Good morning everyone! We made it to florida and today is cruise day!! Direct flight from Cincy to Orlando was pretty easy (although completely full!! We took uber from the airport to our hotel for the night at Cape Crossing Resort and Marina. Last night we ordered doordash from one of the local restaurants.
Here are my thoughts about the resort here:
-Great setting and location, right on water and at marina, about 15 minutes from cruise port, about 20 minutes from Cape canaveral. It took us around 40 minutes to get here from the airport
-This is more of a condo type resort vs a hotel. We are in the main building in one of the rooms they call suites, but there are free standing condo's in here too that may be nice for people looking for multiple rooms, full amenities with washer/dryer, etc.
- Ordering Doordash was convenient last night and I appreciated having the kitchen with regular plates, silverware, dishwasher, etc. I underestimated some of the local places being closed on the holiday yesterday so our choices were mostly chains.
- Our room is modern, nice balcony with plush balcony furniture. Bathroom is nice and bed was very comfortable. The only negative was that we went to get ice out of the tray in the freezer, the ice tray looked really gross. I went to the main office, and the guy at the check in counter gave me ice out of the ice machine from the main fridge in the lobby. We had packed our own bourbon, extra water, and bottle of Cava sparkling wine for the room in our checked luggage. This worked out well. The tv is a smart tv. We connected our amazon prime wirelessly and watched a movie last night so it was a relaxing night in.
- Our check for Harmony was supposed to be at 11:30, but all of the checkins got pushed back 2 hours due to mandated CDC cleaning. We asked for a late check in when we checked in yesterday and will be departing at 1pm. They charged $10 extra for the late check out, but it seemed worth it to relax at the resort. the pool looked really nice and welcoming last night and was open until 10. I will probably go for a swim this morning.
- Tonight is dinner at CHOPs at 5:30. We will make the rest of the reservations for our 3 night dining package and our included specialty restaurant as soon as we board!
