We stayed at Cape Crossing Marina, Merritt Island. Vey close to port. We had cars. Depending on when you go could be pricey. Not a hotel condos and townhouses, very nice, pool  right on the river. They actually had a new House Boat you can rent.

That's a tough one. On a normal cruise week, 12:15 would be fine.  I would not be concerned about Cruise Control schedule.  They seemed very professional and notify you of driver's arrival time. But if it's after Christmas, MCO will be super crazy with cruisers, Disney, Universal, holiday travel.  So airline check in will have long lines particularly Southwest.  And security could be a nightmare unless you have TSA pre or Clear travel. (We actually signed up for Clear Reserve, which is a free service that gets you through security quicker).

Thank you I will look into that

We just got off of Wonder and disembarkation was super easy.  We used Cruise Control Transportation for the roundtrip drive to/from MCO. Drive is 45 minutes to and hour.  Cruise Control has various morning departures from cruise terminal, but earliest is 8:00-8:15 am.  (you will have to do self disembark) But since it's a shared shuttle you will wait until all parties are on board the van.  It just so happened we all showed up at 7:45 and we then ended up being dropped off at airport at 8:30.  But then super long lines to check in at airline and then go through security. Wouldn't recommend anything flight before noon, but if you arrive earlier you can try for standby on earlier flight. Cost of shuttle was $25/person one way. 

Our flight is 12:15 on a Friday, we too are using Cruise Control Private shuttle.  DO you think I should change that flight?  It's the Friday after Christmas.  Thank you for your input.

Thank you Cat B J    I took a 1:15pm flight.

😉Oh Goodness, AOS.   And yes out of MCO.  Thank you

Is this time doable from Port Canaveral, xmas week on a Friday morning? (AOF)

We have a driver picking us up. We will do self debarkation.  

We are on the xmas cruise and return on the 27th, we booked as soon as it opened.

Then just keep checking to see if price drops and get a credit for future travel.

thank you

Do they allow juice in cans? 

Right now I will be dropping off a car rental on Eller

dr. fort lauderdale (Alamo), they say they have a shuttle service to the port, has anyone used them? Thumbs up/down? Thanks. I am thinking of picking a rental up there after the cruise.

Thank you.

Are you allowed to bring wine on board? I remember

doing this decades ago on Carnival, not sure if RCC allows this. I have tried to look on RCC website, I am not computer savvy so it's painful.

Yes, thank you now I can finish with the APP.

How do you know what terminal your ship docks at when returning? I am trying to fill out the mobile passport app. and they are asking what terminal at port everglades the ship will dock. Help please.

Has anyone done this excursion? Do you need to

take a taxi to the marina? It mentions that they pick you up at a hotel, nothing about the cruise port.
