Tweetybird Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Hi. We will be flying into Port Canaveral the day before our cruise. We will also be staying the night after our cruise in order to have enough time to catch our flight. Can you recommend a hotel that we can stay at that will include, preferably free, shuttle from airport to hotel and from hotel to cruise port the next day? Same for when cruise is over. Do you have a recommendation of hotel we can stay at that preferably has free shuttle from cruise port to hotel, and then hotel to airport that Saturday? Don't want to break the bank. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 If you stay at a hotel near the port, the shuttles are generally free. But you would probably pay for transportation from the airport to the port. In the port area, we've stayed at the Radisson, which has a restaurant, bar, and pool. We've also stayed at Best Western Cocoa Beach, next to the pier so you can walk around, eat, enjoy the beach, etc. Both are somewhat dated with the Radisson being nicer and more expensive. However, there isn't anywhere to really walk, unless you want to circumnavigate their park and cruise lot. There are many nice hotels to choose from in the vicinity of the port, but I've personally found the pricing a bit confusing. Sometimes the hotels sell out because of all the cruise traffic, so you end up finding a 3rd party vendor with a block of unused rooms. Other members will comment about their ground transportation preferences to and from the airport. Last time we flew to Orlando we bought a transfer from RCI, but we also stayed at one of their "participating" hotels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 look at goportcanaveral.....overall it seems like the easiest option....all included for one price....and lots of options for hotels in Orlando or Port Canaveral... you wont find any for "free" that I know of. You can also looking at piecing it all together yourself which may save a cpl dollars...but its a lot of shuttles and Ubers etc that way... This is always the dilemma of sailing out of PC.....easily can add $500 or more to your vacation for a family of 4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbjunkie Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 If you’ve never used Uber or Lyft, download their app. Typically the first ride is free when you schedule it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Check https://www.goport.com to see which hotels offer this kind of package and see if the pricing works for you. It may be cheaper for you to just get a hotel near the airport and pay for your own transportation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTripp Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Hi Tweetybird, we just came back from HOTS out of Port Canaveral. I found & would highly recommend Radison Resort at the port on Astronaut Dr. They have several differsnt packages, a park and shuttle package( you car is parked and left behind the hotel( not gated, but seemed secure enough), a room and breakfast package, or just room and you arrange your own 10 min shuttle to the port. The room is nothing spectacular needed updating, open air long hallways , but clean & comfortable beds. There were 27 of us, ALL would stay again due to price and convenience. There is a restaurant on site, and ones within walking, absolutely excellent pool area, seperate kiddie pool, a fantastic waterfall and huge lava rock walls that keep the pool noise in and away from the rooms, a bar inside and out. The shuttle to the pirt was great i think $10 per person, as much luggage as you want, you choose your time to be in the air conditioned lobby and wait till your name was called, or jump in early if there is a no show. We missed our time, but no issues, people jumped on inour place and 5 min wait and we were on the next shuttle over. Coming back there was a longer wait than i would have liked, but nothing we could do about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
