I live near Port Canaveral and do private rides to and from MCO, along with Uber/Lyft. My rate is $100 and I drive a Black Chevy Tahoe that carries 5/6 people depending on luggage size. I'm a registered Port Canaveral driver and would be happy to accommodate your family for your trip.  [email protected]  (retired firefighter)

Everything and I mean everything has gone up in price. It's not realistic to expect cruises wouldn't or shouldn't. I would however happily pay more then except cuts to quality. What being Diamond has to do with the price of tea in China is lost on me. Inflation and price hikes can and should effect all. And as for feeling "priced out", well how do you think people who have had 30% and 40% rent increases feel? It's tough all over my Diamond friend. LOL.

One thing to consider is the day of the week that you will disembark. The Wonder comes and goes on a Sunday which helps with the traffic on the beachline with most people heading to the coast vs week day and work commuters and Sunday mornings are usually slower at MCO. Same situation on a Saturday with traffic but MCO can be busier in the morning. Mondays and Fridays work traffic to Orlando is busier and the occasional traffic accident can cause back-ups. 11:00 am flight should be the mark to be on the safe side as a Ride-share/ private transport driver the normal time to MCO is 40-45 minutes so plan your disembarkation time accordingly for Uber/Lyft shuttles are a different story because of they don't leave until full.
Side note- 2 weeks ago I saw a GoPort bus full of passengers going 30mph on the Beachline backing up traffic for several miles (turbo issue) then the next day saw another shuttle bus parked at the entrance to MCO on the big curved overpass and the driver was walking along picking up suitcases that fell out of the bus as he rounded the curve. The driver did not look happy.

I was a short stop, probably a medical issue, just a FYI in case it delays disembarking in Baltimore

I don't feel they should get more. And it's not my problem they rely on it as part of their salary. They took the job knowing some will tip more then others. Also that removing auto gratuities is an option. I tip what I feel is appropriate, Not the cruise line, not other cruisers. What I want to tip. Just like on land. And no I don't care about the folks washing the sheets in the laundry, etc. That's not my problem on land, not my problem at sea. I don't see a cruise as a humanitarian mission like some here do. Chocolates for the workers, Tips on top of tips, etc. Do any of you give this much thought to the people working in your local Walmart, etc? It's seems to be some kind of privileged guilt. I don't have that. Money for my trip comes from several years of saving. You wait on me, I leave a tip. The way people in this country have been doing for a hundred years. But making up the shortfall of a multi million dollar companies pay scale I don't feel is my problem. And as far as low wage workers goes, I know more of them then any other kind. Hell, I am one. A lot of people "only make" that kind of money. I cannot tip more then suggested amounts. That's my limit. Because I don't have, not don't want to. And I happen to think those that directly serve you should get the tip, like on land. I can't fix the world in a weeks vacation. That's not my responsibility.

I would suggest calling one of the hotels just outside MCO and ask about parking at the hotel during your cruise and use my ride service from the hotel to Port Canaveral ($80) Black full size suv. Then when you fly back just Uber from MCO to the nearby hotel. Other suggestion is park at "The Parking Spot" it has covered parking and 1/2 mile from the airport.

I'm a retired public safety officer and have a full size SUV Chevy Tahoe black and offer ride service between Orlando "MCO" and Port Canaveral along with Sanford "SFB" and Port Canaveral for anyone interested just message me. I live 15 miles from the port and the wife and I are loyal Royal Caribbean travelers.  I'm not sure if the administrator allows me to post if not please remove. I can also answer any questions anyone may have about the Port area.

I live 15 miles from the Port and drive back and forth between MCO/ SFB and Port Canaveral for both Uber and Lyft, I also do private rides several times a week. If you self carry off the ship by 07:30-07:45 you will make it to MCO in 45 min from Port Canaveral. On a rare occasion an accident on the "beachline" main road to MCO will cause a delay. At 0800am the number of available uber/lyft cars waiting in the Port ride-share lots hover around 50-60. As the morning progresses the number of cars available decreases from the first wave of disembarking passengers. At around 9:30 the ride-share wait can be several minutes due to the drivers returning from MCO so plan accordingly.

I drive Uber and Lyft several times a week from Port Canaveral to MCO/Orlando  the trip takes 45 minutes from pick up to the curb at MCO. Time variables would be a traffic accident on the beachline or long TSA lines. Usually TSA moves quick that timeof the morning.

Post Canaveral also put out an E-mail that says they will be docking the Independence at Terminal 6 and busing passengers over to their parking deck at terminal 1 later Monday morning also............so expect a mess

I drive Uber and Lyft and private ride service at Port Canaveral and as long as your outside in the pick up area around 8am you will make it to MCO with no issues. The only issues we ever have is accidents along the Beachline or an early rocket launch.
