Remember that the new ships are destinations unto themselves . There are so many enjoyable things on the ship itself. The cruise lines can make special dels with airlines to expidite getting to ports of embarkation non-stop.

Hi and Thanks for your input. It just seems more of a hassle....and of course, when it is an unknown entity...I have my "trouble" hckles raised . I have flown into both Lauderdale and Mimai and embarked there. It is what it is...can't be changed...so...I'll be going on that ride. Did you take that shuttle? Otherwise, this Freedom of the Seas , deck9, balcony suite,mid-ship is gonna be swell! Thanks again. Michelene

Maybe it is yours if you live in Fla. I have to do this after a flight from Ohio into ORLANDO and shuttle to canaveral!

Leaving on Freedom of the seas 2/27. Have to shuttle from ORLANDO to canaveral. Daughter booked this as a surprise for me, my so, and her and husband. I am paying own way. Will have to fly SWA into Orlando. Yes, cabinis great...deck 9, mid-ship. Itinerary includes Coco Cay and St. Maarten. How horrible is this shuttle thing going to be? I prefer leaving from lauderdale or Miami. ORLANDO!!!! UGLY!!!!! be honest in your replies. Always best to prepare for the worst. Thank you Michaelene Gon

get some airline....maybe Swa or airtran to fly non-stop to Canaveral for anyone having to go there to embark.....if they live east of Mississippi.....discount for those west of. Orlando and the shuttles seem awful tp me....I am scheduled for this Hell on 2/27 If it will not be hell....please help otherwise. Wanting my 3rd cruise...but dreading the Orlando to Canaveral part. I did not book this. My daughter did. Prefergoing out of Lauderdale or miami. Crying as I write this. Please help....no matter what...gotta be prepared for worst. Michaelene I will have a balcony cabin, on deck9. Mid-ship
