Flying into Melbourne vs. MCO

[BWVPam]

I posted this on the cruise board but was hoping for some more info. We are cruising next May and hope to travel on Delta with FF miles, so cost isn't an issue. The connection would actually put us in melbourne earlier (7:20 p.m.) than our flight into MCO (8:20p.m.) Isn't it closer from Melbourne to the Port and would it be easier to fly there.

Also, if we did fly into Melbourne, are they any shuttles or transportation services that could get us to the Radisson at the Port.

Thanks for any advice.

Melbourne is closer and there is a shuttle service.
The Melbourne airport has a website, but I can't remember the address. You might just try searching for it. It has information on the shuttle.

We flew into Melbourne on a visitvia Priceline. It was a nice, clean new looking airport that was quick in and out. We stopped at Cocoa Beach before our return flight, and it was only maybe 20-25 minutes from there to the airport.
