Just off the Treasure yesterday. It was a 2 hour bus ride to the airport due to construction traffic. We noticed the traffic on our way to the port and hoped we wouldn't get stuck in it yesterday, but nope - we were crawling as the highway was down to one lane. We didn't even arrive at the airport until after 10:30am. The airport was a zoo - 4 ships were in port yesterday which I assume contributed to the chaos.

If you are cruising in the next few months, make sure your flight time won't be an issue if you get stuck in that traffic. We had a 1:50pm flight and we didn't have much time at the airport before boarding.

I really miss the days when you could check your luggage through to your final destination on board.
 
We were on the same cruise! Our bus driver took a detour to avoid the traffic, but it still took us almost two hours to get to the airport. Luckily our flight wasn't until 2:59 pm so we still had plenty of time.
 
This happened to us in March, too. The driver said that lane closures meant that he had to take a detour, so it took us two hours to get back to MCO. It looks this is an ongoing problem.
 
Yeah, 528 was pretty bad last week when I was driving to Disney Springs to meet some friends for dinner. Ended up redirected on some stupid routing.
