Orlando airport to Port Canaveral travel time

Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get from the airport to the pier?
It seems a little over 30 minutes for Miami cruises and a little under 30
minutes for Ft. Lauderdale cruises. Someone was telling me it takes close
to 90 minutes for Port Canaveral. Is this true?
Thanks
Tom

Canaveral.

Its 46 miles straight down the Bee-Line Expressway from MCO to the
port, which means 46 minutes at 60mph (less at 80 mph). Add to that
14 minutes to find your pier and park for a total of 60 minutes driving.
BUT if you may want to allow 30 minutes to transit from the arrival gate
to the front door of the terminal... that could make it about 90
minutes.

The trip from the Orlando airport to Port Canaveral was 40 or 50
minutes. It has been a long time so I don't recall exactly, but it was
no where near an hour or more.

Check online maps. Miami and Ft Lauderdale airports are just a few
miles from their ports. But Port Canaveral is a long way from
Orlando, even though it's straight down a highway.

When we took Disney last fall, it was the first time that I felt it
was easier & safer to fly in the night before with my family.
Probably overkill, but it took away any anxiety about missed flights,
traffic messes, etc. I rented a car and stayed next to the port in
(I think) Embassy Suites or similar.

For what it's worth, the speed limit on the B Line is 70 mph. On a
good traffic day you can make the trip in about 35 minutes, not
counting parking/airport hassle time. If there's an accident or a
wildfire, though, anything goes.

Thank you for the replies.

Tom,
It takes about 45 minutes from the entrance ramp of SR528 at MCO to
get to the Cruise Terminals at Port Canaveral.
I know because I just got home from taking a party of 13 to Carnival
Sensation (I picked up a group of 6 from Disney Cruise Line earlier
this morning) - I have personaaly transferred over 5,000 people
between the airport and the port in the past 2 1/2 years.

Not overkill at all. I think you'll find that most veteran cruisers on
rtc fly in a day early and would recommend this for everyone.
