Drive from Hou TX to Port Canaveral

[webzila]

Has anyone done this and would you advise it? We are looking at a cruise Feb 13 to 20 and for some reason Feb 12 / 20 are way more expensive than other weekends for flying there from HOU. Not sure why...

 

Flying back there are more lower cost flights but going there it's not cheap at the moment and there are four of us so we were considering driving leaving sometime on Feb 12

 

I drove from Houston to Orlando before but there was no pressure to make it by certain time or risk missing the ship.

How long did it take you to Orlando last time??

 

We drove to Miami but took the leisurely route & 3-4 days

 

If you take turns driving all day/ night about 1000 miles maybe 15 + hrs depending on stops

 

Is it college week or spring break ??? Maybe that is why the higher prices

I think it Took us about 14 hours to drive to Orlando with minimal stops...

 

The week we picked have Valentine's day and Presidents day in there, but no spring break

Find another cruise -- sounds like those are expensive dates due to Valentines and President's day. Go a week earlier or later.

 

I would also look at alternate airports (Tampa, JAX, even MIA and FLL are only 3-4 hours away from PC).

Well if more than one or 2 are driving you could make it most likely

 

for me I cannot sit in a car for more then 5-6 hrs a day ;)
