you could take the carnival shuttle from the airport to the port. I think it is like $20/person.

You should be able to purchase transfers from Carnival on your Online check in. :cool: Personally I think you should give South Florida a treat and rent a car and show them how it's done in Ireland!! :p

The carnival shuttle is $35 per person each way. We did it once and it seemed like we spent a lot of time waiting for other people. The bus won't leave until it is full.

We have found that we can rent a car from Thrifty or Dollar for $50-70 and move at our own pace. You can drop your bags at the cruise terminal and then take the car to the rental place. They will then give you a lift back to the terminal. Much faster than the Carnival Shuttle.

After the cruise is over the rental car shuttle will be waiting for you at the terminal.

Titan, OP said they don't drive and needed public transportation which is why I suggested the Carnival shuttle. Like you, I drive to the port with a rental. I pick it up at a local spot near my family north of Orlando the day before. Drive to the port, drop off the car, get on the ship... then the reverse on the way back... I have great codes for Avis and Budget for one-ways :)

snc_cam, I missed that about not driving. In that case I would suggest the Carnival Shuttle.

Would you mind sharing the Avis & Budget codes? I am flying into Orlando in August for me and the wife's 20th anniversary cruise on the Sunshine.

Titan, send me your email and will send you the codes..

If you're staying in a pre-cruise hotel, a few of them have "fly, sleep, and cruise" packages. I strongly recommend doing that, since you'll be flying in from Ireland. Comfort Inn Cocoa Beach offers a package like that, and I bought it last year. The total cost was $149 for a solo, and $199 for a couple, plus taxes (as of April 2013). It includes three shuttles: airport to hotel, hotel to ship, and ship to airport. The only catch is that it's a shared shuttle, so your terminal, hotel, and/or ship may not the first stop. Still a fun way to meet fellow cruisers before you even make it to your ship.

Titan, send me your email and will send you the codes..

Thanks

thanks... emailed you the codes... good luck and enjoy your 20th anniversary cruise.

We are staying at the Radisson Hotel near the port. The transfer from the airport to the hotel is $90.00 for six people. They charge $6.00 per person to take you to the port the next day.

Courtyard also has the fly/sleep/cruise package and I am booked for $203.00 plus tax for the 2 of us.

Trip advisor has it rated better than Comfort. FYI
