MCO · SFB · Port Canaveral
Landing at Orlando Sanford rather than MCO? Your chauffeur meets you inside the SFB terminal and drives the roughly 55 miles to your ship.
Flying into Sanford
Orlando Sanford International sits in Sanford, northeast of Orlando, and it is a separate airport from Orlando International — so selecting SFB in the reservation form is what sends the car to the right building. Add your airline and flight number and the arrival is tracked rather than guessed at. After you land and your checked bags are off the belt, the meeting happens inside the terminal at the point named in your confirmation, and the first 15 minutes of waiting there are complimentary.
From Sanford the cruise port is about 55 miles away, with the driving part starting at roughly 50 minutes. Everything else on sailing day — the luggage belt, traffic, the line into your terminal — sits on top of that figure, so most of this page is about building a sensible margin between touchdown and boarding.
SFB to the pier
These numbers describe the wheels-rolling part of the day only. Landing, collecting luggage and queuing at the port all happen outside them, which is why the timeline below starts before the car does.
Terminal 1
Assigned to the line's largest vessels, as of 2026.
Terminal 3
Carnival's Mardi Gras boards here, as of 2026.
Terminal 8
Where Disney's ships mainly board, as of 2026.
Terminal assignments can shift between sailings. Enter your ship and sailing date so the drop-off is confirmed against the boarding papers your cruise line sends.
Touchdown to boarding
Pick Orlando Sanford as the pickup in the form, then add the airline and flight number, your cruise line and ship, the date you sail and the boarding window.
Once your checked luggage is with you, head for the Meet & Greet spot inside the terminal given in your confirmation. A delay on a booked flight never adds waiting charges.
Driving starts at about 50 minutes. If you asked for a stop when booking, up to 30 minutes of it is already covered — a pharmacy run or a quick lunch.
The car heads for the terminal your cruise documents name. If the line reassigns your ship before sailing day, pass the change on so the destination is updated.
Flying in and sailing out means packing for both. Choose the vehicle by suitcase count as much as by headcount.

Why book the SFB leg ahead
Your booking names Orlando Sanford as the pickup, so the vehicle goes to Sanford instead of Orlando International.
Meet & Greet comes with every airport arrival; your confirmation spells out the terminal details and the exact meeting spot.
With the airline and flight number on file, an early or late landing moves the pickup, and delay-related waiting costs nothing.
Fifteen minutes of free waiting begin at the confirmed meeting time — handy when the carousel is slow to start.
Ask when booking for a single stop, 30 minutes at most, between Sanford and the port; extra stop time is billed.
Two car seats plus two boosters cost nothing; note each child's age, approximate weight and the seat needed.
Orlando Sanford International and Orlando International are two separate airports, and a transfer is planned from whichever one you actually land at. Check the ticket before you reserve: if it says SFB, choose SFB in the form so the chauffeur is sent to Sanford and the meeting instructions describe that terminal. The distance and drive time quoted here — about 55 miles, from around 50 minutes on the road — belong to Sanford alone. Travelers landing at MCO should use the homepage instead, which covers that airport's own distance and pickup details.
Landing at Sanford on the day your ship leaves can work, but it calls for honest arithmetic. Begin at your cruise line's check-in deadline and count backwards: the queue at the terminal, a drive of 50 minutes or more, the wait for bags at SFB, and a cushion in case the flight is late. If the sum only works when everything goes right, think about arriving the day before. A same-day flight and sailing is looked at individually when you book, and no car service can promise that you make boarding.
The more the form knows, the less gets decided at the curb. Give the airline and SFB flight number, the cruise line, ship and sailing date, your boarding window, and the terminal if your documents already show one. Count every traveler, babies included, and list the luggage honestly — big cases, carry-ons, a stroller or a wheelchair — so the vehicle you pick really fits. Add a mobile number that will be switched on after landing. Payment is taken online when you reserve, which also meets the port's requirement that commercial rides arrive prearranged and prepaid.

Why private
The cruise starts at the gangway. The 46 miles between a runway and that gangway are the part worth handing to someone else.
Port Canaveral restricts terminal access to prearranged, permitted commercial transport. This service holds permits at the port, at MCO and at Orlando Sanford, so nothing gets negotiated at a gate.
A shared shuttle waits for other flights and stops at other ships. A private transfer leaves when your group is ready and drives to one terminal: yours.
Formal nights and a week of swimwear add up. You choose the vehicle at booking against your headcount and suitcases — up to twelve travelers and twelve bags in the Sprinter.
Up to two car seats and two boosters come free. Ask for them in the booking form.
The booking form shows an all-inclusive rate for your itinerary before you confirm — no meter running east of the airport.
Forgot the swimsuits? Every transfer includes one stop of up to 30 minutes on the way, requested at booking.
