Port Canaveral - Kennedy Space Center

[hsweat22 3]

We will be making a stop at PC on our upcoming Anthem sailing.  We would like to go see KSC (worked there when I was in college) to share what a great place it is with the wife and kids.  My question, is that there are two tours offered on my sailing; "Kennedy Space Center Day Tour (afternoon arrival)" and "Kennedy Space Center Shuttle".  The price between the two are almost identical.  The one thing I am worried about is that the kids (3 & 5) may not want to sit in the guided tour or move at the pace of the tour.  I am leaning towards the unguided that is just the shuttle to the Visitors Center.  Does anyone have experience with either of the excursions?  Thoughts?  Also....might be a silly question, but the admission to the complex is included in the excursion cost correct?

 

Thanks!

We had the same concern about our youngest and the guided tour.  She will be 8 but has some special needs.  The RCI site isn't clear on the admission but I'm sure it includes the admission or that is a really expensive transfer.  I cannot wait to see what answers you get.

This is the response I got from Royal via messenger:

 

Thanks. Yes, it includes transportation and admission. To see what the excursion entails, just click on the item and it'll give you an overview.

@hsweat22 and @Hoski Look at the fifth post down on @Lovetocruise2002's live blog here from her March 2018 sailing. She gives a VERY DETAILED and excellent review on the guided tours. I'd think it may be a bit much for younger children, but it appears to be a great tour.

I used the RCCL shuttle on Christmas eve with my son, it worked out well, we were on the first shuttle at the pier and arrived about 10 minutes before the gates opened, and he enjoyed the free WIFI while we waited for the park to open. It included admission.  I thought about doing it all on my own, either renting a car or getting an uber ride there and back, but the total cost would have been about the same, and I had OBC to spend.  I am glad I took water and snacks in a small backpack, and the lunch was pretty good for a museum lunch, budget at least $10.00 per person for lunch.
