Cruise Port Shuttle in Port St. John, Florida
Port St. John is about 16 road miles from the Port Canaveral cruise terminals, roughly 25 minutes of free-flow driving via SR 528 and US 1. Boarding times are assigned by each cruise line and terminal lots open to embarking passengers no earlier than 10 AM; to reach the port at 10 AM, a Port St. John group would leave around 9:05 AM, which adds a 30-minute cushion for traffic and loading bags.

Is a group shuttle from Port St. John cheaper than parking at Port Canaveral?
For a 7-night sailing, a Port St. John group of 20 driving in 5 cars would spend $800 plus tax on port parking (the port charges $20 per car per day, counting both the arrival and return days, paid by card on entry) and put about 160 miles on those cars getting to the pier and back. One shuttle from Port St. John replaces that with a single booking and a curbside drop-off where cruise line porters take checked bags.
