From the Airport: For same-day cruise transfers, we recommend landing at Orlando International Airport (MCO) by 1:00 pm and leaving the airport by around 2:00 pm. That usually gives enough time to reach Port Canaveral by 3:00 pm while still leaving room for baggage claim, pickup, and traffic.
If you are flying in on cruise day, arriving earlier in the afternoon gives you more breathing room and helps reduce stress if anything runs behind.
