Matt Posted August 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 I've never been so happy to have a noon check-in time. I hope I'll be heading over to the coast well after the launch and worst of the traffic hits. fireclan and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backup windows are September 2 at 12:48pm to 2:48pm and September 5 at 5:12pm to 7:12pm So, if Monday's launch is delayed, those are the other times that will be busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billdauterive Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Ugh! Figures it would happen during my first cruise out of Canaveral... If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all I suppose. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadget Hackwrench Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 It's fine family. They are launching the Artemis almost a week before we leave port. Friday, September 2nd looks like a great day to set sail! *checks the news* WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Zero traffic from Orlando to Port Canaveral when I left my house around 10:30am. A ton of traffic coming back to Orlando on 528. Pretty much from the first bridge all the way to the last toll plaza prior to the airport. USFFrank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmondFarmer Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Thanks for the report @Matt Did they get the fender bender cleared from the west bound shoulder and can we expect a dry roadways for the afternoon drive home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GatorCruiser Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Quick question about parking at cape canaveral. What’s the best choice there , the parking garage for the cruise line or the parkportcanaveral.com option. I’m going on week long wonder cruise in December and driving in. Trying to decide which option is cheapest/most convenient based on others experience. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parking garage is most convenient. It's $136 in the garage for a 7 night cruise. Offsite you're dealing with shuttles and on someone else's time table.

steverk Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 The revised launch date is now September 3, 2:17-4:17pm. This is a surprise since it was not one of the pre-published launch windows, but that's official. According to cruisemapper.com, Mariner of the Seas, Carnival Mardi Gras, Disney Fantasy and Carnival Freedom will be in port that day. Add in a holiday weekend, and it will be very busy. On the other hand, if you are on one of these ships, do everything you can to be on deck at 2:17pm and you might see an incredible show!

amanalo217 Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Will be on HotS for Sept 25 departure. Next possible launch date is Tues Sept 27 with a backup launch date of Oct 2 which may impact debarkation/embarkation port traffic if pushed to backup date depending on launch time window.
