It’s across from the port, has a shuttle to the terminal (although we always Uber to get there early), has a nice pool area to relax, and if you traveling with a family of 3 or 4 can get a 2 BR suite for a decent price.

smokeybandit 677 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 I've got a room at the Radisson for my July cruise, should I be so lucky that it sails Edit: I forgot, it's the Country Inn, not Radisson. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaryAA 96 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Homewood Suites (newer property) and Raddison (older property but nice pool & poolbar). Both have shuttles to the port. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MAK 5 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I may try to camp at the Jetty Pier campground cabins. If I "mix" cruising and camping (two very different worlds) I'll let you all know how that went. I pack very differently for each... RickinSTL and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jagnew 62 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 To the topic of the space center, I'm been in Orland since middle school in 88 and had been to KSC once. We went for a school field trip last year, and if you have any memory or history with the shuttle program at all, I think that it is worth your time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaryAA 96 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 If you like beer, the Florida Beer Company is behind the Homewood Suites. They have tours and beer sampling. Nice little brewery. RickinSTL and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad you booked it... Although this is a cruise line blog, people should know all the major carriers have gotten rid of change fees which in many cases could be cost $200 dollars per ticket. Now if your plans change and you need to change your flight you can without penalty and if the new fair is higher than the fair already paid you just pay the difference instead of the old why where you paid the difference plus the $200 dollar change fee. Customers can also do same day standby for free well, this option use to cost anywhere from $50 - $100 dollars depending on the airline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cman2020 25 Posted March 14 Author Report Share Posted March 14 I luckily got that $235 round trip flight. We were 2nd guessing our thanksgiving week cruise as it was gonna cost us $2800 bucks round trip for 4 just to fly to Orlando from the NY area. Pretty much saved the trip at this point !

smokeybandit 677 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 What's the go-to shuttle company these days from MCO? I think the one I used last time I sailed out of Canaveral is out of business as I can't find any reference to it anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have excellent reviews on TripAdvisor and across many other forums. In our personal dealings with them, they have always replied quickly and efficiently and their prices are very reasonable compared to other competitors. twangster 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smokeybandit 677 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Thanks. I'll give them a look should my July cruise actually happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floski 1,339 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Four cruises, four stays at the Radison. It's super convenient, and we like the layout. Excellent pool and pool bar. We park for the week, take the shuttle to and from the port. GaryAA 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We park for the week, take the shuttle to and from the port. We have stayed several times before cruises. Their shuttle service is we’ll organized. They sometimes have entertainment on the weekends at the pool bar. If you have a big family, some of their suites have two king beds and a pull out sofa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
