Tetra Posted October 6, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I'd booked RCCL transfers from MCO to Port Canaveral and back, and I'm regretting it after reading reports on the RCCL board about sitting on a bus at the airport for up to 3 hours while they wait for it to fill up. These reports weren't specific to Orlando, I don't think, but it still has me worried. I'd assumed that they'd run a bus every hour or so, but now I'm thinking it might be just one bus that leaves around 12:30 PM. I'd really wanted to get to the port around 11 AM. I'm considering switching to Cocoa Beach Shuttle, and doing a pickup at Universal Studios, which is close to my friend's home (going down a few days early to visit). I'm assuming that they pick you up, make a few stops at various hotels in the area, and then you're on your way. Does that sound like a better idea, or am I worrying over nothing?

Marie51 Posted October 6, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Sounds like an excellent idea to me. I am the one who waited at the airport for 3 hours using the RC transfer. However my experience was in Miami. I don't know about the Pt Canaveral transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted October 6, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Sounds like a plan, but we had friends who tried to get out of using the Miami Carnival shuttle they had paid for and there were no refunds offered! :eek: Hopefully you have not booked/paid for the transfers, or RCCI is better about offering refunds. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glituner32 Posted October 6, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 6, 2011 last year for carnival, waited about hour and half for bus to fill to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted October 6, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 6, 2011 We were finished eating lunch on our ship when we saw people arriving in a hissy-fit saying they had to wait two hours after picking up bags before they left the airport. They had pciked an early arrival specifically thinking they'd be at the ship early. Didn't arrive until 2-ish. Transfers are a big waste of time and money in our eyes.

greenleafs21 Posted October 7, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 7, 2011 We had are taste of the Bus and the shuttles and never again. For a few dollars more I would recommend a reputable private transportation company like Executive vip limo. Less stress and peace of mind knowing you will get to where you are going with no delays.

thatsmysunny Posted October 7, 2011 #7 Share Posted October 7, 2011 It's like that going to the port and going to the airport. They want to take a full bus. I will never do the shuttle that RCCL provides, again. You waste to much time, besides depending on how many are in your party you may come out cheaper either in a cab or another shuttle company.

eandj Posted October 7, 2011 #8 Share Posted October 7, 2011 RCCL isn't the only line with the same shuttle delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
