Step 1: Arriving at MCO

Orlando International is one of the busiest airports in the world and quite sprawling. Many cruise passengers arrive at Terminal C, but note that cruise shuttles depart from Terminal B. That means your first step is to catch a shuttle over to Terminal B.

Step 2: Navigate to ground transportation

After landing, head toward baggage claim. From there, look for signs pointing to “Ground Transportation.” This might be confusing at first, as it actually means heading down to the ground floor. Follow any escalators going down until you reach the bottom level.

Step 3: Find shuttle stop C27

Once you’re on the ground floor, look for signage for shuttles. Head outside and turn left to locate Shuttle Stop C27, which serves Terminals A & B. This shuttle will bring you right to Terminal B.

Step 4: Locate your cruise line’s desk

Once you arrive at Terminal B, it’s easy to find your cruise line’s check-in desk. Head left along the windows for the Royal Caribbean desk, or go straight to the back wall to reach the Carnival desk. Once you check in and grab your shuttle ticket, you can relax until the shuttle is ready for boarding.

🛟 Cruisebound Tip: If your plans change or you miss your reservation, don’t worry—day-of shuttle tickets are often available for purchase, though subject to availability. Shuttles from Orlando International Airport to Port Canaveral generally operate between 10:00 AM and 1:30 PM, so arriving early is your best bet to secure a spot.
