensure you have
plenty of time to get off your ship and
back to the airport in time for your
flight to make your exit off the ship
even easier you'll also want to self
disembark this process is quicker than
standard deportation and requires you to
carry your own luggage off the ship to
make this process smoother make sure
that your bags are packed you're on
board account is settled and you've
requested self disembark with guest
services on the last night of your
cruise this expedited early process will
allow you to breeze past any long
checkout and customs lines and hop on
the early shuttle avoiding any post
cruise port traffic keep in mind that
you may encounter hundreds of local
passengers looking to walk off the ship
with you so plan ahead with an early
onboard breakfast time and listen to
announcements for the correct gangway
location
