bymorris Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hello RC Friends, This is my first post on the Royal Caribbean blog. Happy to be here. I'm departing from Port Canaveral, FL in September 2016 for my RC cruise. We are arriving a day early in Port Canaveral. Any recommendations for hotels? I have 2 girls (5 and 4 years old). So I would like a hotel that is nice with a really nice pool. Plus I would think staying at a hotel really close to the RC port would be the best. Thanks in advance. ~Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. ~Brent We've stayed at the Radisson at the Port for both of our cruises. It's a really nice hotel with a great pool! It's huge, though! You can also park your vehicle there in a designated lot while you're gone. Within a mile of the terminal, with a great shuttle service! I highly recommend. whitsmom, Michel and bcarney 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAAAYTOOO Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 We stay at the Residence Inn Cape Canaveral Cocoa Beach (8959 Astronaut Blvd, CC 321-323-1100) which is very nice BUT the reason that we stay there is b/c it is DIRECTLY next door to the Hertz car rental place. We can rent a car at the Orlando airport and drop it off any time (usually after business hours) and then just walk over to the Residence Inn, spend the night and get the shuttle to the port the next morning. Unless you stay well away from both Orlando and Port Canaveral, you are going to pay DEARLY for a 1 night hotel stay prior to a cruise. They KNOW why you are there and they really gouge you on the price. Michel and Becky H 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bymorris Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Thanks for the recommendations. The price is reasonable too for the Radisson. I might book this one today! Floski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcclelland Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 we're in the Hilton Honors program - so we choose to earn or redeem points at the Hampton Inn & take the shuttle to & from the port - ask at the desk - it's not oceanfront but it's a short walk up to the beach - to kick start the vacation for your children - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeK Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 We also stayed at the Radisson several times. It says on their website that they allow two people per room for the shuttle. We had an extra room for our teenage girls(3) and didnt have a problem getting them on the shuttle but you might want to call the hotel and make sure. Also when you first check in to the hotel get you name on the shuttle list at the earliest time. Get to the port as early as you can.

bcarney Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 We've stayed at the Radisson at the Port for both of our cruises. I highly recommend. I second this. I really enjoyed this hotel and pool, and my then 4 and 6 year olds did as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2mybugs Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 We stayed at la quinta in cocoa beach and if you are there for any length of time, it is wonderful...right on the beach near the pier. We used cocoa beach shuttle from the orlando airport and then to the port. They were friendly, prompt and i whole heartedly recommend them. When my 13 year old left her brand new jacket on the van, the driver brought it the next day before we left. Jane Becky H 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunkelBierJay Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Our family of five state in a suite in the airside de Inn, just a stones throw away from the port. If you rent a car from Hertz, their shuttle is free, and it's virtually in the hotel parking lot. I attached a phot of Freedom of the Seas from my room.
