Does anyone know of any bus transportation to the cruise port of Jacksonville from the ocala area?

Question

2 of us are planning a cruise in November on the Carnival line out of Jacksonville Fl. We are in the Ocala area. We would prefer not to drive but cannot find any other transportion. Any suggestions? Thank you

Answer 1

Probably not.  I had to drive from Ocala to Port Canaveral and to Tampa for my cruises.  None of the transport companies, (like Lake Limo) would provide transport to the cruise terminals.  I did one private transport company that would go from Ocala to Port canaveral, but they wanted over $200.  We just accepted that paying for gas and parking was part of the cost of going on vacation.

Answer 2

You are going to have to stick with driving because in Jacksonville there is no city bus line that would take you to the cruise terminal.

Answer 3

You will have to plan to drive to Kissimmee.  From Kissimmee you could take the train (it is inexpensive and a wonderful view for a vacation), or there are buses that you may schedule ahead.  There is a main train staition and a centralized bus station near the new library in Kissimmee.  Search the bus lines especially Greyhound and Trailways for your date of departure.  Also, make sure you get tickets that will still be valid in November.  Good luck.
