AussieCoasterKing Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 We are planning to cruise on Independence OTS and Harmony OTS next year and the trip has two nights between the cruises. I was thinking of staying at the Radisson given its so close to port but would appreciate any suggestions or advice. I realise our room probably won't be available when we get dragged off the ship so any recommendations of tours we can take (or should take by ourselves) to Kennedy Space Center would be appreciated! Thanks!! Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Port Canaveral? If so, you could always take a trip over to Orlando (45-60 minutes by car) and check out a theme park or go outlet shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you rent a car for those days....having said that...I really like Kennedy Space Center as well, but I'm a bit of a space nerd.

ChessE4 Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 We found the Radisson to be underwhelming for the price, but it's been 3 years since we were there. If you want beach access, I'd move farther down to the pier. The upgraded rooms at Best Western give a nice view and are close to the beach. They offer shuttle to the cruise terminal. Not 5 star, but very pleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 I stayed at the Hampton Inn and Suites Port Canaveral. It's also really close to the port and has a shuttle to the port. It's attached to Home2 so that's another option. There's also Homewood Suites that shares the same block (the parking lots do connect through in the back!). Those are all Hilton brand hotels and are clean and new and include breakfast. I would recommend getting a car rental so you can explore on your own. bryresangel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampurp85 Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Is the Home2Home also a nice hotel? I have it booked as a pre and in-between hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They share a lobby and pool area and you have access to the Hampton breakfast options as well as Home2. Home2 is more of an extended stay hotel (full fridge, microwave, sink, etc. They're both brand new. The photos in my Allure blog show some of the lobby and pool area. It's really nice and I think we are staying there again in January but at Home2 this time maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 @AshleyDilloCool I saw the fridge and stuff, but could care less. I just focused on the brand, free breakfast and location and was like easy peasy lemon squeezy for this solo gal. AshleyDillo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
