TBruce77 Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 We just got a notice, our arrival was 1:30 to 2 and now they are saying arrive 1 hour late, to avoid crowding and allow time for on-board cleaning in between guests. Can anyone suggest what to do, can we still arrive at the port and hang out in the area, are there places to sit/eat/etc? Our flight is expected to arrive around 10, grab luggage, get a cab etc, probably out by 11, it's 1hr ride so we'd be there around 12. It's too short to go somewhere else plus we'll have our luggage, can't go to NASA or something to kill time. What do other cruiser do in between airport and embarkation. I assume best way to get to port is by cab, right to Terminal 1? Departing from Port Canaveral on Independence of the Seas 12/24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume best way to get to port is by cab, right to Terminal 1? I’m assuming you are going to Port Canaveral, via MCO, since you mentioned NASA. They really do enforce the times, so if I were you I’d wait at MCO and grab a snack or browse the stores outside security after getting your bags and then get the cab for the ride to the port. No sense waiting outside in the elements when you can take your time at the airport before the cab/Lyft/Uber. It’s such a short amount of time, it may not matter if your flight(s) have any type of delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 There is The Cove at Port Canaveral which has restaurants so you could drop off your luggage with the porters at the terminal and walk over there to kill time. teddy and DandA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBruce77 Posted December 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Hi MLH, Sorry I didn't realize I forgot to add it. I edited my first post, I am leaving on Independence of the Seas tomorrow. I guess my new check-in is 2:30-3:00pm now. I don't see option to change that once confirmed, right?

I hope they don’t do in Canaveral what they did in Tampa. They wouldn’t let be drop off my luggage until it was my check-in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are out of Canaveral as well onJan 2, so I am expecting the same notification. Enjoy your cruise. TBruce77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swar Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Go eat at the Grill. It's right in front of the ship. EXCELLENT food and drinks. The cab can drop you off there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBruce77 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 They were not turning anyone away and it's better to get there because if you have unvaccinated kids, you may waot up to 40 minutes or more for results anyway. It was almost 3:30 by the time we got on the ship. I wish I knew the 14 days rule, would have vaccinated him sooner. But here we are and it was lots of fun, thank you RC.
